ScrubBoard Is Back; DIY Scratching With Tapes

Remember that era just after turntables, and just before CDs, when magnetic cassette tapes were the music medium of choice? While tapes never took off as DJing tools, the ScrubBoard uses the same technology for a unique hybrid tool. Watch a brand new video of it in action in today’s article.

The ScrubBoard is Back!

If you missed it the first time around, the ScrubBoard was a concept that debuted back in 2014 by innovator Jeremy Bell. The basic idea was to use magnetic tape as an alternative to a turntable, with a moveable tape head that you can slide across a strip of tape. It allows a more precise level of control than on a moving turntable platter.

The bonus here is that Jeremy has also added a kill switch to the unit that can act as a transform switch, tagging the audio on and off. It’s a serious evolution from the original ScrubBoard concept – and rubber bands hold the whole thing together. Watch it in action:

Jeremy writes:

“[..,] I’ve also been spending a lot of time practicing, so now I actually have some solid skills, unlike in my previous videos! I’m looking for a good live venue to show off my newfound ScrubBoard chops, but in the meantime, please enjoy this video excerpt of my live set.”

Unfortunately when the ScrubBoard went to Kickstarter status it didn’t end up getting funded, falling about $ 9,000 short of the goal. We’d love to see it get another crack at making it big time – which is why we’re featuring it here on the DJTT blog.

Classic Tape Scratching From 1991

Jeremy Bell is of course only the most recent innovator to cut it up on tape. There’s a classic performance (embedded below) from the 1991 DMCs where the Latvia’s Mr. Tape scratched entirely on magnetic tape. If you’ve never watched it – take a few minutes and witness the magic (along with those annoying disco whistles):

And who could forget Ruthless Ramsey – scratching on two boombox-style tape players, complete with body tricks?

Mark Knight – Yebisah

Mark Knight’s latest outing on Toolroom Records is a timeless, feel-good slice of musical hedonism that harks back to those glorious days when house was house, and nothing more.These days, the word ‘house’ is more often than not accompanied by a qualifier: is it ‘tech’, ‘deep’, ‘future’ or one of another dozen or so sub-genres that seek to further categorize a style of music that frankly could do without it. Step forward Mark Knight to deliver ‘Yebisah’: a record that is HOUSE, pure and simple, perfectly timed to put a smile on the faces of thousands of clubbers all around the world, not least of all in Ibiza. "Back in the day, Ibiza was about house, not tech House, techno, minimal or bass music” says Mark. “That’s why people use to congregate there. I just wanted to write a solid, uplifting house record that DJs could play peak time or at the end of their set. “Ibiza has been instrumental in my DJing career and as an artist and this record is an ode to the most magical island on the planet. It’s a house cut that I hope a lot of DJs will love and recognise why it’s perfect to be played on the island."Expect to be hearing ‘Yebisah’ all over the White Isle and the rest of the planet following its release this August.

Bastian Bux – Prinzen (Original Mix) [Suara]

Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/release/oracle-ep/182633001 Bastian Bux feat Anon – Linna (Original Mix) 02 Bastian Bux – Oracle (Coyu "90s" Remix) 03 Bastian Bux – Prinzen (Original Mix) 04 Bastian Bux – Oracle (Original Mix) Bastian Bux delivers his third EP on the label and shows the evolution of his own sound, now in a more techno way but remaining the big melodies and complex harmonies. In this release we can find the very first vocal track of Bux, an emotional and beautiful song called “Linna”. “Oracle” is introspective techno with a mental arpeggio ready to burn your brain off. Coyu did a ravey, fat, 90s techno style remix of this track, bringing the original vibes to another level. The final track is “Prinzen”, epic proggy techno for music lovers. Bastian continues growing securely along this path, step by step, and he is becoming one of the nice surprises of the last months.Artwork by GaAsMastering by www.pobla.es
