Seattle's Joe Martinez brings old-school skills into a contemporary world every time he gets behind his beloved turntables as Scratchmaster Joe to unleash his wildly unpredictable sets. The renowned turntablist has competed in DJ battles all over the world, and his workmanlike philosophy towards DJ culture has found Scratchmaster Joe hosting a multitude of DJ nights around town over the years, currently inciting good times at Capitol Hill's Nacho Borracho every Friday night. His mix for Midnight in a Perfect Wild features his own live remixes and exposes his passion to keep the art of scratching alive, all while jumping genres and different generations with a gleeful abandon.
