In this interview we talked with Ramsey Anderson, aka DJ RamDog about his game show "Think You Can DJ."

How did the idea for the“Think You Can DJ” game show come about?

In 1995, while I was working at my first DJ gig I thought about ways to get DJs to experiment so the audience would get more out of the experience. And also I wanted to showcase how amazing these DJs are. My first thought was, 'how about we make a mix while blindfolded?' But then I immediately thought, 'oh that is way too hard.' So then I grabbed a pencil and a napkin drew the turntable but turned it into a "Wheel of Fortune" with genres of music inside the disc: Techno, Gothic, Industrial, Ska, 80s, Hip Hop.

Dj Hypnotize is putting together a festival event called SkratchFest. Taking place on Feb. 27th 2016, SkratchFest will be celebrating the DJ and showcasing the Art of Turntablism and Skratching. We caught up with him recently to find out more:

WHY HAVE YOU BEEN SO DRAWN TO SKRATCHING?

Dj Hypnotize: I love it so much, for me it's therapeutic. I love the way music has the power to move people. Skratching is beautiful and a pure form of expression. I like all the endless possibilities and the fact that we are still writing history draws me to help create and spread awareness about it and share my gifts of music with the world... I've been Skratching for almost 20 years and my style is improving everyday. I don't plan on retiring anytime soon so be on the lookout!

The Legendary Mix Master Mike was one of Qbert's original mentors back when he first started skratching at age 15. The two have collaborated quite a bit since then and are now currently working on a new project called Channel Zektar. They took some time at the studio to record a new Lesson on "Honesty & Sincerity." Mike opens up about how he’s able to so deftly channel his emotions and release them onto the turntables as free flowing expression. Being Honest and Sincere in your skratching will allow you not just play the instrument, but become the instrument. Don’t miss it in the Skratch Theory section!
