Scratch Perverts (UK) at Sandwiches

Sandwiches presents

SCRATCH PERVERTS (UK) - Tony Vegas / Prime Cuts / Plus One

Thursday 20th September @ Sandwiches

For the first time ever in Wellington, Sandwiches proudly presents to you the genre defying, beat bending antics of the one and only Scratch Perverts!

Tony Vegas, Prime Cuts and Plus One are the Scratch Perverts - a name that has become synonymous with Hip Hop and battle DJing ever since their formation in 1996. Their reputation as one of the world’s most progressive DJ collectives is unparalleled; two consecutive World DMC Team titles, Plus One's World DMC Champion and World Vestax Champion titles, Prime Cut's back to back World ITF Scratching crowns, and countless showcases and gigs all over the world.

Now having retired indefinitely from competition and gone on to regular live DJing, touring around the world and holding down a residency at Fabric in London. Their sound fuses a wide range of club styles into one big melting pot of dancefloor destroying turntable antics. The Scratch Perverts are also notable for their adoption of drum and bass and feature it heavily in their DJ sets. Expect the unexpected though as the Perverts do not limit themselves to just any one style, House, Grime, Techno, and Breakbeat have also been known to feature in their sets.

These days, instead of spending hours building battle routines to take each other out, the Perverts are crafting beats to do exactly the same thing! “We’re always trying to out do each other,” Plus One says with a grin. “Even though we’re all working towards the same cause, still at the core of it is that energy – I wanna make the best tune this week, I want to have the ideas, and that gives us this immense drive that maybe other people don’t have.” The creative energy and enthusiasm that the Perverts exude is quite something, through all their schizophrenic influences and lofty ideals you get the feeling that they will harness and channel their combined creativity into something very special. “Our challenge is in coming up with something that’s an honest reputation of ourselves,” says Plus One, “Which is quite a difficult thing ‘cos we’re into so much different stuff.” As Tony Vegas sums up; “We’re just trying to true to ourselves, we want people to be left in no doubt whatsoever as to what a Scratch Perverts record is, you can guarantee that we’ll be bringing the same amount of honesty, energy, desire that we have to our DJing.”
