Mr. Chop - Switched On - out on Now-Again Records

Mr. Chop Switched OnMr. Chop Vitamin C
Mr. Chop - Switched On
(CD/2x10"/9"/Digital) Now-Again / Five Day Weekend FDW7705, 2011-10-17

Now-Again Records, in association with Five Day Weekend, presents Mr. Chop's Switched On over the course of a 9" single and a 2x10" LP. If you're a long-time Paris DJs reaer/follower, by now you know all about the man - but, in case you need a primer: Coz Littler aka Mr. Chop is a producer, engineer, multi-instrumentalist and the proprietor of Cheshire, UK based Ape Recording Studios, one of the finest analog studios in the world.... and a repository for vintage synthesizers, guitars, drums and gear sourced from the world over. Which brings us to Switched On, his homage to the great Moog-lead albums that proliferated in the wake of the synthesizer's invention in the late 60s and early 70s. But, unlike those records - like Dick Hyman's Age of Electronicus which contained one great synth-funk track amidst a series of soft pop hits, this album is all killer, and no filler. Mr. Chop tackles songs by the likes of Can, The JB's, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Smith via a still-futuristic blend of heavy drums by The Heliocentrics' Malcolm Catto, and his own and funky bassline, fuzzy guitars and cosmic keys.

Mr Chop & Friends - Ultimate Breaks & Beats - Instrumentals Volume 2

Ultimate Beats & Breaks Instrumentals Vol 2
Mr Chop & Friends - Ultimate Breaks & Beats - Instrumentals Volume 2
(CD/2xLP) Traffic Entertainment Group TEG3320, 2009-07-21

The Ultimate Breaks & Beats series is a 25-volume collection of songs that serve as the back bone to the world of sampled music. Consisting of music released during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, this series has been done and redone; released and re-released. Up until now, these songs were never available as instrumental only and producers have been forced to work around the grunts, screams, and crooning of these classics to isolate that perfect drum beat, breakdown, or sample. Until now. We are proud to present to you the Mr. Chop-produced Ultimate Breaks & Beats Instrumentals Volume 2. That's right, after the success of Volume One we are back with another amazing collection of instrumentals. As an added bonus, three UBB influenced break interludes are included. It's a new day for fans of the break beat, and what a better day it is. Producers, start your MPC's as we give to you Instrumentals - the breaks, the whole breaks, and nothing but the breaks.

Repeated play is advised. [comment faire?/how to?] Tracklisting :...
