Greetings!
Today's post is a set of videos displaying the skills of a DJ and music producer called Skratch Bastid. Born Paul Murphy, in Nova Scotia, Skratch Bastid is becoming increasingly recognized in the music community. Whether you specifically enjoy the sounds of mixing and scratching records or not, I think you'll have to acknowledge the immense talent and corresponding mindfulness involved in his routines. You can see both his focus as well as his joy throughout every routine he presents.
Sit back, smile, and listen. Happy Friday!
This first video is the first routine I saw of his work--a remix of Pink Floyd and Parliament Funkadelic. He calls it his "'Another Brick in the Wall/ Flashlight' routine." If you like either or both of the songs, I think you'll be surprised and impressed at how well he brings them together. Take a listen.

The next one was posted for Valentine's Day this year. It's a remix of The Doobie Brothers' "Long Train Running," called "Long Train Runnin." This one is pretty cool as well. Check it out.
