A4 is also a KRS-ONE track with the wobbly "woah-yoyo" sample that features in Here comes the Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze
A5 sounds very James Brown-esque
A10 is Money - Charli Baltimore (heard that bassy hook in other records too, though)
A11 - Pick up the pieces - AWB
A12 - I swear I've heard that before, does it have the line "funkier than a mosquito's tweeter"? If so I have it *somewhere*
A17 has Sex Machine - James Brown right at the end of it.
A23 Get up - Vernon Burch
A24 has elements from Groove is in the heart by Dee-Lite (awesome track)
A32 has a elements that sound a lot like a Chemical Brothers track (like Song to the siren perhaps)
A52 has part of another Chemical Brothers track (the 'brothers gonna work it out' part) amd part of the siren sound effect in 53 is from the same track I think.
A59 has me thinking of the theme from Shaft
A66 has the slowed down part from A4 that I though sounded like a KRS-ONE track (which ties in with what AlexJ said about the following track).
Of course, bear in mind that some of the tracks have hooks that have been sampled over and over, so sometimes it is hard to know which song was the original and which 'borrowed' the sample, or if they both 'borrowed' it from someone else in the first place. I recognised many pieces of the various tracks but putting a name on it isn't so easy. Some of these tracks I have on my ipod at the moment too.
Some of that music, especially the earlier funk/soul/blaxploitation like tracks sounds pretty damn neat, I like.
I have similar tracks on a selection I downloaded called "pimp classics" which I can upload at some point, care to trade for rips of your mix CDs? I also have some "superfly soul" compilations I could whack on the FTP.
Also, have you thought about trying to get in touch with the DJ to ask him what some of the tracks are?
Hope I helped a bit, if they are wrong.... um..... tough, I suppose![]()
