The Scratch DJ Academy recently released its turntable tutorial, titled On The Record: The Scratch DJ Academy Guide. The book attempts not only to direct deejay hopefuls in their scratching endeavors, but also to familiarize readers with the lifestyle and culture of other successful deejays who have made huge impacts on the art form.
Co-founded in 2002 by legendary Run-DMC member Jam Master Jay, The Scratch DJ Academy aims to bring together amateurs and veteran deejays and producers. In addition to the new book, aspiring deejays can pay $300 for a six-week turntabling program at different locations in New York City, Miami, and Los Angeles.
The book contains interviews with over 45 celebrity deejays including DJ AM, Grandmaster Flash [click to read], Q-Bert, and DJ Skribble who give insight on the history of the art form, the art of the mixtape, and how to handle gigs, among other tips.
