    S3 E2 - Osmar Milito, by Madlib

    Season 3 episode 2 has me talking a lot about the music of Brazil as we look at Madlib's sample of Osmar Milito and Quartete Forma's "America Latina" for the song Raid by Madvillain (MF DOOM, Madlib) and M.E.D.

    S2 E10 - Cos, by Dan The Automator

    This week, we look at the unique style of Dan The Automator with his sampling of Cos' "Ixelles" for the trip-hop song "Sunshine" from his project with Prince Paul, Handsome Boy Modeling School. That was a mouthful. Please enjoy learning about a cool lesser-known band and a quirky record producer in this season 2 finale.

    S2 E9 - Beach House, by The Weeknd

    This week, we look at one of my favorite stories of the last few years of sampling, how The Weeknd producer Zodiac/Jeremy Rose helped make the career of R&B singer Abel Tesfaye, who proceeded to do nothing else like his initial release and disappoint us all. That's right, it's the House of Balloons episode, discussing the song "The Party" and its sampling of Beach House's song "Master Of None". This drama-filled episode is one of my favorites I've ever produced.

    S2 E7 - Smokey and The Miracles, by J Dilla

    This month's episode has us looking at an unnamed beat from a J Dilla beat tape that Elzhi used for "Love Is Here", remaking it and cleaning it up with the sample, Smokey Robinson And The Miracles' "Much Better Off".

    S2 E6 - Ronnie Foster, by A Tribe Called Quest

    This month's episode has us looking at A Tribe Called Quest's "Electric Relaxation" and the three samples it uses to make up its soundscape, but most notably the incredibly memorable "Mystic Brew" composed by organist Ronnie Foster.
