Sample connections

All roads lead to disco. Here's a few songs and their samples exposed:



Samples the Whatnauts' Help is on the way and reinterpretates the vocal line from Curiosity Killed the Cat's Name and number. There's probably quite a few other samples in there, too.



Armand and A-Trak use a genious sample of a tune from a band no one would dare to admit liking: Boney M.

I'll also leave this last disco song here. It was recently used by a very well known artist here in Finland, but I'd rather let you join the dots.



BTW, check the updated gig calendar on the left. And have a nice week.

Sexy mess of a video

You gotta love this one. One of the biggest songs of the last year, with a defo video.

Feel good hits of the summer

Just a post summarizing the big hits of summer 09.



By the combined force of A-Trak & Armand van Helden, which equals to Duck Sauce. Even if this one is still waiting to be released in a vinyl format, it's already huge. I've heard it played in so many dj sets around here. Disco sample muscled and sped up for the dance floor is such a winning recipe.

The other big disco song has been this Eli Escobar remix of an old Stevie Nicks classic. Check the video here. Such a meaningful tune with emotional singing performance by Nicks. Stands out real good from the usual disco lyrics, which are pretty upbeat but a bit tacky.

The last one is an old one that has been dug up this summer, first by Swedish dj's, then a few tastemaking Helsinki dj's and later by everybody else. It's Magnus Uggla's Sommertid.



By the way, all of the above have been spotted from blogs/forums a good while back. It's the internet-age, baby.
