The Skratchstream sprung back into action tonight with a live hour and a half from the one and only DJ Blam. Some sneaky new beats and a lot of new styles.
The Skratchstream will be back for 4 weeks only as we move into a series format. We will have a poster up this week to get the information out there about whats coming up in the next few weeks.

However, we can confirm that Jimmy Penguin is next up in the new regular Tuesday slot at 7pm GMT (8pm UK Time).

Very exciting news on the way about this years summer shows, but for now check out what we’ve done so for….

Head straight to the videos

I am pleased to say that we will be on the way to the Community Skratch Games in Ireland from about 4am tomorrow morning. To make the journey all the more comfortable we have decided to travel with Ryanair (!). These now seem like strange decisions, but it will leave more money for stout over the weekend. To celebrate all of this.

Welcome to the new-look website! As you will see we have added a Skratchstream preview box on the front page. Throughout the Skratchgames we will be broadcasting live, so if there is a Play button in that box, we are broadcasting live!

I will archive videos throughout the weekend, so you can check what the Community Skratch boys and girls have been up to since we last saw them back in August.

“As she came up the stairs she noticed the smell. Intoxicating. Like the rotting flesh of a unicorn. The midgets ran at her, playing their tiny instruments with fury as they circled her on the landing. Fall she did. Down, down, down she went. He cried aloud when he discovered the body and swore vengeance. But vengeance on whom? He kissed she on her now cold forehead, washed and dried the dishes and sipped a cup of tea.”

We have been waiting an awfully long time for an album by the cryptically original dynamite duo of Doctor Blam and Professor Plato, but following a bolt all doors weekend of intense scratching and philosophy, we are well on our way to hearing it.

The Norwegian natives brought their unique flavours to London to record the album alongside NozL Recordings pair, Maroon and Lone Wolf. There were some sizzling cuts laid down and we just cannot wait until it finally hits the vinyl cutting room!!!

Lone Wolf buzzed about very conspicuously recording footage of the long weekend and has pieced it together to form a mini documentary for your enjoyment for the now and as a mouth watering taster of what will be powering it’s way into record shops in mid 2010!

One word… AWESOME

Vimeo and You Tube… search for NozL

Enjoy

Help us try and push the video by pasting the embedded links on your forums and sites and telling your chums and aunty Ethel to watch it so they can understand why we all like skratching so much!

We don’t think we’ve heard many more sincere ways to describe the way in which we like scratching than these two incredible guys have shown in the film.

Long live Blam and Plato.

Because we are incredible nerds and because we are now starting to get quite a few people checking our humble blog, I hope to do some live broadcasts of the recording process and archive them until Monday.

Catch exclusive action from Blam, Plato, Lone Wolf, and Maroon right here throughout the weekend. If this works out, I hope to do the same at the Skratch Games in April..
