'Flexicuts'
Introducing ‘FLEXICUTS’ by DJ Woody, the World’s first skip-proof 7” Flexi Disc scratch tool! 10 new and original skip proof scratch sentences plus 1 regular scratch sentence arranged at 83.33bpm and pressed at 33.33rpm.
A rubbish record to put on and listen to, but a genius record for all DJs that like to get busy in the mix! According to Woody, the physical properties of a Flexi-disc helps keep the needle in the groove, I guess the self-leveling of a flexi eliminates any 'bowing' you might get with vinyl and also no transfer of movement across the disc. But even with this benefit, the flexi is recorded as 'skip-proof' for extra confidence. What is 'skip-proof'? These are scratch sentences which basically loop, lasting the length of time it take the record to rotate, so at 33 1/3rpm that is a 1.8 second loop. This means if and when the record does skip a groove, it will land on exactly the same noise as it jumped out of, because the noise recurred at the same position on the records rotation. I think DJ Swamp was the first to do this over 15 years ago.
1 sided translucent red Flexi Disc with silver foil graphic, comes in hand stamped ’sweetie-bag’.
