    Episode 1.10: NILE RODGERS PT. 2

    WE MADE IT. This is the final episode of season 1, the second part to the two part finale that we started last week with the story of Nile Rodgers. If you haven't listened to last week's part one yet, stop now, go listen, then come back. In this episode we continue with the story of Nile Rodgers picking up exactly where we left off last week, on the day of the release of Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang. At the end of the episode I give my thesis for the season as a whole, tying together, and wrapping up, the entire season. Don't worry, we'll be back in a few months for what's sure to be an exciting season 2.  Huge credit to the book Last Night a DJ Saved My Life by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton which provided a huge portion of the background research for these last two episodes. Anyone who wants to know more about these topics has to read their amazing work.  Don't forget to check out the playlists containing the songs from today's episode on Apple Music and Spotify under the title 'Sample Excavator Episode 1.10'.

    Episode 1.9: NILE RODGERS PT. 1

    The finish line is in sight. We are finally at the first part of the two part finale to season one of Sample Excavator. We are exploring the immense influence of Nile Rodgers in music for the finale. To do this, however, we first need to understand the entire history of 20th century music to understand the context of his sound. This episode will do just that, focusing on the history of music and specifically disco from 1968 to 1980. Next week will go from 1980 until today understanding how his sound shaped rock, hip-hop, pop, and EDM from 1980 until today. I'll release two playlists for this episode, one demonstrating the wide variety of Protodisco songs used by early club DJ's, and the second containing mainstream Disco songs spanning 1976-1979. These playlists can be found on Apple Music and Spotify under 'Sample Excavator Episode 1.9 (Protodisco)' and 'Sample Excavator Episode 1.9 (Disco)' Follow me on Twitter and Instagram @idigit1st  Follow the show on Twitter and Instagram @SampleExcavator  Email the show TheSampleExcavator@gmail.com  Produced by Guy Tannenbaum  Theme song by David Ramos   Next week is the final episode of this season, finishing out the story of Nile Rodgers by exploring his continued influence in rock, pop, and EDM, with some classic Angelo ranting thrown in for good measure. While season two won't be out for a few months, there is some special content coming your way in the off season, so stay tuned for that.  Part of Pantheon Podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Episode 1.6: YEAH! WOO!

    For the first time I am tackling a song in the top 10 most sampled of all time list. In fact this week's sample has been used in 2340 other songs in the last decade, making it the third most sampled song of all time. It has been used in 60+ songs in 2019 alone, making it one of the most enduring samples in history. I can't go through all 2300+ uses but I try to break down the most notable and most obscure uses in order to give a complete overview of this legendary sample.
