synopsis
SCRATCH is a feature-length documentary film that explores the world of the hip-hop DJ. From the birth of hip-hop, when pioneering DJ's began extending breaks on their party records (which helped inspire break dancing and rap), to the invention of scratching and "beat-juggling" vinyl, to its recent explosion as a musical movement called "turntablism," it's a story of unknown underdogs and serious virtuosos who are radically changing the way we hear, play and create music.

September 30, 2002
Doug Pray's first-rate documentary chronicles the evolution of turntablism, starting off in New York with Jazzy Jay and Afrika Bambaataa and moving on to the West Coast, where a pack of wunderkinder led by DJ QBert helped turn scratching into a twenty-first-century version of pyrotechnic guitar jams.
