DJ Spinna - 1996 Beat Tape Vol. 1

Release Date:05/05/2017;Notes:Limited orange vinyl LP pressing. Aptly titled, 1996 Beat Tape Vol. 1, DJ Spinna's latest instrumental album features 18 original beats all produced on the EMU-SP1200 and Akai S950 circa 1996. With over 25 years in business, the Brooklyn native is tied to nothing short of greatness and a legacy of diverse extensions since his beginnings as a house DJ in the late '80s. The 18 track fully instrumental LP proves the advanced production techniques and sampling ideas Spinna employed are still ahead of it's time long before much of the resurgence of '90s revivalist themes from today's artists. The 1996 Beat Tape is the real McCoy. All music was produced before computers, before accessible home studios and before instrumental hip-hop was a category. Many of the beats were made with vocalists in mind. Constructed on turntables, the EMU-SP1200 and the Akai S950, historians will appreciate the album cover designed by Joe Buck which depicts intimate photos of Spinna in his studio with the actual gear used to create the album's contents. This is only the first volume and the debut venture between Redefinition Records and Spinna's own Correct Technique Records. With two plus decades of unreleased material, who knows what the future holds, but history shows that when DJ Spinna releases an instrumental album, they sell fast.;Track List:1. Bleepers;2.
