Re: (313) hip hop sampling detroit (was: Brandy/producers of pop that go the extra mile)

the original from J-lo/Beatnuts is:

Light, Enoch Orchestra
Disco Disque Project 3: (? 1975)
* Hi-Jack
Jennifer Lopez's Jenny From The Block

these may (?) be cases where the sample actually comes from the 2nd
generation track and not the original, and therefore it's not listed even if
it's cleared and some royalties are passed down the line...

 a lack of originality, but hardly stealing from the

yeah--I was just venting really.

I do think the fact that I'm working as a DJ in new york (as opposed to
Canberra, etc) held me back (?) if only because there'd be too many
qualified applicants from 1 place...there was only 1 person from NY selected
as far as I know;  my friend Karla  she's certainly qualified.

I was pretty philosophical about the whole thing until this Detroit
Experiment came up. now i'm bitter =)

back on topic--- so is this strictly press release or has anybody actually
heard it?

 3 here had records out and had done events or nights, all were deep house

 There was a drum 'n' bass guy from Canberra and if you're from Canberra you

here in NY at least there was a bootleg house remix of Too High circulating
that was pretty popular--it was pretty minimal as I recall, just the
bassline/groove looped up into a house beat. it was a white label w/ no
artist info other than 'stevie wonder too high rmx' does that fit the
description? maybe someone else can fill in more behind the scenes info...

just to add another 2c to the trivia, 'sugar shack' was featured in the
opening sequences of the 70s sitcom good times which is probably what most
people associate it with,  why it's been re-used or ripped off for so many
videos/lp covers  // eddie



on 12/5/02 5:21 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 If we're talking about the same pictures then they're by an artist
 called Ernie Barnes who did quite a lot of album cover work,
 particularly during the seventies. For instance, the image that
 appears on the label of KDJ 6 - I Can't Kick This Feeling When It
 Hits/Music People (what an extraordinarily good 12 BTW) is taken
 from the cover of Marvin Gaye's 'I Want You' LP. The full picture is
 titled 'Sugar Shack' and is strangely reminiscent of the opening
 scenes in the video for Michael Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal', but
 maybe I should stop right there before I damage my limited cred any
 further Ernie Barnes' work can also be seen on the cover of
 Curtis Mayfield's 'Something To Believe In' as well as albums by
 Donald Byrd and The Crusaders.
 
 The Camp-Lo cover looks like a pastiche of 'Sugar Shack',
 particularly since Barnes' work is probably rather expensive. Is that
 album any good BTW?
 
 Dan
 
 hey guys... gals.  where do the illustrations on early KDJ EP's come from?

actually the phrase ...everyday of my life is from 'Let No Man Put

and I'm sure I've heard it used as a sample, although I'm not familiar
enough with the Metalheadz stuff to verify that it's the source for the DnB

2002-11-29 Thread Edwin Houghton
oops I know I'm a little late but I sent this earlier  it didn't go thru:

my 2c:

when I picked up SUN and read a random passage I thought it was going to be
really pretentious and I also immediately thought of DJ Spooky's
post-structuralist name dropping.

the dif. is that where spooky references ideas by people like Deleuze 
Guatari like he's showing off his comic book collection (sorry paul) Eshun
actually uses their strategies i.e. his whole approach is to make the book a
kind of neo-logism machine that churns out sci-fi metaphors on it's own...

1nce you accept that his approach is a kind of random mutation way of
generating ideas then you can accept the occasional wack attempts at
word-play as necessary by-products of a process that also achieves some
extremely important insights ( poetic language) ... more importantly
strategies for creating new music  art--which is the same way DG urge
their writing to be taken: as a toolbox of strategies from which you can
pick and choose the ones that work for you...or that you need for a
particular job

 he's pretty much obliged to write in such a bizarre scat-poetry style
 when talking about Drexciya, UR, Alice Coltrane and Parliament. A rock
 journalist writing yet another Beatles book has decades of cliches and
 reference points to rely on, but someone writing about Drexciya has no
 real precedent to rely upon. Eshun certainly did take it to the extreme,
 but I think you're right in that, amidst the prosaic flights of fancy,
 there are a number of very good and very big ideas which he manages to
 put across in that book.

 I have SUN and like it.  But with that said, I'm pretty sure that if Eshun

 Please remove me from the list.
 
 Then write a book called The 313 Reader.
