April 22, 2010. Royal NoneSuch Gallery, Oakland, California. Project #15 in “21 Projects x 21 hours x 21 days.” One hour of chopped and screwed mixes by the late DJ Screw with additional information about his life and music.
“The Screw sound is when I mix tapes with songs that people can relax to. Slower tempos, to feel the music and so you can hear what the rapper is saying. When I am mixing, I might run across something a rapper’s saying which is important. I may run it back two or three times to let you hear what he is saying – so you can wake up and listen, because they are telling you something. I make tapes so everyone can feel them.” – DJ Screw
