Just been listening to an old Sy tape quality old skool hardcore. I hate the way he scratches on practically every tune. I get sick of hearing it. Don't get me wrong a bit a scatching is good but every tune and with weird noises like cuckoos shagging really annoys me.
Scratchin' Love it or Hate it

I love scratching, but yeah, too much/too much at once does piss me off to the point of saying "For feks Sake, just put the fekking record in!".
On the whole its ace, but there is a lot of cases of over doing it I suppose. Sy usually manages to get a good balance though, but I cant comment on the said tape.......
Id love to be that good, perhaps its just "Vinyl Envy" lol.
See ya

Scratching is ace when it's done properly, but there's definitely a fine line between good and enough already.
One of my mates used to do this rip off of the Jazzy Jeff transformer scratch and to this day it sounds proper to me, we used to think he did it better than the meister himself. You can check it here...

Scratching imo is wicked, As Oldskooldazed says Sy mainly uses the ''Bounce' set of sample records for his scraztching but you'll also find he scratches in alot of tunes - So he's not forgetting about mixing and then just slamming the next tune in.
as a famous dj once scratched
'wha wha whats a d..d..j.d dj if he can't scratch'
dj hype
you can buy all sy scratch samples in the record shops
i much prefer a dj who scratches more than just a beat or a sample

Yeah I agree scratchin is amazing in small doses but not for all the record, thats just saying, 'hey I can scratch everyone'

I've just been in Poland for a couple of weeks and there was this DJ scratching over the top of this hard jungle. Fookin' shit he was - don't give DJ's free drinks is the lesson here.
I freakin` love scratchin`.
Its great to hear it these days especially when most of the big djs just concertrate on mixing for 1 minute then letting some prog builder plod along for 12 minutes.
Only wish i could do that crab thingy.

Yeh, I agree wiv Ste! Scratching has a time and a place, and I personally dont think you can just scratch anywhere! Scratching is originally an effect/trick used in hip hop when breaks where dropped in repetively or to fill a blank/instrum/or where the DJ was able to show off.
Some dance music I personally think scratching is a NO NO! Peeps who mix TRANCE, thats defo a no no for scratching, deep grooves can be a no no, unless the scratch is positioned perfectly!! I'd say if youre playing house / old skool! Scratch about every 10 to 15 tunes, If you've only got 1 or 2 rhythmic/melodic scratches you dont want to here it every 2 feckin tunes!!!
Thats all 4 now!!!!!

Yeh, top scratcher Jazzy, he was the 1st to use (You could call him the inventer of...) the birdy scratch and numerous other tricks! Thats the scratch, which, if I remember rightly, DJ Sy uses alot!!!
Is the birdy scratch the one that makes a tweeting noise?! I like that one! Sends me haywire.
