Who Sampled!

/in , /by

As DJ’s a lot of the guys often find themselves asking “what track is that” or “Who sampled that” well that question is no longer needed to be asked as we have found a really cool app that does all that for you it’s called “WhoSampled”

With this app you are able to discover what a track is and who sampled it. You can scan your own Apple Music/Spotify and iTunes libraries for lists of samples, covers and remixes all within the app.

The app then pulls up a lot of information on the tracks for example:

Where was this song sampled?

Who covered my favorite artists?

What remixes were made for this track?

The best music discovery tool for all DJ’s out there or anyone who is deep into music!

The app even has a “Now Playing” feature if you’re on iOS allows you to switch from your music player to WhoSampled to discover all the musical connections for the song you’re listening to.

Luke Cage on Netflix!

/in , /by

Marcus has been really poorly this week so between stabbing pens in pineapples and listening to music on his Bragi Dash in the shower, he has been binging on the Luke Cage series on Netflix. He was not dissapointed! So much so he went ahead and bought the killer soundtrack that goes along with it.

If you don’t know what or who Luke Cage is here is some information for you to learn.

Situated within the Marvel Universe, Luke Cage, is a former bad guy convict who is now on the other side of the law and fighting crime. Sounds pretty normal right? Well Luke Cage is a superhero with incredible amounts of strength and not only can he outlift you in the gym but he has unbreakable skin. Practically making him unstoppable.

 

The music is just as good as the show itself, featuring music from hip hop giants such as A Tribe Called Quest and Wu-Tang Clan. The shows composers Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad were aiming for a hip hop influence stating that “It was about getting that hip-hop foundation and making sure those drums were as big as day,”  even go as far as naming the episode titles with hip hop references.
