Biography

DJ Flare (born Sean Moran) is an American turntablist. He has been a scratch DJ since 1983 with many vinyl releases and was a member of the turntablist group the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, appearing in many of their Turntable TV videos and DJ Qbert's animated film Wave Twisters. He released battle records under the pseudonym "DJ Butchwax" on the Thud Rumble and Dirtstyle Records labels. He also created the Flare Scratch, a scratching technique in which a sound is split in two parts leaving limitless sound possibilities to be created. He released a Scratch DVD called Magnifrying Glass. He is also credited for creating the modern day style of Scratch Flare Scratching. Notable mentions, Flare was also a member of Sound Odyssey, Bullet Proof Scratch Hamsters and N.C.A "no clickers allowed" DJ crew and has worked with such music artists as Run-DMC, Third Eye Blind, El' Stew, Buckethead, Moonraker, MCM & The Monster and singer Mike Patton from Faith No More amongst others.
