biography
The Scratch Perverts was founded in 1996 by DJs Tony Vegas, Prime Cuts and Plus One. Before that there was an association of DJs who did not yet use a fixed Crewnname and who sometimes called themselves Scratch Perverts. These were Tony Vegas, DJ Renegade, First Rate, and Mr. Thing. The crew then joined forces with the Allies DJ crew, which consisted of the DJs Prime Cuts, Harry Love, Killa Kela and Plus One. The group gave itself the permanent name Perverted Allies . After the group broke up in early 2000, Tony Vegas formed a new collective with Prime Cuts and Plus One and they gave themselves Scratch Perverts as a permanent name. In 2004 they founded their own label called Scratch Perverts Records. So far, however, only one single has been released about it. The publications that followed were again distributed via external labels. Currently (2019) the Scratch Perverts only consist of Tony Vegas and Prime Cuts.
Title wins
The Scratch Perverts have won several titles in scratch championships, both as a group and independently.
The group has won the DMC Team World Cup twice in a row and won it again two years later as the Perverted Allies. Plus became DMC World Champion in 2001 and Vestax Turntable Champion the year before. Tony Vegas is also a two-time ITF World Scratch Champion.
