To promote Slussen, a [DJ turntable application](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amuni-studio) for smartphones, [Urbanears](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zinken) teamed up with advertising agency Uncle Grey to create the Scratch Poster.

Hung up across Copenhagen, Denmark as part of an [interactive flyer campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamies-treats), the posters feature acrylic ridges in the shape of a traditional vinyl record. When scratched at with fingernails with different speeds and pressure application, these ridges reverberate with authentic musical sounds that a DJ can create through scratching the records on his or her turntable.

The Urbanears Scratch Poster was successful in encouraging musically interested consumers to interact with the ad campaign and get a feel for how much fun it is to create their own music while on the go.
