Disco Scratch

About time old Waxer drops some more dusty flavour on all you Scratcho Discers!  This tape is a bit shorter than the others I’ve upped but still comes off like frogs legs in Paris.  This must have been bang on the time when the Black Rock n Ron LP “Stop The World” came out as both Tim & Dave are playing cuts from the LP plus Black Rock n Ron were in the UK.  Dunno about you but I think the Stop The World LP is an absolute iron clad classic and I was well happy to hear some flavour from them on this tape.

Thesre are some shout outs from various heads that called into Dave Pearce’s show, one dude shouts out “Area, flex, bob, Crimea, arcade, race & stoop (I think)” so if you recognise those name maybe it was you??  About 30 seconds in there’s a crazy wack housey remix of “Scrum & Then Some“, which some of you may remember as being the much better B Side to the 12 “Black & Proud” by the Dismasters.  All these uploads are unedited, I think it’s important to keep the whole tape as is, whether good or bad.

Also the legendary “How on earth did he become a Hip Hop scratch DJ on one of the most prominent Hip Hop shows of the day” K C J does 2 utterly dreadful mixes on this tape, good selection of tunes but mixed perhaps while he was simultaneously trying to beat the world record for putting on and taking off a wetsuit complete with flippers, mask & oxygen tank as many times as possible, who knows!!!  Still, as pony as his mixing skills were, you gotta love it!!!
