Effective Scratches for Mixing Into Songs
Washington, D.C.-based DJ school, the Beat Refinery, is back with a new Learn to DJ tutorial video. This time, Red Bull Thre3style Washington, D.C. Runner-Up DJ As-One explains how to use scratching to mix into songs, as opposed to using scratching as a lead. The techniques discussed in the episode are the “stab” and “scribble.”
Check out the three-minute video above and visit the Beat Refinery’s website to learn more about the school.

Two weeks ago, party rocker and turntablist As-One went up against Trayze, Jeyone, Yurz Truly and Petey Complex at the Red Bull Thre3style Washington, D.C. Qualifier. While Trayze ended up taking the crown, As-One delivered an impressive routine and was named vice champion. Now that the battle is over, the D.C. native has uploaded his Thre3style application video, which was responsible for getting him into the competition.
The Thre3style USA Championships are set to take place this April in Phoenix, Arizona.
