On November 28th Scratch are celebrating in true musical style with their 13 1/3 year birthday party at The Big Chill House!
And to celebrate with us we have a very special guest flying in from LA via the very cool Stones Throw label.....one of the worlds most renowned DJ's, the one and only J.Rocc from the Beat Junkies!!
One of the original turntablists, J. Rocc founded the Beat Junkies in 1992 with Melo-D and Rhettmatic, but has done just as much on his own as in a group setting.
He began DJing in the mid-'80s with California group PSK. Soon after forming the Beat Junkies (which included core member Babu plus future stars Shortkut and D-Styles) the crew became a seminal force in the rise of instrumental hip-hop.
In addition to numerous mixtapes and his own production for Stones Throw releases, (including classics such as his funky 'Gotta Have Freedom' Remix) J. Rocc has been the DJ for Madlib's live shows since the early 2000's, was the 3rd member of Jaylib (Madlib & J Dilla) during the group's live events and collaborated with Madlib on Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6: A Tribute to J Dilla.
J. Rocc is currently working on a solo album for Stones Throw.

Joining J. Rocc to host the night will be resident MC, Tukka, who always adds even more fire to the night with his electric mic skills!!
Not forgetting our 13 1/3 residents who have been Dj'ing this event since it's inception back in 1996, Matt Smooth, Lyley, DJ Biznizz, Richy Pitch and Tomski.
Expect to see plenty of heads coming to celebrate with Scratch, B-Boys in action and possibly some free give always including a special Scratch Addict Tee especially made for the Birthday !!
Come celebrate with us !!
Scratch Crew....
