Scratch – The documentary
« The Presets: This Boy’s In Love (Lifelike Remix) | main | Tivoli Audio SongBook »
This is an amazing almost 1,5 hours documentary about scratching and hip-hop culture. Director Doug Pray (Hype) pays tribute to the innovative art of DJing in the electrifying documentary Scratch.
Featuring the most legendary figures in the DJ scene, Pray’s film is at
once a deeply insightful historical document and a highly entertaining
glimpse into the world of underground hip-hop. Modern luminaries such
as DJ Shadow, Mix Master Mike (of the Beastie Boys), DJ Q-bert, Rob
Swift, and DJ Swamp are interviewed alongside living legends like
Afrika Bambaataa, Jazzy Jay, and Grand Mixer DXT, in order to paint a
broad, comprehensive picture of how DJing has evolved over the years. Seamlessly cutting between interviews and actual footage filmed at
several high-profile DJing contests including Skratchcon 2000 and the
DMC U.S. Finals, Pray’s film is a must-see for both seasoned fans and
the uninitiated, a celebration of one of the late-20th century’s most
thrilling, original musical movements. [via Best Free Documentaries via Wire to the Ear]
