"Joe Sample" (Volume 3, "Hip-Hop is Not Dead!")
September 13, 2008 03:06 PM PDT
Open a nice bottle of Merlot, sit back, and enjoy these great and diverse samples. It still amazes me how deep these Hip-Hop producers search for their "Diamond's in the rough" searching high and low through dusty record stores to find that perfect beat. This playlist starts off with Hip-Hop biggest and best posse, The Wu-tang Clan as they sample The Charmels. From there Styles P samples Freda Payne and The great Dr. Dre samples the jazzy David McCallum. Nas proclaims "Hip-Hop is Dead" as he samples The Incredible Bongo Band. Then We have: ATCQ sampling a rare version of the song "Red Clay." The Beastie Boys always do their thing, The Fugees found some smooth Enya and Erick B. and Rakim borrow from James Brown's buddy Bobby Byrd. As you can tell, I really got into this type of "musicology." This is what tore me away from House Music during the 90's. I hope you Enjoy the Music as much as I do! djs Fix

"Real DJ's use Real Needles!" (Save the WAX)...This CD is hittin very hard from all angles. I have played this mix in my truck for a few years now, and it has always delivered. Fix starts off with some tribal and upbeat trax and flows with a remix from Jill Scott and goes even higher with the jam "Sunshine" from Blaze.

This CD is being dedicated to King Britt. I heard him spin at Atlanta's MJQ around the time I bought these tunes and recorded this mix. He played one of the best DJ set's I have ever heard. He was like an artist slowly painting his picture, and by the time he brought the dance floor to the Apex, I was almost in tears! (Off the chain...)

In 2005, I traveled to the "Chi" quite a bit. The food, the friends and the waterfront were all great but venturing into the cut to find rare dance grooves was my favorite.

This CD is laced with tracks from one of my all time favorite artist, Larry Heard. The tempo is a little slower and grooves a bit more jazzy than most of my mixes but with songs by Atjazz and Seasons this set has become one of my favorites.

Podcast SummaryDeep and Soulful groves with a touch of Old School... About DaveI was 13 years old when I first saw it. 2 turntables and that "beautiful" mixer. It just seemed like the whole world to me at the time: 1980, in Detroit Mich. A factory driven town that produced a style all its own. Especially when it came to music. In the "D" we did it like no other! "Progressive" was the music of choice, it consisted of any type of music that was dance floor friendly, from Was Not Was' "Wheel me Out" to Roy Ayers "Runnin Away" to The Skatt Bros. "Walk the Night" to D-Train's "You're The One for Me." Throughout the early 80's being a DJ gained you more "props" than being the Quaterback on the local high school football team. This was still before the term "House Music" was being used. The "D" was the place to be with its backyard parties and local social clubs: Ciabattino, Gables, Bratts, Hardware, Snobbs, Twinz and Comrades to name a few. To hear this music on a regular basis you had to know or have access to a "Hot DJ" who could make you a tape. The radio had nothing to do with this movement, which to me was part of the appeal. Out of this era birthed legendary DJ's: The late, Ken Collier, Charles Hicks, Delano Smith, Kevin Dysard, Ray Berry, Alen Easter, and Ron Scott who was one of my mentors. I was a kid in a candy store playing records with these guys and co-founding Comrades with my boy Marv. I put down the turntables for a while in college, a move that I will always regret. I didn't get back into it 'till 2000. A visit to the Detroit Electronic Music Festival and checking out Theo Parrish (He "crushed it!") spurred my interest again. These playlists are mostly from that 2000-2004 time period... Please enjoy as I share one of my true loves: "M-U-S-I-C deep inside of me, Music!" (D-Train) Fans of this Show
