  3. Erasing or 'scratching' a record was a common technique used by DJs to create unique sound effects and blend multiple songs together. This technique gained popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, when DJs began using two or more records at the same time to create seamless transitions between songs. Erasing or 'scratching' a record was an essential tool for DJs to achieve this effect. It involved using a sharp object, such as a needle or a pen, to scratch or etch patterns or designs into the surface of the record. The depth and intensity of the scratches depended on the pressure applied by the DJ and the sharpness of the object used to scratch the record.

Erasing or 'scratching' a record was a vital skill for DJs to master in order to create unique and innovative sound effects that would captivate and engage audiences in the world of DJing and electronic dance music.
