16 May 2009 - Scratch Perverts

The almighty Scratch Perverts are gracing the turntables of barrow and its looking like being one of the best nights to ever grace Barrow! Supporting are the Media Monkeys and Ash Howell (Sourpuss djs). We also have cutting edge live visuals by Media Monkeys and Infected Tv. This night is not to be missed!!!!

The Scratch Perverts have garnered widespread acclaim. The team won the first DMC Team championships in 1999, claiming it again in the 'Perverted Allies' alias (a fusion of the Perverts and the Allies DJ crews). Additionally Prime Cuts claimed 2 consecutive ITF World Scratching titles, and Plus One won the Vestax battle in 2000, not begetting his returning the DMC World crown to the UK after a hiatus of 10 years. Their technical contributions include the 'feedback' technique and the Euro scratch amongst others.
They have now retired indefinitely from competition and gone on to regular live DJing, touring around the world & holding a residency at Fabric in London. They have also gone on to producing their own music, describing hip hop as being "a celebration of all kinds of music just by its very nature". Their influences have been said to be 'old school' artists such as Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa in addition to present day acts such as Dillinja, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Aphex Twin.[citation needed]

The Scratch Perverts are also notable for their adoption of drum and bass and feature it heavily in their DJ sets. They contributed to the track "Get Ill" as part of an album track for D&B producers Ed Rush and Optical.
