it takes two, samples & sampled by professor eddy
i was fooling around with samples and sampled songs and this one came about. the funny thing about the evasions track is that they quote quite a few songs, like ‘ring my bell’, ‘funkin’ for jamaica’ and ‘one nation under one groove’, but thirteen years later they were quoted themselves in ‘regulate’ by warren g (‘… funk, life is rhythm and rhythm is life’). ‘pump up the volume’ by m/a/r/r/s has so many samples, so i picked out a few, like ‘the jam’, ‘it’s just begun’ and ‘holy ghost’ by bar-kays. the bar-kays were sampled by fila brazilia as well (in a very subtle way)
