Sounds like an alien DJ or something and evolves into some interesting and unexpected directions as it goes.

Macca Macca Hey!
Thank you!
this is out there, very creative. I also really like the bass sound.
i agree with the alien dj comment + i love the weird like zipper/record cutting sound its my fave lol
I'm hearing the Paul McCartney / Wings! Love the vinyl scratch sounds. Totally recontextualized. So good! It's like Wings run through a black hole. There's another pizzicato guitar riff in there that sounds familiar but can't quite get it. Or am I mistaken?

Thank you all! That riff is something I've been hearing in practically every restaurant I've been in for the past couple of months. So I guess I'm imprinted. ::)
I'm digging this. A slinky groove I can thank the alien dj for! And the restaurant music programmer. You must go to good restaurants.

Oh yeah only the best. ::)
this is great, really could see some odd ball rappers rhyming over this, and I love abusing my turntables and records, however they probably don't appreciate that.
The zippy sound is soo much fun to listen to 
I love how the drums tie everything together in this track. Really creative stuff
Did you play those record scratches yourself or were they sampled?
Amazingly weird stuff. The bass and the percussion in the second half really hold everything together.

a few were mine (records I didn't care much about), rest were samples.

Thanks for your comments! I try not to get carried away scratching. ::)
Odd in the best way possible 
I agree with hieme, the zippy/scratchy sounds were very fun to hear

Glad you could stop by for a listen!
Jim shimmering, jimmering. By listening carefully you can hear a melody and harmony somewhere in your mind, and it changes with each repetition of the song. Love it
So many cool vinyl scratches! Nice beats too especially in the second half with those dancing hi-hats.
Oh man I love the scratching and that first sample is so weird and good.
