Maureen Yancey, mother of legendary Hip Hop producer J Dilla, has started selling individual records straight from Dilla’s vinyl collection. For $34, you get an LP & certificate of authenticity signed by Ms Yancey.
Scorpio61 has come through with another of his world renowned sample mixes. Unfortunately there is no tracklisting for this one, but as always he comes through with some great music to listen to.
Also, from this point on ALL SAMPLE RELATED STUFF will be hosted on SATURDAYMORNINGSAMPLES.COM. I decided to keep the real articles and content separate from the free download sample stuff. All the Saturday Morning Sample stuff will show up in the center column to let you know when there is new stuff.
I’m also cleaning things up around here. Going to revamp the video section and Sample Matrix a bit. So it should be easier for you guys to move around the site more easily & get the info you need.

Quentin Tarantino, in conjunction with Little Steven’s Underground Garage put together a great podcast, which features the entire Django Unchained soundtrack with additional commentary from Quentin Tarantino. Interesting to hear some insight from QT to see where he was coming from when he chose the songs he chose for Django. He tells some great stories about Rick Ross, James Brown & John Legend…
Don’t forget to check out Django Unchained if you haven’t yet. Highly entertaining film from a spectacular filmmaker & Jamie Foxx comes through with the best hero swagger I’ve seen in a long while…
Damn… I guess I’ll need a late pass for this one considering this site has been around for years… Check out the site Cratery.com, they put out a podcast every month which features some great music, which definitely leans towards the styles we all know & love. They got a few mixes direct from producers & vinyl heads I like, such as Moss, Jake One and Frank Dukes. Check it out and don’t forget to subscribe to their podcast on iTunes!
Special thanks to Broadway for the heads up.
Hey everybody. Just writing to let you know I’m still alive. Also, I decided it was wise to move Saturday Morning Samples to it’s own website. Eventually I will be moving the Scorpio61 mixes over there too.
So don’t forget to subscribe to saturdaymorningsamples.com for updates & some extra treats.
I have a very cool video coming up soon & in general things should start getting a little more interesting around here… so stay tuned.
Happy New Year everyone

A bunch of people have been asking me how I placed the “Bright Lights Big City” track with Jim Jones. It was pretty easy actually. I Didn’t need a grand scheme or plan (which has worked for me before). I’ll try to make this sound as interesting as possible… but its really not. This is a straight forward example of how real networking pays off.

There are times when you are going through some old music & you get hit with a musical moment of perfection that is so great, you go back and listen to it over and over again. We will call this a REWIND moment.
