Havn't really heard of many Dubstep DJ's scratching it up,
the style would lend itself nicely 2 a wee bit of back an forth,
delayed maybe? Any1 know of any1?

i haven't really heard any cuts on sets that i've listened to.

i like scratching to dubstep tracks and am surprised it isn't really common

yeah !!!!! Sometimes I scratch on dubstep set...usually I play with Mc Ganjiskhan a dubstep intro in dnb nights, I scratch while he's mixing and he sing while I'm mixing :D

but by now...I stop scratch about 2 month ago, I remember how to scratch...but I'm concentrated on mixing :wink:

scratchin to dubstep is too much fun. the scratch perverts were mixing and scratchin dubstep for a bit of there set when they played for us a few weeks ago. shit was HEAVY!! one of our local hip-hop / turntablist DJs was scratchin to a couple of bits as well.

Its hard enough to mix two tracks together without having the added rush of scratching inbetween a mix.

Hip Hops different, you can just scratch a tune in, or cut 5 tunes in, in a row.

Dubstep's perfect for scratching to, imo! Also surprised that I've not heard any DJs doing it.

Cutting up two copies so tracks aren't always rewound would be better than rewinds too (sometimes)

I dont really feel to scratch in Dubstep, plus it's not too feasible with my dubs, but i'll still double up 2 copies and do the odd scratch with vinyl.

If you've ever caught a Hip Hop set of mine then you'll hear me scratch.

Hijak is a don at scratching BTW
