This weekend’s DJWORX Session for the IDA UK and Ireland was lots of fun, all of which was captured via direct audio feed, and some of which was also captured on video. Yes, I know it’s the loved/hated fisheye lens, but it was easier to shot with that than constantly refocus with a narrow frame, and also because it gives a fuller impression of what the worxlab is like and how many people were there.

There are 4 videos, my favourite being the improvised posse cut using the Numark NS7II’s MPC pads for drumming. Be warned — there’s A LOT of scratching in these clips, and 95% of it is “ahhh” based. So if you have an aversion to turntablism, or are one of those scratch snobs who feels they should use other sounds (they do believe me), then don’t click on any of the videos. If however you want to see that there is still a scratch community, and that it’s stronger than ever, then I implore you to watch all 4 clips.
We learned a lot doing this first DJWORX Session, and will certainly be putting this knowledge into practice next time around. More cameras and better lighting are in order, as are PA stands and new workbenches. Watch this space, which for once isn’t an ill-used idiom. And don’t worry — we’ll be doing way more than just scratching in the worxlab.

And here’s a full 3 hours and 44 minutes of what happened, straight from the master output. I missed a little from the very beginning, but I’m sure this will be more than enough to satisfy even the geekiest of scratch geeks.
Dope Style Giz! What a great colab, wish I could have been there in person to witness it. You have truly contributed so much to the game, thanks for all you’re doing at DJWORX and the Skratchlounge!
Dope! A massive thanks for the whole day, it was refreshing to see that the scene is still alive.
wicked day. glad to have been a part of it!
I somehow slept on this happening, looks dope!
Freakin awesome!!! Great work thanks for sharing
Safe some on eusing the Optimus prime Battle plate,
Love the vids.. what i would give to have been there! would like to see a list of participants, i’m not the best with faces of various ‘tablists…. i see a few i know Angelo, Rasp.. was that Jon1st?
btw, the wide angle fisheye is fine by me.. it’s like FX, easily overdone but fine in moderation ..and in this case, appropriate considering the wide arrangement of activity so we can catch more of the action :)
so dope!
UPDATE: Soundcloud of the session added.
That Guy with Black Hat. Really great improvisation. Congrats!
Nice to see Jon1st! One of the nicest guys about, and absolute qaulity stuff.
awesome! Are there any links to scratch sets from anyone on here, would love to grab those
