„In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to retreat and withdraw from reality, taking recourse either in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagined past. All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher.

Turntablism is the imaginary place, and in its center stands Chinch 33 with a wide open third eye. Across ten productions by internationally known sample scientists Morlockko Plus, Maniac, Giallo Point, Kyo Itachi, HTN, MecsTreem, Illien Rosewell, Dave Sparkz, KON Sci, Vic Grimes and himself, Chinch 33 transmutes his narration on the wheels of fortune and speaks to the powers that be, collaging a conundrum of words of wisdom.

He’s accompanied by none other than Rob Swift and Mista Sinista of the X-Ecutioners, a leading force in international turntablism for over two decades, as well as DJ Stylewarz, who established the artform in the German scene back in the days and still excels in it. Prowess unheard of. 

After a myriad of records primarily focused on purist sample flipping and classic rap productions, »Delusion« is a dedication to turntablism in its immaculate form and fashion. This one is all about the cutting and the scratching. Infinite versatility, a higher vibratory dimension.“ - the intern
