The Piklz bring you their second experiment into skratch proof technology. And they've tightened it up. The shit really works. One side is entirely skip-proof. We tested it and when the needle jumps, the sound placement is very accurate. On this side, there are: 11 skip proof skratch sections ranging from beep-ahhh to more complex combos; 1 skip proof drum section, 1 dual tone (2 tones that can be separated into left-right channel), and one locked beat. The flip features 3 beats and one bass tone. Lookout for the neck snap beat used for Toadmans rap on Pharaohs of Funk. Also a blazing electro beat you'll also recognize. Shit is tighter than you.
