Download LargeUp's Free Sound Effects Library Voiced By Dancehall Singer Screechy Dan
Sound effects are the ultimate punctuation. It's been said every hero needs a theme song but in this attention-deficient and media-saturated era, don't nobody have time for you to get to the climactic orchestral breakdown of your seven-minute theme song before deciding whether to give you your hero propers. If you want to command respect in this day and age you need an airhorn close at hand to underscore your statements, not to mention a lick-a-shot and a bomb-a-drop. Which is why, when our reggae department over at LargeUp got legendary dancehall singer Screechy Dan into the studio with Federation Sound's Kenny Meez to record his new mixtape My Story (drops tomorrow Thursday 8/14 exclusively on LargeUp. AIRHORN!) they also took the opportunity to have the NYC reggae veteran voice an entire library of sound effects, ranging from the traditional ('laser sounds'; 'RUN THE TRACK!') to the comical ('Aflac!'- full sound effects index at bottom). The whole thing is downloadable as a folder or single mp3 track. Get more backstory from Meez and a sneak preview below, then hit the link to download via LargeUp (and come back tomorrow to get the full mixtape because 'MUSIC WE SAY'.
As mentioned last week, the recording sessions for Screechy Dan‘s My Story mixtape produced by myself, Kenny Meez (Federation Sound) and DJ Shirkhan (Safari Sound) also yielded a bunch of sound effects all done by the man himself. The sum of them all is quite astounding, as Screechy offers interpretations of dogs, birds, horses, monkeys, ambulances, “elders” and even air, as well as 10 different variations on the airhorn! (Also, six different laser sounds). There’s even a mini dubplate from “Jimmy Mountain” (Jimmy Cliff‘s”cousin”) plus Screechy spins on staple phrases like “In come a ting called” and “Run the track,” and catchphrases from Kool DJ Red Alert (“Yeahhhhhhhhh”), Popcaan (“Yaoooowwww”),“Macho Man” Randy Savage (“Ooohhhh yeahhhh”) and the AFLAC duck (“AFLAC!”)
