Kid Koala’s 12 Bit Blues cardboard gramaophone

Kid Koala is the stage name of Canadian DJ Eric San, known for his turntablist style and love of re-descovering old jazz and blues records. Back on his debut Scratchcratchratchatch mixtape in ’96 there was a vocal sample used that mentioned building a “finger powered record player”, and with the release of his latest album, 12 Bit Blues, that is exactly what he has done.

Those who buy the limited edition version of 12 Bit Blues will find a DIY cardboard gramophone ready to assemble and actually use. That is some serious packaging.
