Event Details

For Local DJs, Turntablists, and Lovers of Hip Hop Culture

The Art of the SCRATCH, Pt II brings the turntables to the spotlight in an electrifying DJ panel and performance featuring the legendary DJ Qbert, a visionary who has advanced the craft, and a special appearance by Grandwizzard Theodore, the inventor of the scratch. This event is for the heads, the crate diggers, the rhythm technicians—and anyone who lives and breathes Hip Hop.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of conversation and creativity as these icons share stories from the frontlines of DJ history, demonstrate next-level techniques, and reflect on how scratching has evolved across generations and regions.

Special guests will include East 3 from The Rock Steady Crew and surprise guests who continue to push the culture forward, followed by live performances that showcase the raw power of the wheels of steel.

  • DJ panel featuring Grandwizzard Theodore, DJ Qbert, and special guests
  • In-depth discussion on the evolution, technique, and future of turntablism
  • Live scratch performances and collaborative sets
  • Community cypher and Q&A
