Bi-weekly record-diving sampling extravaganza | 28 | Terence Trent D'arby - Dance Little Sister

Hi all! Bit of a classic this time round, but something I got in a recent haul that I think could be fun to play with. I’ve included parts 1 and 2, the second part contains a bunch of extra material.

This week we’ll be working with Terence Trent D’arby - Dance Little Sister

YouTube preview:

Dance Little Sister reached the UK Top 20 as well as #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1988.

[aarb420]

@natehorn nice one

[natehorn]

[Bitsnbobs]

that’s fucking hard album

[aarb420]

I’ve been trying to find a FLAC copy of this song for the past hour, and I wanted to share my ridiculous experience with @everyone. Not only is it nearly impossible to find this in a high res format, but when I did find somewhere that isn’t sketchy, I was met with this message:

After switching my IP address to Glasgow, UK, through a VPN, the track is now discounted 70 cents (not even currency related). What the what

The victory was short lived, however. The system would not let the payment go through.

Is Juno geo-price gouging us out here

[Yabba]

Nice one for the track and stems, I’ll have a go with this on Friday

[Enrico_Pallazzo]

The guy changed name in Sananda Maitreya, here’s the full story:

Why Terence Trent D'Arby became Sananda Maitreya: 'It was that or death'

Here the flac file

[aarb420]

@Enrico_Pallazzo ah man thank you for the file and neat article!

Checked the thread too late and decided to give a go with the bass stems @natehorn generously provided, but I’ll still try and see if I can make use of the file you shared during the week! It’s been a fun sample to play with after riding the high of the recent challenge @Yabba hosted! This round really brought a lot of amazing submissions

Here’s a quick remix to a Slaughter Rico rap that blew up for a while here in the US on the early YT days. Always wished that he had a bigger career, and at one point it was rumored that he had died, but he’s still very much alive for anyone who knew of him Added drum break and some lil snips from a jazz record

edited some parts on a bank switch that I overlooked

[ammanuel]

at one point he epitomized coolness and talent in the 80s to me…almost saw him and regretted saying no to the show when a friend offered me a ticket…I still don’t know why I refused the offer…he was the James brown of his short time in the limelight.

[Enrico_Pallazzo]

Meanwhile in the Pallazzo’s studios…

Terence Trent Darby produced a gorgeous album in the 80’s: an album of very inspired songs, I still listen to it. This remix is an attempt at crossover with the sound of the late 90s (when Fatboyslim knew what he was doing). I apologize for the mixing, it’s a bit rough, I didn’t spend more than 10 minutes on it.
@Natehorn Thanks for the stems. From what I hear, Stemroller works much better then my Neural Pro app.
May the funk be with you all

[natehorn]

I’d noticed that there was a different name attached to his music, I did wonder what the background was!

[monquixote]

Is it me or is the track not in concert pitch?

[looms]

Well this was fun until it wasn’t All the sample apart from the drums and dodgy synth nooodle towards the end. Serato Sample’d for time stretching, granulator’d a bit of it then dumped onto the 404 for chops, resamples, effects, ruin…

[natehorn]

Is this something you’re picking up from my recording or do you mean the track in general? It’s flimsy cheap 80’s vinyl so it may be imperfect

[monquixote]

The recording you provided so could be that.

I tried to put a synth against it but it was slightly out.

It might be me and my limited transcription powers.

[Yabba]

I had a go, I found myself tweaking the levels through my laptop speakers when I recorded it so it might be a bit off.

[aarb420]

You all dropped some hot on this challenge, nice work @everyone! @Yabba levels are actually nice, and awesome beat man.

Had another spin with @Enrico_Pallazzo’s file, thanks again for sharing!

Wishing you all a flavorful week ahead @everyone, and thank you all for hanging out and sharing your efforts with us. Hope to see your friendly faces again soon!

[looms]

This is great man! And your previous one which somehow passed me by until now is too, what a head nodder. Do that remix album please
