Should I repress Pakalolo VOl 1? I created this record in Hawaii 1997 Then in 1999 in Los Angeles I Mastered Pakalolo vol 1and 2 with Y-mix a Capital Records record engineer that left Capital but was able to acquire his room’s equipment since capital records mastering was downsizing. I drove to San Fernando valley met Y- mix at his house with the vintage vinyl cutter old ass but clean tape machine and tube mastering equipment was in his garage. For this track, I had to time the eq cut of the bass it was to heavy for a record groove he knew it would make the needle jump while playing. While the lacquer was being cut I was able to pull it off by hand. At first, he was going to record it to 1/2″ tape then cut to lacquer I didn’t want to lose what I had in Noise. I produced this super minimal with a Roland w30 & EPs 16+ borrowed from Capital J & DJ Daniel Js Tascam mixer preamp. I dumped to 1/2″ 8 track tape 4 left 4 right then to a dat monitor output 2 -1500w double 18″ cabs loud as fuck on Mott-Smith drive that Summer 97′

We Release Pakalolo Battle Breaks in 1999 only on Vinyl in two volumes Volume 1 Static Breaks and Volume 2 Tranz . Allot has happened in the years when we first released the breakbeats there was a great buzz in the early days of the internet 99′ . we took to a indie distribution and release 2000 copies 1800 of them were stolen by the company that was sold at the time with no way to get the records back. We shelved the project and had to move on. With Records being collectable We noticed them popping up online in the recent year for as much as $30 bucks for a set as they were sold as a pair.
