Scratch Class with DJ Samrai

Overview

Don't spend the entire MoVement Sydney festival making moves to everyone else's music — learn to create some sounds of your own. At this free, two-hour master class, presented by Work-Shop, DJ Samrai will show you how to scratch. The event is designed for total newbies, so don't worry if you feel like a total ignoramus. The only thing you need is your curiosity.

DJ Samrai is one of Australia's most hard working DJs. He's a three-time nominee in the Australian Dance Music Awards' Best Turntablist category and holds loads of national titles. When he's not nabbing trophies, he holds down club residencies, plays festivals and tours with big names, such as The Black Eyed Peas, Ozomatli and Method Man.
