Deck Thrashers XR, a DJ Fuck moment

To round off an incredible season for Moment, we wanted to drop something special we’ve been working on for months—a pack from a name the whole industry swears by... DJ Fuck is the manic turntablist alter ego of pioneering virtual performer, artist & VR puppeteer Sam Rolfes, whose chopped-up hyper-speed AV internet-music DJ sets have torn up stages with Danny L Harle, Lil Mariko, Dorian Electra, PC Music, and more across the experimental club world. Their sets are fast, manic, and collide CDJ instrumentalism with a spray of breakcore, hardstyle, hyperp*p, and assorted meme music. 

Deck Thrashers XR is a sample-pack-homage to the classic scratch records of DJ Qbert while also investigating the limits of modern CDJ technology. We tasked Moment alum DJH to create original breaks, zaps & full club-ready tracks for DJ Fuck to scratch, chop, and spin back into oblivion. Then we tasked umru to do the rest! :)

Primarily recorded in one day at a Pirate studio, our goal was to bring the unique sonic character of the equipment we hear out every weekend right into your DAW at home. From ear-catching scratch loops to crowd-hyping fx, as well as original vocals from DJ Fuck and longtime collaborators Holly+, and Katabelle, Deck Thrashers XR is our largest pack to date, with 391 samples of pure deck carnage. 

Reviewing the pack’s recordings, we had Sam translate some of their alter ego’s ramblings: ”OUAGH BABYY (this collection is a new, digital take on classic turntablist break records)”, the crazed disc jockey can be heard screaming between takes, and continued to elaborate with a series of Korn-like grunts “OOWACKA WACKA GRRRRRRAOUW DECK THRASHERZ YAYAYAYA (in collaboration with DJH, Deck Thrashers XR breaks apart the CDJ jogwheel as a one-dimensional instrument and expands it into a cintense melodic and rhythmic cascades)”.
