12 inch vinyl - Skratchlords - Path of Least Resistance

Path of Least Resistance (CNP015)

Rock ya like the LORDS!!!

The Skratchlords have been performing as crew for nearly a decade. These DJ’s have a well earned reputation for pushing the boundaries of scratch music. Risk taking in their freestyle performances as a crew brings about an energy that cannot be rehearsed for... it is only made possible by their collective experience working together and individually.

The Path Of Least Resistance was designed as a show-vinyl for the crew's live performances, and has served them well over their many adventures around the world, as well as selling out in multiple colour pressings over the years as a favourite skratch tool in the scene.

Like any weapon you might forge for a battle, it’s crafted with the finest of materials. Symatic collaborated with The Vinyl Factory's etch-artist Leighton Harris to design a unique etching that surrounds the playable tracks on the record.

Side A is ultrapitch ready, put together with 133 BPM loops. There are 9 deadly vocal laden scratch loops, followed by a section of scratchy goodies with hidden nuggets all over. A drum track and synth bass tone with a lock groove make this more than a battle weapon, but a musical tool as well.

Side B has been edited at 166 BPM to work best at regular speed on a turntable. It kicks off with 5 scratch loops, followed by punchy drum loops taken from the “Janes Cumin Home Soon” EP. Next comes a section of samples to get creative with: guitars, horror-film screams, comical interludes, with no shortage of excellent scratch material. The end of this side has a collection of lock-groove tones to get down and dirty with. This record has been years in the making, with many international SKRATCHLORDS affilliates contributing sounds and ideas.

Side A: 133 BPM SKIPLESS SCRATCH SAMPLES (Ultrapitch)
