This week's Recharge Sundaze explored the connections between Hip Hop, soul, funk, jazz and the art of sampling. Inspired by the most iconic Hip Hop samples of every year, the session moved between original recordings, flips, remixes and creative reworks that connect generations.
From James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Donald Byrd and Joe Sample to A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, J Dilla and Digable Planets, the mix celebrated the relationship between musical influences and the sounds built upon them.
For me, digging is about recognising connections, understanding history and appreciating how music evolves through sampling, reinterpretation and reinvention.
