The Streets: Making of 'How To Win At Rock Paper Scissors'

US Behind the scenes development & game-winning strats      21/02/25

Behind the scenes videos can be a little predictable, but here's a real wildcard from Mike Skinner of The Streets - showing how the track 'How To Win At Rock Paper Scissors' came together. It's incredible to see the amount of places and faces involved in the evolutionary process, as well as the gear used on the journey - you'll spot a custom TR-909, a Banjo, an Isla Instruments S2400, a Digitech Whammy Effects Pedal and much more. How we'd love to see this process for other artists as well ! 
 
Here's the track:
 

 

And here's more on the making of:
 
Mike Skinner takes us on a journey through his creative process as he writes, records, and constructs his new song, How to Win at Rock Paper Scissors. From the tour bus to ferry rides, arena dressing rooms, and band members' front rooms, there's no place where Skinner can't find a spot or a sound to help bring the song to life. Join him and a cast of many as he travels from concept to creation.
