What we got here is a short documentary on hip hop’s recent love affair with sampling 70’s French funk/disco act Cortex. Alain Mion and his music have been used by some of hip-hop's brightest stars including Rick Ross, Drake, Wiz Khalifa, MF DOOM, Lil B, Captain Murphy and Tyler, the Creatorbut that’s just a sample of the 36 plus artists who have added a little French to their U.S.A. Minion shares his feelings on sampling including how he feels about the financial aspect of it, which at the age of 67 provides a very healthy income. The documentary doesn't really go into specifics of what was sampled and how it’s been reprocessed to fit the radio hits of today but that’s what I’m here for so you can check both the documentary and samples specifics below…

Hunters &
Collectors' 1982 track "Talking to a Stranger"
get’s the remix from fellow countrymen The Avalanches. The track is set to
appear on Crucible: The Songs of
Hunters & Collectors (out September 27 via Liberation Music). No word on the ever-delayed
sophomore Avalanches LP but this remix hits all the sweet spots.

Fuse TV’s Crate Diggers is a fun show if you are into
collecting music, and as you can image pretty much everyone at Onomatopoeia is.
I thought I would throw up two recent episodes of the show featuring two
collectors who are widely known for their obsessive and impressive vinyl
collections. We start things off with Cut Chemist of the Jurassic 5 who speaks
from the Stable, aka his vault of vinyl where he shares his experiences and
stories from a lifetime of digging, revealing rare treasures, his method of
organizing, and growing up as a DJ in a musical household.
DJ Z-Trip rounds out the second video with a discussion on
his 60 thousand or so records. The DJ is quite humorous about things revealing
that he lost a many a girlfriends over his collection often spending vacations
searching for record stores instead of on the beach! Like the Chemist video Z
shares his preferred method of organizing his collection, BPM’s, as well as
stories about his first record ever purchased, his most expensive record, show
vinyl, mixing and collecting rock over the more popular jazz and funk and why
he is known as the king of the dollar.
