SSC#118 Alpha Tango (Assassin's Arm Fall Off Flip)

Sunday Sample Crunch Week 125: Patricia Rushen - Settle for my love (1979).

Sweet soul sample, dripping in cute vocals. Cut up here and messed with but ran out of time. Too much to play with here!! Great sample.

EDIT - I uploaded a slightly 'cleaner' version. 

Here's the original on the tubes:

Sunday Sample Crunch Week 132: Yadokari by Kaji Meiko off her Zhenkyoku Shu album.

Crazy good Japanese sample this week. Beautiful vocals and lots of stringy bits to play with. Second time I've flipped this. Added some Ghostdog vocals and then a little something extra later on.

Revengeful Ghost (Arm Fall Off SSC#132 Meiko Flip)

Sunday Sample Crunch Week 138: Yao Su Rong - Don't Be Afraid Shan Shan (1960's) Taiwanese singer.

Citizen Above - Arm Fall Off Ennio Morricone SSC#156 Flip

Sunday Sample Crunch 158/159: Busta's Ill Vibe, ft, Q-Tip and Bounty Killer Higher Grade Forever.

Honestly, I'd already started using this Q-tip sample for last week's crunch, so it meant a two-in-one special! Could barely use the Bounty Killer one, so added in some extras and got a lovely simple break looped and played with.

High Grade Vibes - Arm Fall Off SSC#158/159 Bounty Q-tip Flip

Remix using BDK acapella classic-ness. Repost/comment if you dig.

Big Daddy Kane - How You Get A Record Deal? (Arm Fall Off Remix)

Sunday Sample #166:Zafer Dilek - İntizar (1973)

Simple micro style approach - same tempo, grabbed a few choice loops and strapped some drums to it, effects/filters and a few extra samples where I could cram them in. :)

Zafer's Escape - Arm Fall Off (SSC#166 Z-Man Dilek Flip)

Heard some old school french hip-hop recently and wanted to recreate that epic sound. Tried vocals over it and it ended up spoiling the whole beat, 'like too much garlic', so took it out and kept it simple. 

Vocal snippets from Le Haine. Super dope haunting chorus vocals from...if you're french than i don't have to say, right? RIP to all those on MH17.

Grunwalski Est Mort De Froid (Arm Fall Off Première Classe Flip)

Sunday Sample Week 169: Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids - Creativity.

Old vintage tv show sounds to play with this week. Good call, brother Vibes. Layered them over some old italian drums and 'waaaweeewaaahooo' guitar samples. 

I Wanna Play It (Arm Fall Off SSC#169 Fat Albert Flip)

SSC#187: ACAPELLA - MED (madlib & Blu) - "Peroxide"

Always dig these blu/med acapellas - didn't use all of it and came out a bit rushed at the end with bits to fix, so comment if you spot anything and i'll add it to my second pass list.

Oh and couldn't resist using lovely old Japanese sample with it.


Peroxide Kid (Arm Fall Off SSC#187 Flip)

I do not own the copyright to this unbelievably excellent track. This is for the love of music only, nothing commercial and go hunt down the original LP please!

This is such a glorious tune, I had to make it a tiny bit longer..just an edit, not a remix..

Soulful Strings - Wade In The Water (extended edit)

A straight-forward rearrangement of an absolutely classic soul track. Well, ok, a couple of minor changes but not much. Honest. Work-in-progress but couldn't resist innit!

Labi Siffre 'I Got The' (Arm Fall Off Edit)

Instrumental version of a SSC beat (203). Cleaned up and re-upped. Samples from a bollywood thriller. PM if you want to use it.

Bollyhood - Arm Fall Off Boy

SSC#230 Microflips!! Just about squeezed this one into my evening - a bit choppy but you get the idea.

Sample = Doris & Kelley - You Don't Have To Worry
This soul 45 seems to be Doris & Kelly's only release on Brunswick Records (1967). Sampled by Common "Sweet"

SSC#230 Microflip - Udon Worry (Afob Crispy Flip)

Remix of a brilliant Al Green tune - a basic chop-up, sampling the original with only addition being the drums (taken from another classic Green tune 'Glad You're Mine') and questionable bass. ;)

I don't own the copyright to the original Al Green track - please message me if you would like it to be removed. Hope it warms your ears a little! :D



Al Green - Simply Beautiful (Arm Fall Off Edit)

Sunday Sample Crunch Wee 232: Knowledge Born acapella week

Had a sick day, so spent a few hours putting this nifty acapella onto an old italian sample/break. Came out OKish. 

Take - Arm Fall Off (feat. Knowledge Born SSC#232 Flip)

Another pass on the Gang Starr remake - cleaned up a little, with fixed swing on drums and shortened a little. Absolutely loved putting this together.

Note: it becomes more like a remix about a minute in. :)

Used the original Monk Higgins Little Apple sample, freshly chopped up and served with a dashing of synthetic substitution drums (the latter in my best attempt to play/emulate drums something like Premo - obviously impossible!).

Gang Starr - Code Of The Streets Redux (Little Apple Arm Fall Off Remake CLEAN))

Sunday Sample Crunch Week 29: Julie Christie Tribute.

This week it's a brilliant sample - Ennio Morricone "La Lucertola" used in "Lizard In A Woman's Skin" (1971) "Una lucertola con la pelle di donna".

More like this please. 

SSC#29 - L Is For Lizard Lady (Arm Fall Off La Lucertola Remix)

Sunday Sample Crunch Week 30: Barato Total - Gal Costa.

Super-tricky Brazilian 70's tune to chop up, here's a fumbling work-in-progress. Hey at least I tried (and went off on a tangent too). ;)

SSC#30 - The Brazilian (Arm Fall Off Gal Costa Remix)

Loved the piano & strings in this Italian 1970's track by Piero Piccioni so chopped & sampled it, adding drums/harmonies & various other stuffs.

Work in progress. ;)

Piano Love (Arm Fall Off Piero Piccioni Remix)

Sunday Sample Crunch 36: Ring Christmas Bells - Ray Conniff (1963).

Slightly cleaned up Christmas bell-based special. Lovely dark version by Conniff. Added drums etc, bass from e.v.a and some other little related bits (bonus guru vocals roughly thrown in at the end :P).

Original here on the tubes:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcWekEVkxVg

SSC#36 - The Bells (Arm Fall Off Ray Conniff Remix v2)

Reshaped version of Ray Conniff's genius tune. Added drums, flutes (sampled from Herb Mann), filters, various effects and a few other things...

Green Flowers (Arm Fall Off Conniff Remix)

Sunday Sample Crunch Week 38: The sample was 'Truth - See You Later'.

Used vocals from this, added new drums and effects and threw in some lovely 1970's italian samples too as I wasn't a big fan of the original Truth track.

SSC#38 - The Alligator (Arm Fall Off Truth Remix)

Sunday Sample Crunch Week 41: Darondo - Didn't I (1973).

Brilliant sample, lots of lovely loops. First heard this tune on Breaking Bad a few years ago. This track was remastered and released on the LP 'Listen to my Song, the Music City sessions' last year (2011).

Original sample here on the tubes:

Sunday Sample Crunch Week 42: "Quarteto Em Cy - Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser" (1965).

Gorgeously dope old Brazilian sample to play with this week. Almost too many juicy bits to use and ended up being a bit messy/'busy'. Maybe one to return too! ;)

Original sample here:

Sunday Sample Crunch Week 43: 'Ananda Shankar - Night In the Forest' (1981)

WOW. This sample was a real fricken delight. Loved it. Added not much - drums/effects/filters etc.

Original sample here on the tubes:

SSC#43 - Twilight Forest (Arm Fall Off Ananda Shankar Night Flip)

Beautiful old Japanese sample (was going to try and use this alongside the most recent eastern themed SSC challenge but decided to do an entirely new track) that I couldn't resist playing with. 

Added the usual drums, effects/filters and a little sentimental sadness inspired from a Japan-obsessed friend who isn't here anymore.

Ghost in Kyoto (Arm Fall Off Naka Edition)

Little flip of a lovely old eastern track (possibly Egyptian, will have to check!). 

Vizier of the Maharajah

Sunday Sample Cranch Week 107: Amplify Dot - King Kong acapella

Nifty UK vocalist acapella to work with this week. Found a few spare hours in the midst of exam/project horror. Went for a 80's themed beat. 

EDIT - Did another little pass on this one to rearrange some of the vocals.

SSC#107 - Amplify Dot - King Kong (Arm Fall Off Remix)

London born & based beat-maker.

Started playing around with music software in early summer 2011, originally with Garageband and then Logic Pro. 

Obsessed with 70's music (funk/soul/film scores) and 90's hiphop. Likes moonlit strolls and the occasional glass of Honey Jack Daniels to boost super-powers.
