Scratcha DVA, with monikers DVA [Hi:Emotions], DVA and more recently Scratchclart is an electronic musician, DJ and record producer. Often associated with labels such as DVA Music and Hyperdub Records, the record producer has a back catalogue spanning six albums, with countless EPs, singles and production credits.
Since 2018 alone, the London-based artist has released 9 EPs and an album as part of the DRMTRK series, which is heavily influenced by South African club music but still sonically rooted in the UK club spectrum. The EPs saw collaborative tracks with producers from Durban S.A., such as Citizen Boy and Griffit Vigo. To date, the EPs have been picked up as one of the most critically acclaimed projects of DVA's career.
In between the DRMTRK projects, he formed the 'Interlude' trilogy albums. These were released on the artist’s one of two record labels: Allyallrecords. Inspired by album skits and voicemail recordings, the Intro's, Interludes and Outro’s albums are a collection of short tracks that give listeners a thought-provoking yet comical and nostalgic feel.
