This thursday Skillz the Dj Game will finally be available to buy for Ipad users! Me & DJ Daredevil from Droppin’ Science have been working on the soundtrack for a couple of years now for the Hong-Kong based production company Playpen Studios, creating specially re-edited & cut-up versions of tracks from the likes of Stones Throw Records, Ministry of Sound, Ninja Tune, Hospital Records & Om Records. I’ve been playing a pre-release version of the game for sometime now & I can tell you it’s a whole lot of fun, the control system is extremely intuitive, & a lot closer to the real thing than previous dj rhythm games!
A whole heap of videos have been released from various sources, I’ve posted up a few of my favourite ones I worked on below, check ‘em out!
Check out my peeps Prose aka Steady & Efeks in their new double a-side video ‘For the love/What’s Love’ taken from the future classic album ‘Force of Habit‘ – There’s also a couple of tracks on there featuring myself on the cuts, check out ‘More Than Before’ below featuring Philadelphia’s Killer Rellik & Side Effect, I’m pretty happy with how my all-scratched chorus turned out!
