Submitted by Fusion on 3.59pm, Tue 14th Apr 2009
Youngsta got his name because he started DJing as a little yout. One of the handful of DJs playing dubstep on Rinse when it was still a niche, he is also witnessing the genre his name is associated with spreading out to unforeseen audiences
When did you start playing on Rinse?
Do you know what I can't actually remember, there must be some information about it that's true but I don't actually know. I think I was about 20.
So does that mean you were one of the first people playing dubstep on there?

Scratcha is famous for his mouth. That's why Rinse decided to give him a breakfast show. And he has lived up to his words; he even once got man to eat a slug so that he could MC live for us. You probably know some of the tunes he makes as DVA, including grimey 'Keep Up' and funky 'I'm Leaving'.
Don't you mind getting up early? Not at all. Do you know what the response the show gets that's what makes me get up!
