Turntablism: Golden Era Scratches
1 level // 6 Sessions // 9 hours of hands on instruction + lab time
Hip hop's "Golden Era": the period between the mid eighties and early nineties where sampling, originality, and stylistic diversity reigned supreme. In this course you'll be exploring the pivotal scratches of the Golden Era. The chirp, transform, stab, skribble, and of course the baby scratch are the main players. Our focus, however, is not simply learning these scratches individually. Instead, the key to bringing these scratches to life in your routines is through unique combos. You'll also be introduced to the basics of scratch notation and how this system can be utilized to take your scratch routines to the next level. DJs we'll be examining include Jazzy Jeff, Premier, Cash Money, Pete Rock etc...
This course assumes a basic knowledge of DJing that is equivalent to Off Centre's Level 1: Intro to DJing class.
