A type of mixing which has become real popular recently is called scratching, scratching the record and Cosmic Kev here is a master of scratch in Philadelphia.

[00:37:30]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Scratching is using the sound of the needle passing over record to create a rhythm it is not formally scratching the record taking the needle and moving it across the grooves--

{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
--what it is is keeping the needle in the grooves but moving the disc itself either much faster - either much faster in a forward direction or in a backwards direction to create a certain sound and then you use that sound by manipulating your wrist and your fingers to create a rhythm which you overlay--
