the album - "acid made me do
it"
Krushed
& Sorted’s debut album - released in April 2000 - reflects this
diversity of musical taste, drawing from influences (and samples!!)
of classic dub, 40’s jazz, old comedy records, old-skool jungle and
psychedelic ambience, and fusing these with the freshest in
cutting-edge breakbeats, filtered loops, sub-bass technology and
state-of-the-art digital post-processing techniques. The result is a
madcap, new assault on the breakbeat and drum ‘n bass genres of
modern electronic music.
‘Acid
™ Made Me Do It’ is an album in celebration of the home
studio, created almost entirely on a 5 year old Pentium 166 computer,
a Yamaha A3000 sampler and cutting-edge audio production software. It
was assembled, mixed and mastered entirely at Krushed & Sorted
Studios in Cape Town.
