		<description><![CDATA[This is a great little trick I like to do with Serato ScratchLive. It can involve a little bit of juggling and looping but it doesn&#8217;t really have to, so long as you can drop a record in on time you can have endless fun with this.

Preparation
In order to do this you will need Serato [...]]]></description>

When I first saw the autobahn scratch on Skratchlopedia Breaktanica I just thought was a nice combo, I never thought it would open up the doors to so many interesting new scratches for me.

		<description><![CDATA[The autobahn scratch is a scratch DJ Rafik came up with and became well know with the release of Qbert&#8217;s Skratchlopedia Breaktanica DVD. On the video he demonstrates the scratch both fast and slow, after many people debating the subject a video was then released on the internet of Rafik showing that they were actually [...]]]></description>
