Proud to announce the release of my project with the Afiara Quartet entitled "Spin Cycle". This project was produced over the last 8 months in collaboration with 4 Canadian composers (Laura Silberberg, Dinuk Wijeratne, Kevin Lau, Rob Teehan). Here's how it worked:

Phase 1: 4 composers wrote 4 original pieces for the Afiara String Quartet. Pieces were recorded.

Phase 2: Skratch Bastid remixed each of the pieces, using select parts that were replayed by the string quartet, sampled, and scratched. 

Phase 3: The 4 composers remixed the remixes by writing new pieces based on the remix. Skratch Bastid & Afiara Quartet performed these pieces live and recorded them. 

This track is Phase 3 of Laura Silberberg's piece, titled "Dirty Laundry - Heavy Load".

MECHE TE AMO BENDICIÓN  MAMI COMO QUISIERA VERTE PERO NO SE PUEDE...RIP😪

My style of mixing is unique style than most  with my brass band swing band jazz band beginnings ,playing trombone for 15 yrs and after 25 yrs of age electronic music took me by surprise and finally hard house made me want to Dj and it’s been a pleasure to take this journey making mixes somewhat like making mix tapes in the 80’s 
watching  others I’ve self taught myself and  always keen to learn more ! 
My mixes are RAW no rehearsing !! The formula is a I pick a set of fresh as fuck tunes  that just fell out the truck and then stitched together and mixed  by me ! Raw as Fuck is how to roll  as well as learning how to do the transition better 
but I go for a theme sometimes or a audio intro shapes the mood , a curated selection I’ve picked for a vibe 
but this is me love it or hate it 
just say something in the comments  feel free to ￼critique me  negative comments or just being a troll it’s all positive to me 
cheers and enjoy
