The Wonders of Samples & Cuts

Hello all...just thought I'd take a quick minute to reveal the wonders of modern music production - just have a listen to how the hip hop producer A-Plus takes a sample from an old jazz tune: "Heather" by Billy Cobham, and creates a classic hip hop beat for Souls of Mischief's "93 Til Infinity"...

Skip to about 4:20 for the original sax cut taken by A-Plus:



Here's the hip hop adaptation - the emceeing itself doesn't really do the beat justice, but it's still worth a listen:



Matthias Meyer then takes the sample from 93 Til Infinity, and produces one of my favourite house tunes of all time: "Infinity" - released on Liebe Detail...



Nothing crazy here, I just think it's a great example of good sampling by two producers of different genres, and of course how it brings together my two favourite schools of music!
