I have been a DJ for since 1975, at that time when I started it was scratching as a DJ. Fast Forward to the present. Now today I still scratching which in today's world this is just for Hip Hop back then you could scratch any tune as I do today. That picture used is from the 1990s when it was all analogue, I still have them turntables (I still have all my records) are alive and kicking.
