Merry Psychic Tuesday!!!
In this episode of PTR, we’ll be both celebrating and shedding some historical light on one of the most iconic samples used in the music of the 80’s : the “orchestra hit”, a fragment of Stravinsky’s Firebird captured within the Fairlight Computer Musical Instrument, the first digital ‘sampler’, as ‘ORCH5’. This loud orchestral attack was made famous by Bronx DJ Afrika Bambaataa, who incorporated the sound into his seminal 1982 dance track, ‘Planet Rock’. Tune in cuz we’ll be listening to an hour’s worth of 80’s tracks that use this legendary sample!
As always,
*** ENJOY ***
