Scratch Events This Weekend in Ikaria

About Scratch

Originating in the South Bronx during the mid-1970s, scratch is a rhythmic and percussive genre fundamentally rooted in early hip-hop culture. It utilizes turntables and crossfaders as primary instruments to manipulate vinyl records, creating distinctive chirps and stabs through manual needle manipulation. Characterized by syncopated, non-linear timing and moderate tempos, the style projects a gritty, urban, and experimental mood that prioritizes technical skill over traditional melody. As a foundational element of turntablism, it shares a deep semantic relationship with breakbeat and electro, representing the first major instance of using existing recordings as raw material for entirely new compositions.

Also known as: Scratching, Turntablism
