DJ meetups, jams, and the essence of passing on the knowledge and beauty of DJing, especially in the realms of Turntablism and Portablism culture, have always been a deep seated passion of minefor a very long time now. The importance and beauty of these community meetups and jams extends far beyond showcasing one's skills; it's more about preserving a culture of rich tradition, sharing knowledge, and fostering creativity.
This year, I kick started SkratcherBeirut, which is part of the part of the global Skratcher community. Its inception aimed to provide individuals a space to delve into the art and beauty of the Turntablism culture, all within the embrace of a supportive community. It's about bringing those "Bedroom DJ" and those who love the art and practice it in silence out into the open, offering them a chance to share their musical expressions with like minded passionate DJ's and fans of this culture. The beauty of Skratcher community it welcomes enthusiasts of all ages, nurturing the Turntablists of the future.
Currently I am still based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I actively contribute to SkratcherKL, where I assist in organizing and promoting community events in collaboration with the dedicated team. Whenever I find myself traveling, particularly to Dubai (although less so due to the ongoing Covid situation), I enthusiastically join SkratcherDubai for their jams. If you're keen to connect with a broader community, I encourage you to check if there's a Skratcher chapter in your local community. You can easily find information online, mostly on Instagram, or reach out to any Skratcher account via DM to inquire about their community presence in your country. Let's keep the beats alive and thriving! 🎧🎶
