DJ Spinna - Unpicked Treats Vol. 1 (LP) Vinyl Record

Vinyl LP pressing. Following up his sold out Redef debut (1996 Beat Tape, Vol 1), veteran producer DJ Spinna returns with another wave of hard hitting instrumentals. Entitled, Unpicked Treats Volume 1, the "Jigmasta" Spinna has prepared the first of an ongoing series of beats that all have a similar story. Making tracks for well over two decades, this project features a small collection of beats that were created with the intention of backing MC's and vocalists, but were never officially used. Rather than archiving the material, DJ Spinna realized his fan base would appreciate these compositions in instrumental form. After all, he is the same producer who has garnered respect from the likes of J Dilla, Pete Rock, Jazzy Jeff and yes, the one and only Stevie Wonder himself. Without giving too much of his process away, Spinna challenged himself using a mix the latest cutting edge software in tandem with some of his favorite gear from over the years. The end result is a glimpse into the spontaneous execution of top notch creativity. Listeners will have an unobstructed view into the ears and mind of the artist. Employing several different approaches, Unpicked Treats Volume 1 maintains a consistent vibe throughout it's 12 songs. Whether, you love beat tapes, instrumental music or are entertained by the art of sampling, this record is a commodity.
