Scion CD Sampler v.8

I am way past the target market for this CD but music is music and it was a freebie. Mainly modern techno/beat/house/rap mixed by DJ Melo D of the Beat Junkies.

It is not bad stuff. The concept is to mix known traditional tracks with contemporary music to fuse them into a completely new entity. What we in the old school use to call sampling. Various tracks are from Dilated Peoples, Jaylib, Kev Brown and other folk I don’t know.

Scion is a line of cars (I did not know this), including that boxy job that looks like a rolling square. I still think the PT Cruiser has more class and design but I could see myself stuff major stuff into a Scion. If you are curious about the Beat Junkies visit www.beatjunkies.com
