Rhythm Trax V.5

The fifth in a series of "rhythm" LPs by Stones Throw artists highlights Koushik, focusing strictly on instrumentals. As a tool for DJs, these stripped-down tracks take it one step beyond the standard hip-hop break record, providing some minimal instrumentation and other sounds that give the track character, but are still basic enough to be blended with numerous other records of a similar tempo.

Inspired by Jive Records' series of instrumental DJ tools from the 1980s, the Rhythm Traxx series provides discerning DJs with tasteful instrumental segues, versatile in the mix, yet holding up on their own.
