"CTRL C / CTRL V"

Over the past four years 33Throwdown Recordings has trail blazed the art forms of cut n’ paste, b-boy edit, and the mighty mastermix, leaving the competition floundering.
With 26 tracks crammed into only 7 slabs of vinyl from top cut n’pasters and respected producers the back catalogue are nearly all sought after collectors pieces.

What’s the drill? During 2006 Delic Records in Japan threw down a challenge to 33Throwdown:
Not only would they match any cut n’paste album we produced, scratch for scratch and break for break, but they would raise the stakes!
Well, round these parts, that’s battle talk, so we had no choice but to draw styluses at 10 paces.

In a war of beats in which UK/USA vs. Japan, this is round one!
The resulting arsenal is 33TT’s first foray into the full length long player, with an astonishing line up of artists who have all turned in slabs of pure turntablist gold specially for the war effort:
Exclusive new material from Freddy Fresh (Howlin’ Records / B Boy Beats & Pieces USA), DJ Dren (Delic Records Japan / 33Throwdown / Play Breaks UK), Razorcuts (Soundly Beaten / 33Throwdown), Ictus (Second To None / MZEE Germany /33Throwdown), Shaka B & Dren (33Throwdown) and MP3 Genius (33Throwdown / Global Funk Radio / Trakfinder) alongside remixes and back catalogue tracks by The Saxon Scoundrels (B Boy Beats & Pieces / 33Throwdown), Si Spex (The Creators, Blindside Records / Bad Magic) vs. MCM (Caveman, Profile Records), Harmonic33 (the amazing Mark Pritchard, Jedi Knights / Choas & Julia Set / Troubleman / Global Communication / Reload + Alphabet Zoo Records / 33Throwdown / Warp / FarOut) and The Returner (Mark Pritchard again!).
