sampledelia and reggaeton cut-ups
Derek Walmsley
Interesting, flashback inducing,
idea-gestating piece by Simon Reynolds on
sample epiphanies.
My most recent sample epiphany was finally finding something which,
cut-up wise, finally measures up to classic period 'ardkore for
sheer dirty, use and abuse sample genius. Wayne Marshall indirectly pointed me
in their direction, by bigging them up in a forthcoming Duke
University book about reggeaton.
These reggaeton mixes by DJ Playero are the missing link between DJ
Muggs and DJ Crystl:
DJ Playero 37
(Side A)
DJ
Playero 37 (Side B)
DJ Playero
38
Postscript: it seems Wayne Marshall has handily just put a mix up on his site of versions
of the Dem Bow rhythm, the foundational track of all reggaeton. Not
since the Amen break has one track (originally by Shabba Ranks)
been so responsible for so much music...
