'Police and Thieves' is a great track by Junior Murvin to get your riot themed playlist started.
Sunday Samples
Here at a fatmommas project we love sampling, it is a major part of hip hop culture and undeniably popular music now. Taking what is old, unheard of, or forgotten about and recreating something new is a major skill in itself. Artists such has J Dilla, Dj Shadow, Daft Punk and Dangermouse unashamedly use samples and have done it very well. A lot of people think it is illegal to sample, but it is not. Many of the original artist's receive royalties when their music is used and some even experience a boost or rebirth in their careers. Whole genres like drum and bass have immerged around particular drum loops and samples, so who knows with todays technology what new style sampling could bring. If you are into hip hop and/or classic soul check out the live mix in the link above. This mix reminds us why we love the music we love and do the things we do here at a fatmommas project. The mix contains heaps of original breaks and samples and was done with original vinyl pressings by the infamous Dj Sheep At Weird Gear in Brisbane. Check him out if you get a chance.
