MASTER OF THE MIX: DJ SCRATCH

Congratulations to one of my favorite producers and one of my biggest DJ influences, DJ Scratch, on winning the first Master of the Mix. DJ Scratch is a legendary producer who has made tracks for EPMD, Das Efx and most notably a ton of tracks with the great Busta Rhymes. Chances are if you’ve gone to a Hip Hop club in the past 15  years, you’ve shaken your ass to some DJ Scratch beats. Most recently he’s been traveling around as Q-Tip’s tour DJ.

I’m not a big fan of reality shows at all but Master of the Mix was maybe the best reality competition show I’ve ever seen. They got some of the biggest DJ’s in the world to battle it out with a series of DJ competitions, and the last man standing would be named Master of the Mix. Some of the superstar DJ’s included DJ Rap and DJ Revolution. However it was Grammy Award-winning, and Erykah Badu producer, Viktor Duplaix battling it out with DJ Scratch in the final episode, with Scratch becoming victorious.
