Darth Fader, Butch Wax, Skratchy Seal and The Unknown Dirtstyler combine on one record. Lots of unskippable sentences, tones, and percussion pieces on one side, four beats on the other. Cool throwback Dirtstyle sleeve too. -the mgmnt

Long-awaited. One side has crazy-ass beats that take some gettin used to, but that's what we expect from the piklz. The other side is probably the most comprehensive skratch noise library ever assembled. You get over 150 sounds new and old, but...
expand review the reason why we really like this, is that the sounds are organized in usable combinations. Ever wish you had an "aaahhh" after a certain sound, well it's probably on here. One of our best selling records right now. -the mgmnt

Number one reason to buy this record: Toadman acapella freestyle!!! Comedy aside, another Flare sure shot, he's one of the most talented electro beat producers around. He's almost signatured the dark basement, turntable tv sound. 4 lengthy beats, one with a locked...
expand review groove at the end. Skratch noise selection is quite extensive with a large VIDEO GAME noises section. I'm not up with all the new shit, but I did hear some Pac Man and Missile Command in there. Also features one skip-proof skratch sentence, and a longer skratch sentence with an old-school hip-hop theme. Recommended. -the mgmnt

This graphic is not the best thing to look at after watching The Hills Have Eyes I & II. They're all about mutant hicks that go around slashing innocent people stuck in the desert, so you can imagine if you caught this...
expand review two-headed freak in the wrong mood what could happen. Speaking of sequels, this is the follow-up to the essential scratch record Hee Haw Breaks! Unfortunately, there's no Flare beats; all the breaks are kinda downtempo-ish and are produced by newcomers DJ Lonely, Insted and Matt Bloom. Four beats total, one scratch track that you can skip (sounds like a "what do you think of my scratch file?" post on the D-Styles board circa 2000) and a scratch sentence by Flare & Lonely. Yipee ki yay muddaphuckas. -C'mish

Just as classic as foot breaks. Lots of memorable moments here. The "my uzi weighs a ton" beat never fails to make the heads nod. Fundamental skratch phrases (uh-uh-break-ahh-there-it-is). Gotta have the wheels before you get the girl. I don't really like...

First volume in Qbert's Breaktionary which gives you over 60 funk breaks one after another, at the same tempo on one record. It's a no brainer- no more carrying tons of crates to a jam, just grab doubles, rock out and get...

Q-Berts follow-up to SuperSealed. Features 12 new unskippable skratch combinations on side one. Side 2 starts with a beep-ahh unskippable sentence followed by an extended loop track of Gil Scott Herons "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised." The next track is a...

The Needle Thrashers series has been going on for over a decade now, and shows no sign of stopping. For volume "Omega," you get four more ridiculously filthy, lo-fi beats to scratch to till your arms fall off. The tempos range from...
expand review really fast (almost electro) to really slow (for that double time shit) and two that are in between. Everyone loves rocking to the double time these days (admittedly, so do I) but you're not even close to being a master till you can do all your cuts at all tempos. You also get a few lines of handy unskippable scratch sentences with your standard "funky freshes" and "aaahs." Another excellent tool for the all night scratch session. (Note: pretty scary cover, but still nowhere near the level of STD breaks - yeowch!) -snackmaster

The Piklz bring you their second experiment into skratch proof technology. And theyve tightened it up. The shit really works. One side is entirely skip-proof. We tested it and when the needle jumps, the sound placement is very accurate. On this side,...
expand review there are: 11 skip proof skratch sections ranging from beep-ahhh to more complex combos; 1 skip proof drum section, 1 dual tone (2 tones that can be separated into left-right channel), and one locked beat. The flip features 3 beats and one bass tone. Lookout for the neck snap beat used for Toadmans rap on Pharaohs of Funk. Also a blazing electro beat you'll also recognize. Shit is tighter than (you thought I was goin to say virgins pussy of a young pig, didnt you?). -the mgmnt

A sequel to the greatest skipless scratch album of all time. If you don't have a beat up copy of the original Super Seal within arm's reach of your tables, and call yourself a turntablist, you're kinda FRONTING. Every scratch DJ I...
expand review know has at least one, if not two. Number two brings you all your favorite scratch essentials in the same skipless formula: "aahs", "freshes", "making me itch," and tons of new lines for endless sessions. Also includes a long play beat (at least 3/4 of one side) of a jazzy funk loop perfect for smooth or double time scratch sessions. -C'mish
