Scratch Bandits Crew is an inventive French band known for their dynamic blend of turntablism, electronic music, and hip-hop. Their work has consistently pushed the boundaries of what can be achieved with turntables and samplers, earning them a spot in the vibrant underground music scene. Formed in Lyon in 2006, the Crew consists of accomplished turntablists and producers who artfully scratch, mix, and manipulate sounds to create an eclectic journey for their listeners. Their music is characterized by a collage of samples, beats, and an unmistakable groove that makes their sound both sophisticated and accessible.

The Scratch Bandits Crew has carved out a niche through a series of releases that showcase their versatility and skill. Their discography, which includes projects like "Stereo 7" and the ambitious "Tangram Series," reflects the evolving nature of their craft. The "Soundboy EP" signaled an edgy, vibrant direction, while "31 Novembre" and "En Petites Coupures..." add depth and narrative to their body of work. Their ability to remix tracks, such as on "Betty (Scratch Bandits Crew Remix)," exemplifies their approach to reshaping existing music into something wholly new and invigorating. Participating in projects like "The Groove Sessions, Vol. 5" has also illustrated their collaborative spirit and solidified their reputation within the groove-laden realms of modern electronic and hip-hop music.
