The exquisitely slow dj project Scratch'nSniff "mixes and bakes" ambient soundscapes, while at the same time mixing and baking delicious cookies for the people who come to hear them.

Scratch 'n Sniff is two women: Serena Jost of Switzerland and German native Cassis Birgit Staudt, both now living in New York. Unlike most dj's, these two have the utmost respect for the source of intellectual property-- a noble model for the dj crowd and for the digital realm in general!

The dj duo fosters relationships with a small group of innovative composers and solely combines their source material with public domain sounds from nature, the city, or real-time sonic material in the immediate vicinity of their set. The result is a lovely ambient mix that, along with the smell of fresh-baked cookies, creates an inviting atmosphere of comfort and slow-ness.
