Episode notes
This week, we’re wrapping up the third edition of The Art of Sampling and talking about Slum Village’s album Fantastic, Vol. 2 with music exec and writer, Dan Charnas. We discuss J Dilla’s sampling techniques, the great lengths the label went through to keep this project under wraps, and the influence of Dilla on future beatmaking.
