Scratch Perverts

The Scratch Perverts are a collective of turntablist DJs from the UK, formed in 1996 by Tony Vegas, Prime Cuts and DJ Renegade.

Biography

The Scratch Perverts originally consisted of 4 members; Tony Vegas, Renegade, First Rate and Mr. Thing. The Scratch Perverts later expanded to an 8-member crew with the addition of Prime Cuts, Harry Love, Killa Kela and Plus One. The collective split for a short period in 2000, then reformed with just 3 members; Tony Vegas, Prime Cuts and Plus One. The other members did not reform due to artistic differencesFact|date=December 2007, and have gone on to pursue individual projects.

The Scratch Perverts have garnered widespread acclaim. The team won the first DMC Team championships in 1999, claiming it again in the 'Perverted Allies' alias (a fusion of the Perverts and the Allies DJ crews). Additionally Prime Cuts claimed 2 consecutive ITF World Scratching titles, and Plus One won the Vestax battle in 2000, not begetting his returning the DMC World crown to the UK after a hiatus of 10 years. Their technical contributions include the 'feedback' technique and the Euro scratch amongst others.Fact|date=December 2007

They have now retired indefinitely from competition and gone on to regular live DJing, touring around the world & holding a residency at Fabric in London. They have also gone on to producing their own music, describing hip hop as being "a celebration of all kinds of music just by its very nature". Their influences have been said to be 'old school' artists such as Kool Herc and Afrika Bambaataa in addition to present day acts such as Dillinja, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Aphex Twin.Fact|date=December 2007

The Scratch Perverts are also notable for their adoption of drum and bass and feature it heavily in their DJ sets. They contributed to the track "Get Ill" as part of an album track for D&B producers Ed Rush and Optical.

The collective has been known to use MySpace in order to both advertise themselves and their music.
