Virtual Crate Digging: Turntablism

Filthy and grimy aren’t usually favorable terms. But if you’re looking for something with a bit of an edge to match the attitude of the story, they can be lifesavers. Diverging from a world of clean cut samples and shiny synths can (in the right hands) lead you to far more interesting places.

And if there’s one thing we know about social media is that it’s freaking ridiculous. Go be ridiculous. #memeworthy
