  • Turntablist trio Scratch Perverts kick off a spankin’ new mix series with an upfront blend of hip-hop, rap, rock, grime, dubstep, and punishing drum ‘n bass. ‘Watch the Ride’ drops this March. Each of the Scratch Perverts - Prime Cuts, Tony Vegas and Plus One – is a megawatt DJ in his own right with a pile of mixing championship trophies in his closet, but together they’ve made even more of a mark: Their in-your-face trademark sound is a regular part of Fabric's Friday night rotation, a fact showcased on heady last mix effort ‘FabricLive 22’ in Summer 2005. The Perverts' latest release ‘Watch The Ride’ features loads of original material, including custom-made bookends, a couple new rap tracks featuring Roots Manuva (‘Freaks’) and Dynamite MC (‘Drop’), as well as the DMX-sampling DnB stormer ‘Fuck What You Heard’. The rest of the tracklist reads like your iTunes library on random: that new Pharaohe Monch joint; ‘Push’, an old Chemical Brothers b-side; ‘Rize Up’, a bit of dubstep from Skream and Loefah; Ed Banger’s SebastiAn and his ‘Ross Ross Ross’; a touch of grime via Wiley and Akala feat. Skinnyman; all finished off with some DnB destruction courtesy of Die & Clipz and DJ Zinc. Yet in the end, Scratch Perverts will probably make more sense of it all then your shuffle feature could ever dream of. ’Watch the Ride’ tracklist 1. Scratch Perverts – Watch The Ride (Intro Edit) 2.
