Podcast exclusive: Carlo – Vol.888 Mix

A while back, our good friend Carlo contacted us about doing an old skool, pause-button style mix of tracks he’d sampled, along with tracks the likes of Sixtoo, Four Tet and others had sampled too. Knowing how much Carlo knows his stuff in this area, we said a hearty “sure!” and waited to hear the result….

So, a couple of weeks back we got this, and decided that it was something best dished up as a podcast-only affair, for one simple reason: it warrants more than just one quick airing on the radio show. This is one of those mixes you have to listen to 10 times before you even get halfway to spotting all the samples in it. In fact, quite aside from the musical excellence, it could almost be a challenge: name the samples!

Anyways, sit back and enjoy what we think is an incredible tour of the music that inspired the songs. To us, this kind of mix acts as much as a document, showing the material your favourite artists were loving enough to sample and re-mould into their own creations. Fine stuff, we hope you’ll agree…

    [...] Back in November 2007, Bully Records’ alumni Carlo sent us a mix, entitled Vol.888. It was a pause-tape style mix, and showcased a bunch of obscure tracks, some of which had been sampled by the likes of Four Tet and Sixtoo. With no tracklisting offered, it was almost like a sample spotters’ challenge, dropping song after song where you thought “goddamn… where have I heard that before??”. Quite aside from that element of course, it was also a stellar selection. [...]
