DJ Scratch and Sniff, Scotland On Sunday, 24 March 2019
Published in Scotland On Sunday, 24 March 2019 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. See Scotsman.com in association with AIM (Association of Independent Music) DJ Scratch and Sniff Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday 24 March 2019:
Brexit and a talking car are definitely not the first two things which spring to mind as the inspiration for a storming disco-infused house track, but then its creators, DJ Scratch and Sniff are no ordinary musical coupling. Comprising electronica experimentalist Fiona Soe Paing and Brooklyn/Edinburgh-based electro diva Marilyn Carino they met in 2016 when the former was supporting Krautrock legend Michael Rother.The encounter led to the New York émigré reviving the name of her former art collective, followed by a string of DJ sets which see the pair blending the mixing with baking cookies to hand out to the crowd. Their latest track, Disco-Nect was inspired by a computerised voice in Soe Paing’s brothers car, as well as the chaos unfolding around Brexit. Appropriately, it’s being released on 29 March and the following day the duo play the BBC 6 Music Festival in Liverpool.
