X-Ecutioners
i recently started listening to these guys and really like their sound. i'm not too familiar with hip hop/scratching stuff, can anyone recommend some stuff in a similar vein?

Sorry, can't really help ya, but I know a lot of the old school rap (circa 1985ish) was loaded with scratching DJs.
What album did you get? I've been looking to purchase one of the X albums, but I don't even know if they have more than one. Hahahaha. I'm so out of the loop.

I've seen the X-Men (their former name) live twice and they blew me away both times. They are simply amazing. If you have a chance, go see them - although one of the guys quit a while back.
Check out Q-Bert or Mixmaster Mike (or any of the Invisbl Scratch Pikuls). Their CDs, "Wave Twisters" and "Anti-Theft Device" (respectively) aren't bad. DJ Faust is pretty good, too.
If you want an animated audio-visual treat, get Q-Bert's "Wave Twisters" DVD - it's really trippy. I think you can only get it through his website. I got an autographed copy from there for about $25 or so. I'm still waiting for the "Scratch" documentary to come out.
I dunno, I really like the scratching and mixing, especially live, but sometimes the music doesn't translate as well on disc.

Bought the X album last night. It pretty much blew me away. The tracks are a complete mix between old school sounding jams and new rock/rap mixes.
I hope to find more of their stuff online somewhere.

Invisibl Skratch Piklz your search should stop and end there. As was mentioned. You can find all kinds of old demo stuff ( I have a Qbert Atrak tape that kills any of the DMC stuff)
Also look for some Roc Riada solo stuff.
And if you can find Kid Koala's demo its a weird name (I'll post it if I find it) but it has the track "I wanna rock"
