[VIDEO] Fracture makes a track in 10mins

Taking the challenge this week, Fracture. Head of the Astrophonica label, Fracture has been drawing from his loves of hip-hop and jungle for close to a decade, recently becoming part of the family at drum'n'bass powerhouses Metalheadz and Exit Records.

Fracture's a keen sampler, and his Against the Clock episode is a special one: as well as only taking 10 minutes to make a track, he made it sampling records that he bought at East London store Eldica. How long did we give him to pick the records out? Why, 10 minutes of course

That was cool. This is one of the better ones that I've seen.

Yea. Nicely done I think. Also liked his commentary about cheesy samples and how sloppy the work was "this a bit loose but that's the way we like it".

Love Fracture. But I'm curious do people actually use the ableton time stretching feature like that in production? It sounds awful!

There's different algorithms for complex material like vocals or parts with multiple instruments or for ones with fast transients like drums. I didn't see him set any time stretching algorithms in that short time he had.
