Podcast #7: DJ Rasp Talks Touring China, Winning Scratch Comps & DJing With An Orchestra

Just how do you go from teaching yourself to make mixtapes with a cassette player, to being a two-times DMC UK Supremacy Champion, five-times IDA UK Champion, and Red Bull 3style UK finalist… as well as becoming a world-touring DJ, scratch tutor and competition judge?

Well, in DJ Rasp’s case, he did it via a long-term stint as the DJ in a band, and working with a world-famous orchestra!

In this, the latest episode of our “Tales From The Dancefloor” podcast, Rasp gives some deep insight into the scratch world, shares what it was like to tour China recently… and reminisces about when mixtapes actually were, you know, tapes…
