back to the roots: samples special

Codeine Drums // 22.02.10 // Back To The Roots: Samples Special

Samples are those looping breaks, chopped & mixed up, to make the beats that are the backbone of countless hip hop classics.

This week, we've got n hour of the records that made The Records, if you get what we mean....

everyone from Ike Turner to Funkadelic and a lil bit of The Isley Brothers will be played out.

See if you can catch the sample in amongst the sounds.... here's to history and its constant re-making.

2010 is ours for the taking

Codeine Drums // 11.01.10

Heeey what's good listeners?!

I am in total belief that 2010 is going to be an incredible year for quality, exciting and innovative hip hop, rap and electronic music. Where it is all too easy to get lost in a sea of weakly-composed autotune club space fillers rather than dancefloor stompers, there are some genuine lights of the coming year that are getting me hyped for some beautiful hip hop. Scotland is taking over the world with super-label Numbers taking over 2010 in terms of electronic joints that will have you furiously searching blogs for dodgy mp3s of future club hits, LuckyMe is the biggest fuggin thing in the world and has every credible chin-stroker music fan ooing and aaahing from behind their screens, and a whole host of rappers and producers are getting me excited for the coming months - see Jay Electronica, Mos Def, The Cool Kids, new Erykah Badu.. even what the hell the nutty machine that is Young Money is gonna come up with next ha. Tune in MONDAYS 2-3 for future hip hop, rap, dubstep, electronic and beat classics, white labels, sneaky unreleased joints and mixtape exclusives straight off the blogs. You have been warned, the Drums is back.

all my love
