If you haven't go listen to it, and go check out the whole album, it's full of absolute classics.
Anyways so I have been a bit bored musically lately, hadn't had much inspiration to make music and hadn't touched the keyboard in a month or so.
I came up with the idea to sample this song randomly, I got it into my head that I wanted to do some experimentations in combining the sampled production style of hip-hop with the euphoria and rhythm of EDM; at the roots this is how the pioneers of the genre made their music, but lately there's been a huge swing towards more synthwork and less sampling.
While hunting for suitable files I stumbled upon this goldmine playlist http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2C545033ECDD0767
After about 10 hours I got a first edit which ended up more like a proper remix rather than a sample, thanks to being able to go so much deeper into manipulating the piece.

Anyways just looking for some feedback, some friendly words, a troll or two, and to gloat that my beatblock is over
