All about The Scratch Perverts

The Perverts consist of Tony Vegas, Prime Cuts and DJ Plus One, and are generally acknowledged as some of the finest and most influential turntablists ever.

They have contributed countless techniques and pioneered radical innovations in developing the skills and possibilities that can be achieved on a turntable.

"Retired indefinitely"

As a team, they have won two consecutive World DMC Team titles; Prime Cuts also won two consecutive World ITF titles, and Plus One won the World DMC Champion and World Vestax Champion titles.

Having become so dominant, they have now retired indefinitely from competition. 

"Not a typical style"

Now, after winning all there is to offer on the competition circuit, they have begun to produce their own music: their take on Hip-Hop is going to be used in the broadest sense. Describing Hip-Hop as being "a celebration of all kinds of music just by its very nature", the Scratch Perverts' forthcoming releases will not be of a typical Hip-Hop style.

They have gained influences from past masters Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa to present day acts such as Dillinja, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Aphex Twin.

The Scratch Perverts are also notable within the field of turntablism for their adoption of the drum and bass music of their native UK, which now features heavily in their DJ sets.

Although they have retired from battling, they still continue to DJ; holding a residency at Fabric in London, and regularly playing festivals and club nights around the world.
