SCRATCH PERVERTS (MIDNIGHT SET) @ COUNTDOWN NYE 2010


The Scratch Perverts are a collective of turntablist DJs from London, formed in 1996 by DJ Tony Vegas.



The Scratch Perverts originally consisted of 4 members (Tony Vegas, Renegade, First Rate and Mr Thing), before expanding to an 8-member crew with the addition of Prime Cuts, Harry Love, Killa Kela and Plus One. The collective split for a short period in 2000, then reformed with just 3 members; Tony Vegas, Prime Cuts and Plus One.

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, first beating A-Trak in Hawaii in 1999 and then defending the title in Los Angels the following year. 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 London hotspot Fabric. They have also gone on to producing their own music, with Plus One being one-half of Stealth favourites JACK BEATS.



The London-based trio made a name for themselves in the '90s as hip-hop battle DJs, but in the meantime their tastes have expanded. Nowadays, their extra-busy sets include everything from electro house to forward-thinking dubstep, as their new mix for Ministry of Sound clearly demonstrates. After kicking off with a bit of grime from Wiley, the compilation weaves through cuts by Jesse Rose, Mala, The Chemical Brothers, Four Tet & Burial and many more. Naturally, the group manage to fit 28 tracks into this single disc mix. Check out the mix teaser video to give you an idea of what to expect:



The Perverts have also been instrumental in Activision's DJ HERO, contributing tracks and routines for the chart-topping game:



THE SCRATCH PERVERTS PLAY AT 11.30PM - 12.30AM IN THE RESCUE ROOMS.
