MH-208 Jel - 10 Seconds  From Mantronix to Marley Marl, the Beastie Boys to Large Professor, the Bomb Squad to Dj Muggs, and the Rza to Jel, the SP-1200 has been the most important instrument in hip-hop's short history. Named after the unit's criminally small amount of sample time, 10 Seconds pays homage to hip-hop's past without ever sounding dated. Featuring the signature drum programming and sample selection that has made him a favorite in underground circles, the instrumental format of 10 Seconds allows Jel the opportunity to structure his tracks without limitation. The result is a full-length that flows while maintaining the standard hip-hop boom-bap and is sure to go down as blueprint for future hip-hop instrumentals. |

| Done entirely on a SP-1200 sampler, Jel has a fantastic mix of baby break-beats and mellow hip-hop. Integrating everything from Nintendo sounds to party whispers to flutes and pan-pipes, 10 Seconds has that instantaneous head-bop, yet incredibly chill vibe. Pick this up, raise your cup, and let the party start. - Interference |
