I first heard of Hablando by Ramirez on Journey’s By DJ Paul Oakenfold CD way back in 1994. It’s that building dreamy progressive trance that once you hear you’ll get caught up in it’s magic euphoric sounds and not want to stop listening to it. The Paul Oakenfold mix was pretty darn good and I’d listen to the whole thing and start over again. So I loved this mix and I loved Hablando by Ramirez.

So then we have a remake here by Vandalism. It’s quite similar but lot more clubby. Gone are the dreamy quality of the original but made quite more upbeat and more electro. Vandalism have just adapted the classic trance track to todays ears. It works for clubs and driving in cars. It’s an all classic trance cut waiting to be made and finally it’s been brought back to life.

Funny thing was I recently downloaded the new album by In-Grid. Ok I do like my pop dance music and noticed that Le Dragueur by In-Grid has a sample of the classic Ramirez track Hablando. This I absolutely love as they’ve taken a portion of the most famous part from Hablando and incorporated it into it’s own original song. Le Dragueur off of the album Passion by In-Grid. Enjoy all three!

Here’s a fun bouncy track that does a great job at sampling Deee-Lite’s hit from the early 90s, Groove Is In The Heart. The track Broke basically uses a loop of the main beat/bassline from Groove Is In The Heart and adds some touches of Latin influenced beats and makes it into a cool fun lounge style upbeat cut. Sneaky Fox has other cool cuts that are certainly worth checking into when you have a chance. So once I heard this cut I’m sure more interested in what else they’ve released!

Sampling Duran Duran on Baby Steps works excellently here. The opening beats to Duran Duran’s classic 80s new wave song Wild Boys is sampled on Baby Steps by DJ Sneak a full on club house track. The samples from D2s song starts Baby Steps off then ventures into a very 90s flavored house tune with full of energy. The samples come back in during the extension of the track but basically DJ Sneak has used it to get Baby Steps off the ground. Check out both tracks below … The Wilder Than Wild Boys Extended Mix and the original album version of Baby Steps from DJ Sneak.

I Thought It Was You still sounds fresh like it did back in 1997 and it’s one of my favorite recordings of all time if we’re speaking of house music. It’s up there. The guys from Full Intention have taken on the alias of Sex-O-Sonique and have sampled a perfect track for this release. It is damn quite amazing. It was released by the late great FFRR label that was owned by Pete Tong. Well at least I think it’s late and great as I have not seen any releases from them as of late. Either way enjoy this track as it’s one of my faves and hear the origins of where the track comes from by Herbie Hancock.

One listen to Slave from Magnum 38 and you’ll immediately think Booty Bass shaking piece of music it is. Slave is from a tribute album to Grace Jones along with several other but I found Slave to be the most approachable followed right up with Suffer. I don’t really recognize any of the tracks on the ep except for this track Slave. It’s quite repetitive but in a good way with lots of deep, heavy bass which is meant to be heard in a loud, dark club. Some of the music is sort of on the leftfield with lots of nasty attitude. Those of you Grace Jones fans might not really dig it but hey if you have an open mind you might. Check it out it will grow on you. And you’ll really hear the sounds of Berlin blasting at you as that’s where Magnum 38‘s from! Makes sense including the album artwork!

Check them out below both the original Slave to the Rhythm and Slave by Magnum 38. It’s a perfect track for DestroyRockAndRoll.com! Be sure to catch videos to both Slave To The Rhythm by Grace Jones and Und? by Magnum 38 below as well.

The Flirts, the one hit wonder all girl disco 80s group produced by Bobby O that’s only known for their one hit Jukebox do have other songs. One being Passion. It’s quite a cool track dating back to the early 80s. Felix Da Housecat perfecly sampled the bassline from Passion by The Flirts in his very popular hit Silver Screen Shower Scene from his amazing album Kittenz And Thee Glitz. The sample works perfectly here and compliments Miss Kittin’s quirky accented singing.

Check them both out below, you’ll realize once you hear The Flirts and you’ll hear where the sample for Silver Screen Shower Scene comes from. Both very cool!

Disco will never go out of style! It’s here to stay forever and ever. That’s why musicians keep sampling famous tracks over and over again from the disco era! So Richard Dorfmeister (aka Kruder & Dorfmeister) and Madrid De Los Austrias have done an excellent sampling job on their track Boogie No More sampling the classic disco song Boogie Oogie Oogie by A Taste Of Honey. It’s perfect here and the Reverso 68 Remix is just awesome! The single also includes a Kraak & Smaak remix which is also pretty darn good. The Kraak & Smaak remix is a little more on the big beat side which makes both remixes completely different.

Check them both out below and while you are at it enjoy this live performance of A Taste Of Honey on youtube.

I think Mylo’s album Destroy Rock And Roll is genius! I’m mean come on? I’ve got a whole website named after it right? I think it’s one of the best albums of the 2000′s. It’s perfection and this track In My Arms is a great example of a sampling job done perfectly. Mylo has taken the classic Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes and made his own song In My Arms. I’m sure most of you have heard it but did you know it contained a sample of the high energy pop song Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes? Well now you do. Check them out both below and you’ll see.

Bette Davis Eyes is off of Kim’s Mistaken Identity album from 1981. Almost 30 years old now. I was only 10! Enjoy.

Pretty cool sampling job by Blue Boy for the track Remember Me. Blue Boy is Scottish DJ, Alexis ‘Lex’ Blackmore and this is his one and only hit. This one dates back to 1997 so it’s 12 years old now but the sample is a live version of Marlena Shaw’s Woman Of The Ghetto. The live album it comes from is Live In MontreauxThis live version of Woman Of The Ghetto was pretty popular for sampling back in the late 90s and early 2000s. It was also sampled by St. Germain for this Rose Rouge track off of Tourist. Very cool stuff. Check out both Blue Boy and original live version of Women Of The Ghetto below. The samples is basically Marlena Shaw singing … “Remember me … I’m the one who had your babies”. It’s perfect. The song reached pretty high in the charts in the UK but here in the states it was pretty underground.

Here’s a pretty darn good sample of the Hall & Oates track I Can’t Go For That in Simply Red’s track Sunrise. The song itself is really good and the sample of the Hall & Oates track I Can’t Go For That just works perfectly. Some of the lyrics to Sunrise changes over to the Hal & Oates song in Sunrise and comes back to the Sunrise lyrics. So it’s well done. This track Sunrise is off of the Simply Red album Home. A perfect blend of vocal R&B, pop and jazziness. The singles from the release including Sunrise and also Home and Fake all have remixes available. All are available for download from your favorite download store like Amazon, Emusic and iTunes!

For now check out both Sunrise and I Can’t Go For That below and feel free to comment. Before you do that check out the video for Sunrise here …
