In 2006, our friends at Dublab sent four Los Angeles-based beatmakers (Daedelus, J.Rocc, Nobody and Ras G) on a secret mission to create new musical magic from the dusty remains of thrift store vinyl. Secondhand Sureshots documents their exciting process, detailing their obsessive record shopping habits, their first reactions after listening to the raw material, and the sculpting of the final tracks. The film offers fresh insight into the thrill of the hunt, that elusive search for the perfect breakbeat--as well as giving us a sharp portrait of four of L.A.'s most charismatic beatmakers. This special unveiling of Secondhand Sureshots will also feature a bonus music video screening, and live performances in the conceptual spirit of the film.
