Things are moving forward for this new digital device. And don't forget the poll on the e-scratch site.

The World Series Turntable Championship (WSTC) is officially off the starting blocks. And this year it's bigger and better than ever! 8)

---

Technics have finally released specs and images for the forthcoming SL-DZ1200 CD deck and SH-MZ1200 mixer.

Big up to Lee at www.dancefrontdoor.co.uk for the heads up.

First spotted at NAMM, skratchworx has recieved official information and pictures of the next generation PDX decks. Read on people...

---

So far, I'm aware of 2 short movies showing off the newest gear - one from the guys over at Zone-Seven, the other from DJ Shy.

Props to 30 Cal for the DJ shy link. 8)

---

Rane have announced Serato Scratch Live - a product very similar to Stanton's Final Scratch. See - I told you it was the year for scratch controllers. 8)

---

We've know about this for nearly a week now but it's appeared on the Stanton forum so we figure it's OK to share with you guys - Final Scratch is finally making it to Windows.

---

This is about as upfront as it gets. The event isn't even over and I've been sent a link to audio from the Vestax QFO night in LA - still happening as I post this message.

Check out www.digitalbombing.com. Big up Dj Shelter for the info. 8)

---

Courtesy of turntabletv.com, these images show what should be the finalised design for the QFO.

---

Yep - It's another pre NAMM announcement - this time from Tascam. A scratch controller for it's CD decks - makes for interesting reading.

---

Numark's PR department have been busy. News just hit the skratchworx inbox about a whole load of new products. A portable deck (PT01), a USB mixer (DXM01), a dual DVD deck (DVD01) plus updated info on the 5000FX mixer and CDX. Some other less turntablist specific releases as well.

---

Whilst not strictly a turntablists mixer, Denon have officially announced the DN-X1500 mixer. It's the ideal mixer for you Denon 3000 and 5000 owners.

UPDATE - NYC DJ Big Al is the first person on the planet to take delivery of a Denon X1500.

---

There's now a news archive page - the link is directly above the top news story.

---

2003 is dead - bring on 2004! Only 4 months old and skratchworx has already made a big impression on the scene. Read on to see how you can help to shape it's future. :D

---

The site update section has gone. In it's place a poll section. Take a look, have a play and leave your comments.

---

As promised, the 2nd part of the skratchworx review of the Denon DN-S3000 - this time from Deft.

---

---

Some of you have experienced problems with adding your email addresses to comments. This has now been fixed. :D

---

Have your say in the development of this new digital device. There's a short poll to take part in and a better idea of it's capabilities.

---

ProfessorBX's review of the Numark PPD01 is now online.

---

The long awaited mixers have now hit the Pioneer site along with new pictures and manuals.

---

Numark have sent skratchworx a brand new image and release details of the much wanted CDX... :D

---

And that includes every last bit of vinyl as well. Read on for the full turntablists worst nightmare... :cry:

---

I think I've found a bug with this news script I use. I think I've pinned it down to adding new stories beginning with "skratchworx". Repairs have been made - holler if you come across anything unusual...

---

Bristol was the venue for the final QFO tour date in the UK. Skratchworx paid a visit and was suitably impressed. And fell down some dodgy steps and got pissed wet through as well...

---

DMC World finals 2003 DVD's and videos are available from the DMC Store.

---

Oh my god... I just checked my web stats and it makes interesting reading...

---

Over the next few days, the news page will change. It's becoming big (that's good right?) but can take a while to download. So It'll slowly be moving towards a short story/full story format so you can pick and choose what you want to read. Also for people who like to link, you'll be able to link directly to a story rather than the whole news page. And probably at some point I'll start an archive as well.

Just bear with me over the coming days - it's still useable but perhaps a little rough around the edges.

Peace

Not the first but another glowing review for veteran turntablist and all round old schooler (yes - he's even older than me) Beej and his new fangled Slikmats.
