DJ PAYPERCUTTS - THE BEAT MIX VOL 1: 60 MINUTES OF CUTTS

DJ Paypercutts – One half of Too Terrorble Tablists crew, proud Melburn representative and overall stubborn, rap-wax hording drongo has just released 'The Beat Mix Vol 1: 60 Minutes of Cutts'

A unique (and not no piss weak) 45 track instrumental mix CD paying homage to the producers and DJ’s that all jaded, purist oldskool cunts look up to and genre, gender confused toys probably never heard of (No joke!).

A compact disc jam packed full of classic rap beats mixed, scratched, juggled and cutt the fuck up by yours truly. If ya hated Too Terrorble Tablists “70 Minutes of Terrorble’s” fast paced, non stop whirlwind of alcho fueled, audio vandalism.....then you’ll hate this even more!

Beatmix vol1 front
Beatmix vol1 back

Available in store now, the rant on the back is worth the purchase let alone all the dope instrumental goodness!
