Gorillaz - "Stylo"

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 05:06:58 PDT

Out on March 5th, 2010, Plastic Beach is the third album of Gorillaz, the "virtual band" project by Damon Albarn , and Jamie Hewlett

The band is composed of four animated band members:

2D (lead vocalist, keyboard),
Murdoc Niccals (bass guitar),
Noodle (lead guitar and occasional vocals)
Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion)

Someone says that Plastic Beach is definitely epic, someone says is crap!

By the way, the album was anticipated by the digital release of the first single "Stylo" on January.
The song is cool, and the video is great! The video has a Bruce Willis cameo.

This song contains a sample of a synth line taken from Time Warp by Eddy Grant (1981).

Riva Starr - "I was drunk"

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 15:07:02 PST

Who doesn't know Riva Starr ?

Quoting his offcial MySpace page:

"...Riva Starr is a name that should be very familiar to anyone with an interest in modern house music. Having shot to the top after a string of head turning releases and remixes on some of the most talked about labels, Riva Starr couldn’t be hotter right now. What’s quite remarkable though is how quickly Stefano Miele, aka Riva Starr has established himself so prominently on a DJ/producer circuit that’s notoriously difficult to break into. It doesn’t hurt that Claude VonStroke and Jesse Rose, the two men who sit on top of the pile, happen to be two of his biggest fans.

So, how did the man from Naples rise from unknown to major player in just 2 years?
Like all good producers he’s earned his stripes and his current status is down to two things, hard work and talent.

Stef created the term “Snatch!” as a way of describing his bootleg remix style of snatching/pick pocketing other music styles for his own. It’s also a play on words with the type of folk/Balkan/rock music he draws inspiration from, often carrying that gypsy spirit..."

On October 2009 he released If Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade out on Made to Play.
Stef draws inspiration from the Balkan music scene, an area of music that’s always been a personal interest. He shows his depth of knowledge by using the brilliant Noze on ‘I Was Drunk’.

The videoclip uses footage from Black Cat, White Cat by Balkan director Kusturica :

The song also contain a sample taken from No Comment by Beltuner:

Please check out the latest Riva Starr Essential mix made for Radio1 on Soundcloud!

Offspring - "Pretty Fly (for a white guy)"

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 09:26:56 PST

Just a Sample Shot for today...
Do you remember that silly white prunk, hanging around the Orange County blocks acting like an idiot?
Do you remember what his father said him at the beginning of the video?

"...Gunter glieben glauchen globen..."

Watch the Offspring video of Pretty Fly (for a white guy):

The spoken intro part has been taken from Rock of Ages by Def Leppard (1983)!
Check it out:

"...The world needs wannabes
The world loves wannabes
Let's get some more wannabes (hey, hey)
Do that brand new thing..."

Samantha Fu - "Theme from the discoteque"

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:13:52 PST

(Look at the bottom of the album cover and find out where is the dancer's hand slipping through... lol )

"Do you know where your teenager is at 5 o'clock in the morning?
Young people, things have changed
Today the question for parents is, it's 10 am
Do you know where your children are?

Do you know where your teenager is at 5 o'clock in the morning?
Dirty dancing
Some say they're gone looking for drugs
Dirty dancing and pounding techno music"

This was an amazing club hit, released in 2001, and, after a decade, it's still burning down the dancefloor.
The song was produced by a mysterious duo named Samantha Fu.
Today we all know that behind that name there were the outstanding Dewaele brothers, best known as Soulwax later.

David and Stephen Dewaele made "Theme form the Discoteque" for a play called Discoteca by Ghent-based theatre group Kung Fu.

The opening siren sound is taken from King of the Beats by Mantronix:

We can found the same siren sound in Disco Siren by Midfield General

The song produced by Damian Harris was, in fact, released with the collaboration of Xavier De Rosnay (Justice) , playing bass and drums, and then mixed by Soulwax themselves.

We ♥ the Dewaele brothers!

Club Dogo - "Indecifrabili-Dangerous" feat. Lamaislam

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 10:41:02 PST

Here we go again!
Part. 2!
Thanx to Powerpier Youtube Channel we are talking about italian hip hop again!
Check it out! There are a lot of videos full of tons of italian Hip Hop original samples ID.

Club Dogo is the crew! MI Fist is the album, the same of yesterday!
The song is "Indecifrabili-Dangerous" feat. Lamaislam.

This song samples a beautiful mid 70's Motown ballad: Inside You by Frankie Valli.

Bless!

Club Dogo - "Cronache di Resistenza"

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:20:32 PST

Hey hey! Wow!

I just discovered the original music sample used by Club Dogo in Cronache di Resistenza published on MI Fist album, released in 2003.
It was a great album, and this track was a great piece of italian hip-hop music.

The song sampled Giving Up by Gladys Knight and the Pips
an early pre-Motown release written in 1964.

In 2005 this song was sampled also by: Mathematics on "Can I Rise" (feat. Hot Flamez)

and even sampled in a lot of different hip hop tracks: check it out! (Thanks to Ultragraphik.com blog)

Amon Tobin - "Four Ton Mantis"

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:48:24 PST

Today we are going to dig the whole last century...are you ready for this?

Starting with one of the most interesting artist of mid-90's, Amon Tobin, and his Four Ton Mantis, included in Supermodified album in the year 2000.

Genius of noise manipulation and uncompromising musical auteur, he took the concept of sampling to a next level: he didn't just sample old song, in his last albums, such as Foley Room(I personally love "Always") and Chaos Teory - Splinter Cell OST, he created song using audio sample of street and mechanical noise.

This song contains a sample taken from the intro part of (Hall of the) Mad Mountain King by Apollo 100, released in 1971.

Apollo 100's track parody a classical song: In the hall of the Mountain King by the norvegian composer Edvard Grieg written 1876.

And, I don't know why but it reminds me the Inspector Gadget cartoon theme! That's sound crazy!

His Majesty Andre - "Peep Thong"

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 08:42:43 PST

Hi Samples friends!
We had some problems with the blog but we tried to fix it!
So welcome back!

Let's start the new year with a smashing club track!
Thanks to Ewoud, a WhoSampled.com submitter, today we are talking about Peep Thong by His Majesty Andre, released in 2009 on Herve's Cheap Thrills Label.

“Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is transformed” is one of Andre's favourite quotes. That's why he feels so natural to use samples, mash-up tracks and explore other music to create new sounds, groovy things and pumpin' beats, without a single style to impress your ears.

Higly supported by Pete Tong, which assonance with the tune name is critical, Peep Thong soon became an amazing club hit.

The distorted synth riff is sampled from a 1979 song: The Second Time Around by Shalamar, listen carefully at 3:07 min.

Kidda - “Under The Sun (Herve’s Ain’t No Sunshine Mix)”

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 02:35:39 PST

Kidda was completely unknown to us until we heard Hervé’s remix of the second single off his album Going Up published on Skint Records.

The track is konwn as “Under The Sun (Herve’s Ain’t No Sunshine Mix)”

This song contains a vocal sample taken from You're All I Need to Get By by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell published on Motown Records (1970).
Listen at 1:53

Happy New Year, then!
Keep on reading our posts!

Kudu - "Bar Star"

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 11:26:22 PST

Kudu is a great and interesting band from Brooklyn, NYC. In 2005 they released Bar Star, toghether with the amazing following super8 videoclip...

This song can be considered as a tribute to Sheila E, best known for her collaboration with Prince.
Kudu's singer says the phrase "Love Bizarre" in the first bridge which is also a Sheila E song, and the video reminds me "The Glamorous Life" Sheila E.'s video, from which I think they sampled the intro synth part...

Uffie - "Pop the glock"

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 06:34:16 PST

She's young, she's sooooo sexy.... she's Uffie!
She said she was Ready to f*ck and, sooooooon got pregnant! WoOoOoOoOoW!

Let's talk about her first single Pop the glock.

It was first released in 2006 on Ed Banger Records, produced by Mr.Oizo and Feadz, her boyfriend at that time.

On october 2009 it was re-released as an EP, as a promotional release for her upcoming album Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans that will be out in early 2010.
A music video was released on October 3, 2009 and was directed by Nathalie Canguilhem.

This song samples the intro drum riff and quote most part of lyrics and flow of Top Billin' by Audio Two

Her latest single, "MC's Can Kiss" was leaked onto the internet on December 12, 2009 and will be officially released on February 1, 2010.

L-VIS 1990 - "Come Togheter"

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 11:21:11 PST

"L-Vis 1990, a.k.a. James Connolly, is a Brighton-based renaissance man who turns his hand to graphic design and music videos for Riton and Van Helden as well as his thumping beats. Despite leaving behind his breaks background, L-Vis 1990 has come full circle and nods in that direction on more than one occasion.

Influenced by pretty much everything with a beat in club land, from Europe to the US and drum & bass to electro, L-Vis 1990 has coaxed together the best bits to create some wicked dance music: in the true sense of the word.

Rather cheekily, L-Vis 1990 held the official funeral of “new rave” at his Brighton club night, So Loud, last summer when it was still riding high in the mainstream press. As he recalls: "We painted a giant banner with the words "New Rave R.I.P" written in blood. I think that was the turning point for me, the return of bass". He has brought his self-titled “hyper bass” to save us all from suffocating in the all-consuming attack from the Ed Banger mafia."

(via DataTransmission)

In 2009 he released different white labels and EPs, such as United Groove, published on Mad Decent label.

United Groove Ep contains "Come together":

This song is a re-work of "Come together" by B.A.R. feat. Roxy a big 90s italodance project.

If you liked the "hyper bass sound" check out the L-Vis Dubplates Mix 09 and also the "Compass/Zahonda" EP.

It was released in October 2009 on Sound Pellegrino, a brand new house and techno label run by Orgasmic and Tekilatex.

Bombaman - "Exia"

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 05:51:35 PST

Matt Carl aka Bombaman is a Canadian Dubstep producer and one half of dubstep duo Loetech.

On June he released the Face Down EP on ESP Records, an italian record label dedicated to electronic dance music, based in Milan.

This Ep contains Exia a samshing hit featured also on Crookers WMIG mix.

This is the new school Techstep madness!

This song contains a sample taken from "Face Down Ass Up" by 2 Live Crew.

3 is a Crowd - " What Is A DJ? "

conti.emanuele@yahoo.it (Cassius_K) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:17:37 PST

3 is a Crowd are a dj and producers trio from Milan. They belong to the new electro italian scene, and together with Crookers, Congorock and His Majesty Andre they're burning down dancefloors all over the world!

What's is a DJ? has been around since 2008 and we found it in different podcasts and live sets. The official release was signed on March 2009 with Mental Groove Records.

The intro part contains a vocal sample of What Is a D.J. If He Can't Scratch by Egyptian Lover (1984)

We also enjoy the jazz part at 1:22 but we searched a looooooooooot on blogs and forum without answers...
Now we got it! We use Logic for mixes and music production, and, scrolling the loop library, we found a loop called: 44th Street Long (into the jazz loop section). That's it!

3 is a Crowd did also a lot of remixes such as:
- Congorock - "Exodus (3IAC Back To Home Mix)"
- Useless Wooden Toys - "Fuckin' Business (3 Is A Crowd Columbia Mix)"
- Stereoheroes - "Washout (3 Is A Crowd Rmx) [Crux]"

Meanwhile they released different tracks, and they've signed a brand new EP that will be out on La Valigetta records label.

Stay tuned!
