How to Orbit Scratch | DJ Dirty Digits | Watch And Learn

Originated by DJ Disk, the Orbit (also known as the two-click flare) Scratch is built upon the Click Scratch. It is characterized by double tapping the fader from the open position while keeping your hand glued to the record.
In this edition of Watch And Learn, Dirty Digits breaks down how to do an Orbit Scratch in three ways. By starting slowly at first, then gradually raising the speed of the scratches, and finally demonstrating over a beat.

today's learning scratchers are so lucky! I remember seeing craze in london doing some weird hand movement on the fader which looked like he was pinching the fader and getting hella cuts.... off I go home and practice something that I didn't even know what it was or what I should be doing, until one day I could grab the fader and produce 3 sounds AKA pinch orbits. Now people can stumble across videos like this and have it broken down to molecules. Learning for myself has given me a very solid base to develop, but I've got mad love for sharing the knowledge too. :)

i started last year and with all the tutorials its of course easier to learn but it still requires some skills and of course passion

[@P.Gillett]

yeaah, no shit, and back in the day some djs would even cover the labels of their records so nobody knew what they were playing. now there are apps to identify tracks!

[@itiswhatitis4821]

@@P.Gillett you're so damn right!!!!

[@conall5434]

@@P.Gillett and even if you found out the record they were playing you would still have to find a copy

[@hitchdj]

1 click , 3 click and 4 clicks can be "orbited" to. Orbit in scratch mean that u do the same thing at the forward as the reverse, in the same rythme. transform can be orbit to, and the basic baby scratch is an orbit one to. Peace

[@nnguyen3482]

love these, you guys should do more.

[@djbobbyd3985]

Dirty D, awesome tutorials as always... I know this was done a couple of yrs ago. If you get the chace can you show a video on how to do the pinching motion when doing the 2 click flare/orbit? There are no tutorials on the pinching of the fader. Since you are the best on breaking things down, I think a lot of us would love to see it done. Thx Bobby D

Whats good my ninja, still love these videos, & still learning from these videos homeslice. Any advice on some other great places to get some really good instrumentals with great bass lines for scratch practice my ninja? Hope your doin well, thanks buddy...👍🙏😎🔥💯🎶🎧

[@solonin.vitalii]

BOOM!

[@LoochMindReader]

I was always taught an 'Orbit' is any scratch that is the same on the backwards movement than it is on the forward movement... The problem becomes that nearly any scratch can then be an orbit...so this would be a 2 click flare orbit

[@Mr_Yespa]

Sounds like a double click flare right?

[@StingrayOfficial]

You can also do this with a 2 finger "crab" style hand movement, sounds a little different, practice both!

[@rollonfood]

Is there a technical reason I see so many turntabilists using all but there index fingers on the disc? I like to use my first two fingers, but I don't wanna get in bad habits

[@Dj_rueboi]

before learning this someone would have to learn a flare first?

[@marvinterrell8443]

Actually Cash Money did the flare scratch on Ugly People Be Quiet back in 87-88 I believe. Go listen to it.

[@maccagrabme]

Which part? I think you might be confusing it with transforming as Cash had a very fast transformer, almost like a twiddle, maybe he had that technique back then because no one else was transforming that fast unless using a switch.

[@Devestato72]

class act

[@ulisesgv1977]

i cant pinch fast. i cheat with twiddling, almost sounds the same.

[@DjMethod82]

What is the name of the beat? Nice tutorial btw

[@artpena3266]

What is it?

[@juvailpecson6235]

How to teach your fader hand to be fast like that!?

[@Levi5th]

Tap your head and rub your belly at the same time.

[@pamplemoussemk2]

And make circles with your foot ;)

[@chrispiercy3384]

Hey there, so why is that not a transformer scratch? Noob question time!? Stay safe🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@therimandos2924]

because it starts with an open fader unlike transformers you start with close

[@justinabata6257]

Took me 5 years practice.. Probably same for any other instrument.. That is 5 years in bedroom.. That ain't nothing when taken outside..

[@METTI1986LA]

i thought dj flare invented the 2 click flare

[@memolibir]

Ich bin nur hier,weil Azad dafür 6 Monate gebracht hat,um sie zu lernen

[@ignitore]

The strange thing is orbit at ultra speed can be heard like a crab...
