SNAP! (2001) by Ethan Persoff

Originally pressed in limited number (100 compact discs) the design of the album allowed you to work the CD like a hypnodisc.

Hand-spliced tape manipulations and turntablism from 2001, this spirited psychodrama from Ethan Persoff is, according to zines and radio from the era: "a marvelously weird record", "surely about something". and "possibly years ahead of itself" — its use of rare 45s or private press material to tell a story was compared favorably to Cut Chemist and DJ Shadow's Brainfreeze from the same era.

"While many DJ sets seek out drum breaks, 2001's SNAP! mines rockabilly, romance, and spoken oddities to play out as a story ... A narrative listen more than a danceable one."

Jumping ahead two decades, in 2024, we're proud to re-release SNAP! with a new mastering from its original finished tapes.
