Grasp The Erro - The Beat Slinger Series Vol 2 Breakbeat Nuskool Breaks

The Beat Slinger Series Vol. 2 Breakbeat – Nuskool Breaks



The Beat Slinger Series is a set of solo mixes laid down by Grasp The Erro. Grasp is a dj from BC Canada who has been behind the wheels of steel since early 2001. His first live set was a Trance set heavily influenced by Tiesto. Shortly after that Grasp became heavily absorbed in the world of Hip-Hop and turntablism, going on to take 3rd place in a Regional DMC Qualifier. A few year's later Grasp's day job took him overseas to Australia for 2 years and he was exposed to psy-trance and new styles of Drum and Bass and Breakbeat he had not previously heard. One thing about Grasp is his diverse background and The Beat Slinger Series is the ideal showcase for that background. The second installment of this project is a Breakbeat venture. Primarily composed of Nuskool Breaks there are also Big Beat, Progressive and a few Classic thrown into the mix. Other volumes will include Dub-Step, Glitch and whatever else grabs Grasp's heart at the time.
