you can scratch over trance, house or techno, it just has to sound good. Try to grab Eddie Halliwell's sets and xek out for yourself!don't follow rules really, create your own style! ;)

Try looking into the funky breaks genre. It seems to me that most of the tricks and scratches made famous by various dj's through the years can easily be used in breaks mixing. I really can't go into more detail but definitely look into em as a scratching alternative.

Donald Glaude, tech-house dj who scratches a LOT in his sets. to see him live is simply awesome. :D
