Yo oldest of DJ brehs. I released a 7" with my homie, 1 side is skipless scratch samples, the other is skipless drum scratch/juggle loops. No ahh/fresh. Brief demo of some of the samples: 15% off for you muh fukkaz only with the promo code FkGabeSaint, expires in a week. Shop is https://vekked.myshopify.com/ EDIT: also, can't guarantee this but both European orders so far let me upgrade from 8-12 week shipping to 10 day shipping at no cost. So if you pick the cheap snail option it will likely arrive much sooner.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo................phew! Lozzzzzz. Is it okay if i just spin two round on my nips whilst just cutting the other, cos I've not practiced juggling for like 15 years? I'll DM u hot vidz of it!

I think TTW is gonna stock some, but I'm not positive because we were just hit up for a pretty cool partnership/distribution offer that might take most/all of the remaining copies... Unfortunately Canadian only. So I have out on distributors for a week or 2 to see if that's happening for sure. Oh I forgot to say MINIMUM ORDER 100 COPIES, I'll just add them to your account... 3 is fine as long as you film a 3 record juggle with them.

I like collecting 7" records as they are nice and small. I never actually play them.

Yo, i'll grab you a copy if you want to pay us back when you get bux paul cos i was gonna grab me and ed one, nay bother pal! Will i be looked upon cruelly if i grab three copies Ja-Vekked-ke?

Think Ive successfully convinced them that "Simon Says" needs to be done Waiting to hear back on the other tracks I suggested

I think it's time for another scratch beat battle, which might as well then roll into a scratch battle with the resulting beats. Bear with me while I try and explain this and if I fail with words I've done a demo to explain myself and get the ball rolling. Ever since I first got an MPC and started chopping up records, apart from sampling old records to make my own beats, I've also been chopping up other people's beats and trying to rearrange them. I only did it originally as a learning experience but as I got a little more competent it became a fun way to quickly make a new beat to practice cutting to. I've always thought of this technique as the 'MPC remix' because of it's origins, although I haven't actually done one on an MPC for years. There are no definitive rules, other than restricting myself to just the instrumental I've chosen for source material. Then I try to flip it by chopping and rearranging the chops, with a few effects to expand the limited sound pallet. Personally, I love it when you end up with something that still has obvious bits of the original but in a new context. Only having someone else's beat for samples has big limitations of course, but a scratch beat only needs to be simple... plus, if it was too easy it wouldn't be a challenge anyway . I dunno, sometimes it feels sort of liberating to not get too involved and just grab some sounds, find a groove and bash out a quick, simple beat. Here's one I made to kick things off. Starting with this beat/instrumental I made this Erm, yes... So choose a hip hop beat you didn't make or have stems to and try and flip it into a new 2 min scratch beat - how far you want to take it is up to you, twist it out of all recognition if you fancy! Post your entries here and please at least name the beat you've chopped or post if possible. As before, all submitted beats will be used for a scratch battle and the beat used in the winning scratch video will by default be the best scratch beat and therefore, winner. You've got three weeks (Wednesday 11th April) to submit, which is quite a long time for what's meant to be more of a quick instinctive process, BUT... because of the format for deciding the winner I think you've got more chance of winning by posting more than one beat

Only if you can make prints of that for me to sell on my site.

You guys gonna go far. The show I saw you guys at was LIT AF!! I reckon you lot could go into an old granny home and get the floor jumping.

He would have made a perfect walker texas ranger meme Dirk

bosh

dope stuff. but no ahh fresh? what on EARTH do you expect us to scratch with???????

Good call!

You just wouldn't let me palm this off on Dubba, huh? The original song might be pretty nice for a brass band though. haha sorry i didnt realise it was a set-up but yeah sometimes peeps think theres a grey-area, something along the lines of "it's ok in hip-hop" or some other fucked-up "post racial society" shit.... but it's just not reality. Nah, it wasn't a set-up really - that was just in response to your post. I'm sure, it would not the smartest move to use the original cuts. I just included the song because Red Clay lends itself to a being played by a brass ensemble, has some nice double time parts and because lead sheets of the chords and melody can be easily found. So the suggestion was based mostly on the beat and not to get anyone in trouble. But yeah, it's probably not what Dubba asked for ( "seminal music that had scratching in")

Dirk, you gotta do something like that given you already have the logo. Maybe an Austin skyline or other notable feature, corny ass car and some costumes. You know you got the costumes too, player.

A brass band cover of this will rock the spot

I just realised I made one of these a couple of years ago. I'd jsut installed the imaschine2 update on the bus on the way to meet jimmy and jack and chile in galway, was super hyped about making beats with it cos you could now sample straight out of your itunes library on the phone which wasnt possible with version 1.... so this was the first thing i sampled in: and I made a skratch beat:
