The Scratchbusters are/were Bioshi, Drugo & Pijei. They won the 2009 IDA Show Category. This excellent album originally released on CD in 2009 has been re-issued on vinyl and digi by Aldebaran Records. In addition to the original album scratch sounds & tools are included for several tracks. This is a really cool snapshot of scratch music from back then & I really dig the sound. The vinyl is limited to 200 copies, I don't expect this to come back around so don't sleep. Links below. Highly Recommended.
My backstory, I looked for this album for years...
I posted the original promo SWF looper back in 2009 (Just added to the Web Looper & apps) . There were a few preview snips from the album on Youtube and Myspace but I wasn't ever able to get a cd copy back then. For years I would periodically search for the album and came up empty every time. I thought it had been lost to time until January 2023 when I finally found a CD copy. It had become a bit of a holy grail for me to have this in the archives. I was all geeked and posted about finally finding it on Instagram, people were interested in hearing the album. I asked around a bit and at best I hoped it might end up on Bandcamp and here we are with a vinyl re-issue + extras. I snagged my copy from Sunday Scratch Shop.
2009 promo looper has been converted from SWF and added to the Web Looper & apps. https://www.tablist.net/looper/scratchbusters-al-cubo-looper
