With the help of famous mixers like Kid Koala and Q-Bert, turntablism and its history, intertwined with hip-hop, has come into its own, and in some respects, also digressed. When turntablism started, it was more of an artform of piecing tracks together with skill and tact. Mr. Dibbs returns turntablism to its roots with Primitive Tracks, Soundtrack to Photosynthesis. An amazing cut-and-paste collage of hip-hop tracks and soundbytes, the record even features Dibbs playfully throwing in some Rage Against the Machine and classic rock. This album is best played in its entirety and is a trackspotter's challenge. Without the proper skills needed, an album this eclectic could have been a disaster. However, with Dibbs behind the decks, the album is a success. ~ Diana Potts|
