about

Well well well, look what the Krampus dragged in...

Back on the block ya'll, and I am truly sorry for those of you who have been looking forward to this for the last two years with nothing to show for it. But you know how life goes sometimes... I finally got it done, and decided to throw in every finished beat, half-beat, sample idea, and skeleton piece that I've collected over the last couple years.

So, this year Casta proudly presents the 45-ish Beats of Christmas. Ended up being just under 100 tracks to mix down (with all the vocal samples and everything), so give it some grace in that it's imperfect. But then again, who's Christmas is?

Love you all, and Merry Christmas,
Casta

(everything in this album has been sampled, chopped, stretched, tweaked, arranged, programmed, mixed, finessed, and beaten into submission by Casta in Portland, OR.) (except Track #19, which was remade as verbatim as possible from a perfect Super King beat that was lost years ago)

(thank you, SK, for all your support, love, and genius over the years)
