| Description: |
This is the follow-up release to Nick’s highly successful “Soundcraftsman v1” scratch tool. This time around Nick tries his hand at creating a unique “break” record.
You could say “Broken” is a break record, but there is a bit more to it than meets the eye. The B Side of this record features four instrumental tracks that express the essence of what a “break” really is. It’s all about the drums and bass, that raw, undressed, virgin funk that is the basis of a great song. Use these breaks to practice scratching, beat juggling or even to practice creating songs by adding melodies on top.
If that isn’t enough, Nick also included loads of sounds to scratch. Side A features skipless drums and scratches plus over 3 minutes of unique vocal phrases. The phrases he selected aren’t your average battle sentences (although there are plenty of those), they can be used in songs and choruses in a wide variety of musical genres.
Lastly, for all you scratch maniacs out there, Nick came up with a unique concept for you to practice with. It’s a “Tempo Track” that starts at 66BPM and goes up to 130BPM and back down to 66BPM. This allows you to practice scratching over changing tempos at extremes (really fast and really slow), which will increase your musical chops.
This release is being manufactured, distributed and sold through www.extensiveresearch.com. For more information on how to purchase, visit their site or email them. |
