Sappo - Dark & Dirty / Simon Sayz download mp3

In my opinion, Dark & Dirty is Sappo at his best. The sparse, tight drum sounds and subdued yet powerful bass perfectly showcase the innovative sampling, which makes liberal use of re-triggering. Samples include a theramin/sinewave-like tone that mimics the bass line, great 'cosmic' synth percussion, and Samuel Jackson yelling "Shit! I told you not to open it!" taken from Die Hard 3. Others may say Ding Dong Bass is Sappo's magnum opus, and while it may have been true back then, Dark & Dirty still sounds quite fresh today. DJs take warning: 2 bars get dropped (or 8 beats, so the drums will still line up but the phrases will be off if you are mixing) during the second breakdown, resulting in a floor-filling early drop.
