Dublab Presents Secondhand Sureshots (trailer / podcast)

For a truly geeked-out experiment that Dublab has deemed Secondhand Sureshots, two filmmakers followed producers J-Rocc, Daedelus, Nobody, and Ras G on a thrift store trip for dollar vinyl. Directors Bryan “Morpho” Younce and Mark “Frosty” McNeil laid out a specific plan: the West Coast crate-diggers would each build a beat using no more than five “dollar bin” albums (no instruments, no additional source material), pulling drum breaks, strings, vocals, etc., strictly from these records. While the musical results are a bold, kaleidoscopic success, we’re sure none of these guys are really smitten with the idea of being filmed as they’re chopping samples. The mini-documentary, available from Stones Throw, is enlightening and often humorous. It’s packaged with a CD of the finished beats, and both discs offer lots of bonus stuff.
