Catalogue: Borderless: "Vol. 7: Rockin' the Barricades (selected by DJ Scratchy)" - Various Artists - Piranha Jubilee Series

JUBILEE Vol. 7 features London's DJ SCRATCHY. Never content to rest on laurels or well-trodden formulas, Scratchy embraced the punk ethos to span three decades, from tour dj with the Clash to another band at the forefront of their time, gypsy punks Gogol Bordello.

His international club, concert, festival and radio sets travel through multi-faceted soundscapes, from London to Louisiana, Kingston to Colombia, Bucharest to Bamako. Check his CD 'Scratchy Sounds: Ska, Dub, Roots & Reggae Nuggets' on Trojan and his radio show, 'The Rock and The Roll of The World', on Wirelessfm.net.

Scratchy's PIRANHA selection echoes the shtetl and the nile delta, the bullring and bollywood. It resounds to the beat of trenchtown, roma wedding parties and lower east side bars. This fish has teeth. The power of the music transcends barriers and borders. Join the party. Rock the barricades!
