DOWN IN THE CRATES
Crates of wax, dusty sleeves, and sampled beats: STACKS packs the building blocks of 2000s-era, sample-heavy hip hop into a Play Series instrument full of leads, strings, horns, bass, and sounds influenced by crate digging dedication. Dive deep into the same sounds you’d hear on old-school gems – electric keys, organs, glocks, strings, horns, live bass, and beyond – resampled and processed using tape decks and hardware until they hit the spot. Think collages of funk fused with lo-fi soul, pop lines, and organic left-field bass built for the art of beatmaking.
DIGGING DEEPER INTO STACKS & BURNT HUES
Beau Tyler got his hands on Play Series: STACKS and the BURNT HUES Expansion to cook up a beat and take a closer look at the tones and textures hidden inside.
