“The Concept behind this series is to break the normal confines of djing and push the envelope further, with the interaction of the performer and the track being broken down and re-built from scratch.
In this first set, Djs Marvel and Kutcorners run through a slew of R&B and Rap tracks seamlessly fusing in new sounds and elements to remake them in their own vision. Kutcorners supplys the heavy low end, with plenty of synth bass, and MPC pad abuse. While Marvel handles lead duty, taking on keyboard melody lines and cutting up vocals on turntables running through tracks with ease and blending them together in key.”

Impeccable design and packaging. Notice the tail of the Y die cut used as a thumb tab to open box… The chocolates are just as nice.
