ii’iiit ‘[ )AY HASH SCRATCH The Venue, Edinburgh. Sat 5 May.
LA hip hop crew The Black Eyed Peas hit town the other week and opened the show with their tour DJ mixing and scratching. Sadly, the poor turkey’s set went down like a lead balloon because, unlike other European cities visited during the tour, it takes more than a little crossfader jigging to impress the crowds in Edinburgh. This is, after all, the home of acclaimed DMC and ITF battle DJs Ritchie Ruftone and Plus One and consequently, a healthy breeding ground for the turntable stars of tomorrow. It’s also the home of Scratch, the legendary hip hop club that celebrates its
fourth birthday this month.
Established in London, Scratch proved such a
successful hip hop residency, that founding member Lyley decided to bring it north of the border. That way, the big name guests secured in London by his cousin Matt Smooth could also perform in Scotland, thereby splitting the costs and sharing the love. ‘After a year in London it made sense to start one here as well,’ says Lyley, who‘s not only a resident DJ, but also the graphic design mastermind for Scratch. ‘It was all just a natural
progression.’
Now though, Lyley can’t claim to be the greatest hip hop DJ in the world (he leaves that side of things to

fellow resident Ritchie Ruftone who was rated third at this year's ITF World Scratching Competition in LA) but he’s got a fine line in design. And, as if the fourth birthday bash wasn’t cause enough for celebration, Scratch have joined forces with seminal NY label Rawkus to release a compilation of the finest hip hop, with tracks selected by the Scratch DJs themselves.
Lyley’s done a sweet job on the artwork and the CD is
just the ticket to get you in the mood for partying at the birthday breakdown. (Catherine Bromley)
