Brand Old Sample rules:
On a weekly basis I bless you with a classic cut that has been sampled. More likely you will recognize the remake but be unfamiliar with the original source material.
It is your job to tell me the name of the original song and who performed it. If your the first person to respond correctly I will give you a shout out on the following Tuesday. Check back next week when I will reveal the song name and the performing artist.

I just wanted to report back with everyone that I picked up our friend Joe’s audio interface and doing work in the studio. It sounds really great t0o! It was super easy to install and set up and the best part is that it’s non-propreitary. I can easily jump from program to program, and open them in what ever order i want, with no worries that my interface will bark warnings and error messages at me.
Do you use an audio interface if you make music? Are you satisfied with it or do you not have one because you find them unnecessary? I am curious to know.

In celebration of Mick Boogie’s event with NERD for the Sony Ericsson Open Kick Off Party in Miami (during WMC-week) … a dope mix containing all-things-Pharrell. From hard to find Neptunes rarities and remixes to the best N.E.R.D. songs, and much more. This is the soundtrack to summer, whether you’re in Miami or not. Enjoy!
