Hey Stoney, I was wondering which songs you sampled (if any) on Take Me Away? The string loop sounds like it's taken from CHIC's 'I Want Your Love'???

I didn't sample anything actually, but I did get inspired from my 1994 remix of Donna Giles 'And I'm Telling You'. On the other hand, I'm like the biggest Chic fan there is so I might have been inspired by them too.

I had the song of Donna Giles for such a long time on my: Back To Love 03.02 (Hed Kandi) and never noticed it before: exactly the same melody/swing...

I didn't think my Donna Giles remix got what it deserved back then and I wrote the music for it so I figured I should give it another shot.

And another SHOT it was! Right in the bull's eye...Maybe other remixes deserve another shot? Finally got my hands on the RE-DUB, by the way and it's really great!

Thanks now I know... To raise another subject...why do you think most acts who sample Chic only go for the most well known songs... I mean they've done outstanding work that seems perfect to sample on other songs than just the hits?

Good point, but maybe loads of people have sampled Chic's less known work and got away with it? Personally, I have analyzed a lot of their music and over the years I have figured out how they got it together. This way I have been able to create something new without sampling them, which works better for me.
