The definitive electronic scratch album conceived as a soundtrack, inspired from the cinematic sounds of 60's and 70's crime & spy movies. Big band horns, orchestral strings and deep funk, combined with urban broken-beats, dramatic piano melodies, nu-jazz grooves, hip hop and some touch of bossa. A complex production characterized by acrobatic skills in drum programming and art of playing musical phrases with turntable scratching. Featuring scratch legends like D-Styles, Mike Boo, Tayone, sweet vocals by Laura Falcinelli, great musicians like Bozorius and John Type Ensemble.
