Scratchcratchratchatch...What's that noise' 'Sometimes it's just about putting chickens in the track and scratching them until they explode at the end.' The Kid Koala (aka Eric San) scritches and scratches a dynamite new interpretation of hip hop. Eight miles high and rising, it'll take a nation of millions to hold this kid back. A sample slinging warrior spinning yarns using the finest wax that the loony bin at the used and abused record store has to offer. The deadliest weapon in the Ninja arsenal, you just might die laughing as Kid Koala beats you silly. A life long wacky sound addict, he honed his skills djing weddings and singles nights. This debut album has been four years in the baking, due to the weighty fact that the kid was stuck under something heavy. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a hand-cut, sonically schizophrenic adventure through piles and piles of vinyl. Geddit!'

A cornucopia of scratch wizzardry, sonic buffoonery and beat experimentation. Surreal but funky. - Front

A '3 Feet High & Rising' for the next generation, 'CTS' is the sort of album that will make aspiring DJs quit. It's just too damn good.5/5 - Ben Mortimer Jockey Slut

This is a scratchtastic concept LP which has its place in the development of turntablism, but caters in main for the headstrong. - Ritchy Pitch Wax

You can hear real feeling and a sly comic sensibility emerge from the decks on every track, as KK wings improbable beats and riffs from the most unlikely of sources, working a record collection acquired from bargain bins across the world for all its worth - Tim Irwin DJ
