ahoy!

welcome to Battle 12. The sample for this battle comes from the Japanese guru Yosui Inoue. I grabbed one of his LPs off my mate the other day for sampling...thought the horns on this particular track could provide for some dope beats.

Song (Yosui Inoue - (japanese title)):

Drums (U2 - Bullet in the Blue Sky break):

dude this sounds ill!
i really like the rapid, punchy percussion
some sweet change-ups too, not repetitive at all

damn drewzle, that was the toughest shit I flipped out of the 12 battles. at least the drums were free

drewzle and IIIII you guys flipped it nice.

sorry man, didn't mean to make it tough

sounds like you managed though, your beat is sick. the chops reminds me of Premo

its all good -I like them kinda battles. never had to flip it that much with the FX. I love it.

drewzle · Post by **drewzle** » Sun Feb 03, 2008 1:13 am

"I love that sample! If you like that, Drewzle, you should check out Pugh Rogefeldt. He's a swedish pop star from the 70's. Very awesome sample.

When's deadline? I've been playing shows all week and just logged on here first time in forever..."

georgesebrazil - deadline is this coming Saturday, plenty of time to have a go : )

i'll definitely check out Pugh Rogefeldt, cheers for the recommendation...
