Last November we were joined by producers Shy One and Scratcha DVA at The Glove That Fits in North London for a truly insightful and funny conversation. The pair delved deep into Scratcha’s career – starting in the early 2000s when he worked as an engineer at a studio frequented by the likes of Wiley, Kano and Skepta, touching on his popular morning radio show ‘Grimey Breakfast’ on Rinse FM, and also chatting about his output on Hyperdub and his own labels DVA Music and Allyallrecords.
Scratcha then talks us through the creation of one of his recent remixes ‘Dirty Cash (Reprise)’ with Karen Nyame KG and previews an unreleased track featuring Lady Lykez, Logan, Jammz and Dizzle Kid.
