All the breaks you can poke a needle at
This site has got to be one of the most useful resources for all you crate diggers out there. The-Breaks AKA the rap sample FAQ is a leading website with a huge database of hip hop, rap, funk, soul, jazz and reggae tracks conveniently archived for easy search. Anyone visiting the site can search for their favourite artist or song and it will output all the sampled artists in that track. You can also search in reverse to see which hip hop artists sampled a certain track/artist. This is awesome if you want to find the original tracks to hip hop songs so you can put your own spin on it or rock the crowd with some funky old beats. I guess the hard part is then finding it on vinyl (unless you use Serato Scratch or Final Scratch…). Make sure you check out The-Breaks.com to be in the know!
Scratch Combo Generator
I used to have a program that you could create random scratch combos if you input all the scratches your are cabaple of. I can’t seem to find it now (I think it was from asisphonics along with ‘the ever’). In searching for it I have found an online combo generator that has an embedded player and plays random instrumentals, some of which are quite nice beats to cut to. It also generates progressive ’stages’ of random scratch combos. You can also upload your own beats to cut to, hours of fun!

Trying new combos can be an excellent way to broaden styles and sometimes push you to learn a new scratch or stumble across a nice new combo of your own!
Comments(3)Turntable Radio
Although turntable radio already has a mention in the links section, I would like to further acknowledge their excellent work in the turntablist community. Turntable radio produces regular podcasts featuring some of the best turntablists in the world. Keep the beats coming. Big ups.
