Wil Baptiste and Kev Marcus collaborate with DJ SPS and drummer Nat Stokes to create their signature multi-genre sound. Audiences will recognize elements of songs by artists from Puccini to the Temptations, from Imagine Dragons to Johann Sebastian Bach. DJ’s like DJ SPS cut and loop beats to recreate music. They also pause, scratch, backspin, speed up or slow down, and/or delay the music. In its simplest form cutting would involve cutting a few bars of the beat and looping it to create a continuous sound.
