Today ArtistWorks, Inc announces the Qbert Skratch University has opened its virtual doors to the enthusiasm of Skratch DJs worldwide. DJ Qbert has maintained his leading edge stature in the field of Hip Hop turntablism and dominated the field of DJ competitions and musical skratch advancement for over 20 years. DJ Qbert now presides over the groundbreaking online Qbert Skratch University that embraces the latest ArtistWorks' innovation in video technology and global distance learning.
Qbert presents a comprehensive video curriculum online, from the most basic skratching techniques to the advanced “battle tactics” that made him the 3-time DMC Champion. QSU members use ArtistWorks’ proprietary VMS (Video/Media Management System) to send DJ Qbert a video homework assignment they've recorded during their practice session. Qbert reviews the assignment and then posts a response video on the site. The Student Video and Qbert’s response are uniquely paired on QSU as “Master Classes” for the entire community to learn from, giving members unfettered access to a True Master. The entire student community learns by way of video exchanges with an Artist that is otherwise inaccessible to most students throughout the world. This ArtistWorks learning platform brings the student directly to the teacher by using leading edge video technology and makes QSU the most comprehensive and influential Skratch education program available to DJs today.
Now, through the ArtistWorks's unique social network in place at QSU, a worldwide, passionate body of skratch DJs share their turntable tricks and techniques, experiences, performance videos and photos through their personalized Student Page allowing peers to interact with each other on a regular basis.
DJ Qbert says “It’s cool that Skratching has so many fans around the world and we can all be in one place now and learn from each other no matter where we live.”
DJ Qbert and ArtistWorks’s collaboration firmly reaches beyond the video management technology to unify the field of Skratch DJs to one central place, the Qbert Skratch University.
