Kypski's 'Wreck Fader' LP is Some Wonky, Next Level Scratchery

"From a mainstream perspective it certainly may look like scratching is a lost art," says Kypski, "but if you dig a bit deeper you'll find that theres a ton of stuff going on. Not that theres batlles going off everywhere like in the old days, but everyday, people are inventing new ways to incorporate scratching into their live set and in their recordings."

We're yet to hear anyone incorporate it quite like Kypski has, though. His Wreck Fader LP sounds like Mellow Gold era Beck if he was raised on a diet of chip tune and Invisibl Skratch piklz and teleported to 2018. He enlisted the help of Low End luminaries D-Styles and Daedelus on a couple tracks, but we've got the exclusive on "Deejays," a tune he collabed on with DJ 4our5ive, AKA Lil Wayne's DJ AKA K La Boss of seminal hip hop group EPMD.

There are a lot of subtleties floating about in the tune. In Kypski's words: "The live analog snaredrum playing, the indian bollywood breakbeat, the strings by my friends from Matangi Quartet, and Kenyon's scratching. It is a great honor for me as a regular Dutch guy to make music with an EPMD member."

The album is, indeed, some majestic headfuck. "This is what happens inside my head," Kypski explains. "For a deeper headfuck, I advise you to play the Wreck Fader 3D music game (Iphone /Ipad/Android) when its out this week in the appstore & google play store"
