Released nearly 10 years ago, these series remain just as important nowadays. Each of the most important scratch techniques has dedicated videos with detailed explanations. From classics like the chirp scratch to advanced variations like the slow autobahn, you’ll find it all!
On our team’s favorite series, thanks to their detailed and clear explanations. Even the most advanced techniques like boomerang scratch are easy to understand and learn.

These are more than just videos - it's a full free DJ training course! With the legendary DJ Shortee leading the way, you'll learn scratching techniques, Q&A sessions, special training vids, and you can also grab free sample packs!
We like the longer format tutorials that are great for those diving deep into scratching. The Q&A part is also great—a fun and effective way to learn independently without feeling isolated.

In this series, the incredible scratcher DJ ND reveals his most advanced combos. One of the very few channels to try and break down ultra-complex scratch techniques that really take you to the next level. The videos are short (too short maybe?) and require an extremely solid base in scratching to keep up. Heads up, this really isn't for everyone… 🥵
At the office, we're still trying to work out phrasing from episode 4, so we'll let you know if we get there one day… #dedication 💪

Very niche channel for the most adventurous guys out there. These series combine both theoretical and practical aspects of scratching, with combinations never seen in other channels. If you’re bored with the same old scratching techniques, check this out and you won't be short of inspiration!
For those who can read TTM notations, they are shown in real time on each of the videos, giving the demonstration its full meaning!
