HOT CHOPS

CRATE CUTS captures the unmistakable sound of days spent diving through stacks of forgotten vinyl, sampling with classic gear, and the loose, anything-goes production ethic pioneered by iconic beatmakers like J Dilla, Madlib, and MF Doom. Influenced by the buried treasure found in soul, jazz, and funk bins in record stores all over the world, it’s packed with original, royalty-free recordings on reel-to-reel tape, sampled using iconic gear, and chopped into custom kits along with punchy percussion, synths, and bass from MASSIVE and MONARK.
