HOW CLUBBING CHANGED THE WORLD
BAD BOY BILL @ 1989 DMC
Less of a documentary and more of a pure
classic clip from DJ history in the making, I was encouraged to seek out
this incredible performance after a comment on my article last week on
DJ name drops:
“I come from mid 80s House …and it’s funny to me that this article has to explain what was obvious then. I guess the younger generation need coaching. Remember Bad Boy Bill scratching his drops ?” – Luiz Fueggo

1988 AUSTRALIAN DOCUMENTARY ON SAMPLING
For a Australian TV station to do a documentary on sampling in 1988 is
pretty great – but for them to include interviews with Prince Paul, Will
and Jazzy Jeff, Tom Petty, Russell Simmons, and more – is incredible.
It’s a pretty good primer on how contriversial sampling was at the time,
especially for our younger readers! Hard to believe that in most
countries around the world, nearly twenty four years later, there are
still no sensible laws that encourage and properly accomodate this style
of sampling.
