This is a significant moment for anyone who takes turntablism seriously as its own art form. 545 comprised of D-Styles (Invisibl Skratch Piklz alumnus and one of the most influential scratch musicians in the game), Excess, Mike Boo, and Pryvet Peepsho deliver *EPILOGUE*, their fifth and, as the title unambiguously states, final album as a group. Our final transmission as 545 ends here with the full length album EPILOGUE. This is our 5th LP and closing scene in our sonic story. The quartet has built a reputation since their first 2019 sessions in Las Vegas as one of the most technically accomplished and conceptually playful turntablism crews working today their earlier releases (*545*, *545 808*, *545 WFH*) were celebrated within the scene as genuine masterworks. Community reactions frame this as a worthy closer to an era, asking how you follow up supreme beat junkies and answering: you drop a 545 album. Recorded in February 2024 at Penguin Studios in San Diego, mixed and mastered by Johnny Morgan, with artwork and obi strip by Nadeneco. Twelve tracks including a bonus cut not featured on the vinyl edition. For anyone who understands turntablism as a discipline standing alongside MC rap rather than beneath it, this is mandatory listening.
