About Me

Got my turntables and first mixer back in 1988 and I have been scratching ever since. My goal is to make scratching sing. Preferably long extended lyric lines like in Italian Opera. This also implies that I will need to scratch legato. You might think this is impossible considering that scratching is very percussive in nature but if one studies Radu Lupos piano playing you will see that percussive instruments can be made to sound like they sing legato lines. Also member of the now retired bands Scratchaholics and Universal Riddim (Rub a Dub records). Swedish DMC dj champion and has represented sweden 3 times in the DMC world championship. Got ingame music in the xbox 360/PS3 game "The Darkness". Released 3 records for scratch djs and is featured on a bunch of other artists records.

Pointless stuff

I just found a clean version of a recent Too $hort album at amazon (see link below), this is just weird, why would anybody want a CLEAN version of a Too $hort album? The end must be near sin...

whos the best here?...youre not good enough too die under my hands!

Hip hop and kung fu is a match made in heaven. It's no accident that many Wu Tang clan members took names from old school kungfu movies and borowed heavily from kungfu movies in general. There is also...

Working on a scratch album

Since scratching is mostly filled with copy cat scratchers who take the easy way and bite their style from the most popular DJs instead of making a personal style, I feel I have to show that there are...

Dancing hands (or Dancing VS Aerobics in scratching)

I remember when I was taking my masters up north in sweden. In this icecold town there was lots of people working out by doing aerobics (mostly girls since real men dont do aerobis ;-) right...

Scratchingens inneboende uppror (eller konsten att svammla istället för att sova).

"Sliter det på skivorna?" Är förmodligen den mesta frågan jag får som scratch:are, med "går det att få tag på vinyl skivor nuförtiden?" som god tvåa. Svaret är ja, på båda frågorna. Ibland tänker jag...

4 skivspelare är fler än 5 cd spelare!

YES! Hämtade hem mina 2 reservskivspelare som stått i rub-a-dub studion, så om inte EPMD konserten tar musten ur mig totalt imorgon ska jag väl lyckas spela in nån ny scratch träning i helgen. J...
