It's been a long time since I updated the web-site (Blog), as you all know I have been on the road and it's been tough trying to keep it up to date.

I am very excited to announce that I have confirmed DJ Disco Wiz for a live phone interview on August 16. We'll talk about his new book, It's just Begun and get his opinion on hip hop today vs yesteryear. I also just spoke to DJ Quest and he has confirmed September 13th as the date for his interview on the Scratch-Cast. AS you all know, DJ Quest was instrumental in getting me back on the scene, so I am very excited to bring you all his new projects and shows he has on his plate.

Make sure to tell a friend about the show, it's only successful because of your help spreading the word!

This Sunday I will be back t talk about the DMC US Finals and just make noise, as I do that best!

Party people, thank you to everyone who tuned in today for our 17th episode of the Scratch-Cast. We paid tribute to the Electro sounds of the 80's and really only touched the surface as there are so many more tracks that we didn't play, but are saving for another program. We're taking a break next week June 14th as I will be laying on the beach in Florida for a long awaited vacation and celebrating my daughter Lil'Ms.Vig's 6th birthday and my wife's Grandmother Mimi's 90th!

For those of you that are waiting on Episodes 9, 13, 14, 15 and 16. I am trying my best to get those edited and posted sometime soon. I will send out an e-mail when I am ready!

You can download episode 17 here!

Until June 21, peace, love and culture first!

Yo! What can I say, you have to love live radio! At least y'all know we are not just playing re-canned play lists or pre-recorded interviews and stuff, sometimes things just go south and south it went. I am not sure I was able to get a clean recording of the program, but I will work on getting something out for this weeks program. Thank you for everyone who tuned in today, I'll make sure to get Crayone back on the Scratch-Cast soon!

Peace, love and culture first!

2009-04-20T18:17:00.000-07:00

We're back from our trip to the beach and ready to play some phat scratch beats. This week we were privileged to grab a piece of DJ Qbert's busy schedule and was able to sit down and talk shop. We touched on everything from his perception on the digital DJ to his mindset when DJ'ing around the world. We appreciate his time and wish him all the best on his future endeavors!

Nocturnal Elements the Scratch-Cast was also honored to be asked to be part of the first DMC VA Battle of 2009 on April 14 at George Mason Univ. Dust One was able to record the entire battle and chop up the top 3 performances and feature them as part of this episode of the Scratch-Cast. Much respect to Christie Z-Pabon for her dedication on the preservation and advancement of our Hip Hop Culture! As Dust One mentioned on the show, hit Tools of War myspace page and get yourself on their newsletter. You'll never miss a hip hop event again!

The Inaugural Episode One

2009-02-07T18:21:00.000-08:00

Nocturnal Elements first show was a hit, we were flooded with e-mails from all around the world shortly after the end of the show! Dust One's Blackberry was beeping all the way back home... It was amazing that after finding out Friday at 4:30 in the afternoon that this slot was available that we pulled the show off. It had it's quirks here and there, but it was fun nonetheless... Dust One and Tech1 (Ray) will be back to rock the internet with Nocturnal Elements. Our web-site is being developed so this blog will take that place of the web-site until it is complete with content and download-able pod-casts of the show in case you miss one.

Again, thank you for everyone who listened from East to West and all the way to the far East in Hong Kong! Send us an e-mail at info@vigco.com to get on our distribution list and send us what you want to hear from music to interviews, we are all ears!
