How to Combine Basic Scratches to Form Advanced Scratches

For the second installment of the Beat Refinery’s “Learn to DJ” series, DJ As-One explains how to combine basic scratches to form complex and advanced ones. The techniques used in this video are the “baby scratch” and the “chirp scratch.”

As-One is DMC Washington, D.C. Champion and Red Bull Thre3style Washington, D.C. Runner-Up. He was featured in DJcity’s “Cutting Room” series in 2013.
