others).
Unbeatable Xp in
.Wav (original mastering)
This battle record
comprises 7 instrumentals (about 2 minutes each), and 7 fat beats (about 30
seconds each).
It contains a
scratch-skip (4 minutes) mixed at 104 bpm, with more than 400 new sounds to
scratch (voices, breaks, hip hop phrases, electro waves), 70 rhythms to sample
and 15 real instruments sounds (saxophone, organ, synthesizer…).
There are 4 continuous
sounds (3 sounds and 1 beat) developed with a new technique enabling one to
play chord progressions using the mixer’s pan (left/right) switch.
There’s also a long
guitar note (30 seconds), it’s kind of saturated, like a Larsen. You can use it
to play guitar solos with your turntable.
The characteristic
of this record is the fact that it’s got 2 different sleeves artworks, one was
made by Same (Inkunstruction) and the second one by the artist Sylvain Vidale.
The record was mixed
in Studio de Bruges (N.C.Y.) and mastered at Studio Linster (Luxemburg).
It was put to
pressing at Parelies (Paris).

.Wav (original mastering)
The A-side comprises 4
tracks (2 minutes each, constantly varying in terms of construction and main
theme) elaborated either for DJ battles or home listening.
Also on the A-side is a
scratch skip ( 66.6 BPM ) divided into 4 parts :
· Beat-Juggling
(various sounds + rythms),
· Scratch Music (synths
descents),
· Drum-Kit (about 70
kits) for producers or DJ’s doing Scratch Music,
· Skip-Proof scratch
(sentences, words, voices).
Lastly on the A-side
are 10 “infinite beats” (infinite grooves) specially made to practice your
scratches over.
The B-side starts off
with a 4-minute, Grime-influenced, 90 bpm scratch sentence (about 400 original
sounds, not a single one being taken from another scratch record).
There are 7
electro-grime-battle inspired tracks, specially made for DJ competitions.
To sum it up, this
record is the perfect mix of battle records, and composing DJ’s tools.
Unbeatable Labs was
created, elaborated and mixed at the “Unbeatable Factory” by Alexandre Vidale.
The sleeve was designed
by Inkunstruction (www.inkunstruction.com).
They also did the whole visual campaign on Funkstörung’s latest album, as well
as for the Ethnies brand (skateboard) and many others…
It was mastered at
Studio Linster (Luxemburg) by Mike Butcher.
It was put to pressing
and remastered at Translab (Paris).
Pressed at M.P.O.
It took me a whole
year, working almost full-time to create this record. I went through some 1200
recent hip hop tracks just to find the sound or drum kits that haven’t yet been
used on a battle record.[/i]

Plus « da Beatmaking
Series » :
12467 samples in .Wav
organized in 313 Folders.
These files are the
issues of 6 years of working-digging sample for my different battle-breaks.
I used only 10 percent
of this huge collect of sample.
I have listening about
5000 cds of Rap, hip-hop, electronic and others cds, and take all the
drum-kits, bass, sentences, fx, melodical part and other of this audio
material.
Then,
all these files are classifieds in a lot of folders by theme like “bass”, “rap
sentence” (divised in politic expression, scratch competition, etc), “rap
sentence with beat”, “melodical sample”, “synths”, “fx”, “kicks”, “snare”,
“hatz”, etc…
