Selectabwoy :-
Final mix (for 2016 at least) in the sample-spotter series.
I’ll tell you straight, this was a labour of love – two weeks of hell staring at my iPhone to put this together, but worth it all in the end.
It’s a selection spanning numerous genres from the 60’s to the 90’s, the common thread being – as ever – that each track was sampled by the hardcore/rave/jungle/DnB scenes – some have just one signature sample, others have been frankly rinsed the fuck out. Some of these records are incredibly obscure, dug up with help from the RolldaBeats and WhoSampled camps – others are long-standing personal favourites of mine.
This time I’ve included a few cheeky set-pieces based around reconstructions of hardcore/jungle tracks, or at least paying tribute to them, so keep an eye out for D’Cruze’s Bass Go Boom, 4 Hero’s darkside classics Journey From The Light and The Elements; a trio of Foul Play samples, a cut-up reconstruction of Leviticus’ The Burial, a 115bpm tribute DJ Hype’s Tiger Style, and plenty more besides. I can assure you that no jungle records were harmed in the making of this mix, original sources only. And they are so good. As ever – hope you enjoy.
