The Nick Hook 'Collage V.1' Serato Pressing is a journey which began in LA in February 2014, with Egyptian Lover, Lenny Castro, Todd Edwards and Sunni Colon. Then carried on in New York with Bernie Worrell, Kilo Kish, Bodega Bamz, Crystal Caines, Sliink, Nadus and Cmat. The madness resulted in a 2x12'' set of custom clear records, littered with smoky black swirls. Each A side contains 4 tracks and the licensed Serato CV02.5 Control Tone on the B sides.
The whole process was documented by Serato and is released as a 5 part video series, the first four episodes covering the recording and production of each track, and the fifth revolving around the other side of the process - the artwork production, final touches on the music and the physical production of the record. The series culminates in a visit to United Record Pressing in Nashville where the record is pressed.
