\nOn a Saturday morning at the start of November 2013, First Word Records took 3 of their favourite producers out of London to spend the day browsing through the vinyl shelves of the biggest record nerd we know – the incomparable Mr Thing. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This was the culmination of an idea that first manifested itself on Record Store Day 2012. Like most ideas it was a natural conclusion to a conversation about records and music – Kidkanevil had expressed a desire to dig through Mr Thing’s sizeable collection for some inspiration. Chatting to Mr Thing it seemed unfair to limit this to only one producer – Tall Black Guy and Eric Lau were top of First Word’s wish list. <\/p>\n

So – a double 7″ (Mr Thing would make a beat too – they are his records after all) in time for Record Store Day 2013. There was however one stipulation about the records from the usually mild-mannered Mr Thing – “The guys can sample anything they like, but Nothing Leaves The House”<\/p>\n

The result is four tracks that celebrate our love for record digging, sample chopping and the simple love of a dope beat. <\/p>\n

This video gives you a taste of what went on! <\/p>\n
