It is with great sadness today I learnt of the passing of David Holmes aka Dee Swift.

Dee is a true legend in the scratch scene and one of the nicest guys you’d ever meet. Although we never met in real life, I spent many an hour chatting scratching and bigger life stuff to dee on msn and he was always quick to offer support with whatever you needed.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Jodi and the rest of his family and extended scratch family.

I leave you with his classic scratch track that was never released, Stretched Animal Skin Drum containing pure scratch genius. RIP DEE! xxx

DJ Qbert recently asked Short-e if he could feature the Studio Scratches question and answer / call and response videos in his training dojo section of his Skratch University.

The training dojo has QnA videos from Q himself,  along with Tyra from Saigon, Killa Jewel and now Short-e for you to practice along to.

Check it out! There’s a great community of scratch DJs over there too:

Shout out to El Dawg for organising the logistics.
