The Scritch

Birthed in a fiery caldera of an unnamed volcanic island in the South Pacific, The Scritch was raised on a strict diet of raw tubers, edible flowers and coconut water. Showing a clear affinity for heavy syncopated beats from a young age, he was schooled in the ancient art of the thunder drum by a blind shaman on an adjacent island. Fast forward several decades and we find The Scritch crisscrossing the globe, a neopagan hunter and gather of sonic artifacts that are crafted into a unique and memorable experience for the hungry, writhing masses. Equally at home in the booths of swanky clubs, on the floors of the filthiest warehouses and the wide open fields of massive outdoor festivals, The Scritch delivers the goods.
