Seven dope A Tribe Called Quest samples
Long live Phife Dawg
Jamie Trench
"Jamie Trench is the Milton Keynes producer with house jams for days," we wrote when he provided us with a mix full of his own tunes. We're a massive fan of his work - chunky beats combined with the sweetest grooves - and the bulky 'Velvet Curtains' is one of our favourites. It hits hard all the way through, chucking in Q-Tip's statement telling us "all I wanna do is get down, yo." This belter certainly makes you wanna do just that.
Groove Armada
"You know a fella's good for the moola," Q-Tip slips in on '1nce Again' from the group's fourth album 'Beats, Rhymes & Life'. Groove Armada used the lyric in 1999 feel-good track 'If Everybody Looked The Same', popping up throughout before rounding it out along with a few turntable scratches.
