I’m still trying to figure out how to make a podcast, and this is supposed to be the first “show”. UB doesn’t have a radio station, and I was sort of hoping for one which was the main impetus for this experiment. I’m trying a few things out here: sampling, mixing, fashioning a theme that doesn’t necessarily have to do with the current season. For this one, I tried to compile tracks that use short vocal samples as the base of bigger pop jams. There are so many wonderful artists influenced by the Avalanches/the Field/J Dilla working lately, transforming 1-10 second RnB/Soul vocal samples into breathy, dark, lush pop songs. I’m such a sucker for them.
