  • Music Without Frontiers - Part 2

    Or, 'How A Ferry In Sydney Harbour Changed The Course of Music'!

    The Lowdown continues its investigation into the development of audio technology & its influence upon pushing the boundaries of music production, the formation of new genres & the creation of a new landscape for 'sampling'.

    In this episode, we sift through many tracks, learning how sampling became fashionable & hit the mainstream.

    We uncover how the two most famous sampled drum breaks of all time - 'The Funky Drummer Break' & 'The Amen Break' -  helped create the tracks we all know & love, for artists like Public Enemy, George Michael, Madonna, Salt-N-Pepa, Calvin Harris, composer Angelo Badalamenti of hit TV series 'Twin Peaks' & a host of others.

    EPISODE BONUS:

    Continuing The Lowdown into sampling, we dissect the 1999 landmark album 'Play' by Moby & learn how & why his music was a prime example of a musician willing to not only adopt new technology but more importantly, continue to create music without frontiers.
