New on Crispy Crust Records is a strong offering from one of the label’s founders ESKEI83 – Make The Record Skip.
With a dream to bring together production and live DJ elements (he’s a world DJ battle champion), ESKEI83 is curating a series under the same name.
This totally unique “Make The Record Skip” draws on his technical ability as both a producer and DJ, pitching live vinyl scratching against some razor sharp bass drops and cascading melodies.
We can’t wait for the next edition in the series to arrive – for now, check out this first release below.
