Scratcha DVA should be no stranger to fans of London’s premier underground station Rinse FM. He’s the voice behind the Grimey Breakfast Show and he’s a badman producer who’s unleashed some of grime’s anthems like the seminal Nasty Nast Nasty, Bullet A Go Fly and Kill All A Dem. We can chat all you want about the man’s grime, but it’s the Funky bits that he’s getting a lot of deserved praise for these days! I caught up with him for a series of silly questions, so there we go:

1. Crackhouse, Powerhouse, Funkstep. Where did all this come from?

Crack House is somefing Zinc has been working on for a while, I like it a lot but I heard you have to smoke an ounce of crack before he considers bringin u in.
Yeah Power House is a series of free mix cds and downloads I do with diffrent types of House on. I will be mixing Vol4 soon. Funkstep WAS the name of Roskas new album.

2. Which CDs would you really miss if I came round and CLEARED! your CD rack?

Bruv! I know what that’s like. My ex disposed of all my music once. Dubplates an evrything.
If u done a Tempa T in my house I would most miss my classic Brandy album or my Foreign Exchange album.

3. What would everyone wear if it was up to you to decide a Rinse HQ dress code?

I would make evryone wear boob tubes, Tu tu’s and wet look leggings. Especially Marcus Nasty and Geeneus to bring out there feminine side abit more.

4. Top 5 specs on the market right now?

BRUV! I’ve found a new shop for specs. So watch dis space. But the 1s on Calvin Harris’s album cover I still can’t find and Rhiannas black ones. They’re sick!

5. When’s the Natty riddim out and what’s on the flip may I ask?

Natty will hopefully be out on Hyperdub Dec/Jan. Problem is my G5 blew up so I’m struggling to get a b side finished and even finishing the final mix of Natty. Kode gave me a deadline which actually ends in 2days. Oh shit!
