The ? Remainz is a textbook example of less is more. It's what, a 1 second/ half bar stab from a Bob James record we've heard pretty often with some vinyl hiss and he creates an absolute banger. I don't think I realized it until I was listening to Kwame's The Rhythm one day when it came on my ipod. Incredible
More recently I'm blown away by U Looz. I mean, listen to this:
That main sample is pretty far in the mix, with a different time signature. How he thought to isolate that and chop it simply can't be human. Now, I believe I read/heard Adrian Younge gave him, all his masters for that Prhyme project, so he may have been able to isolate the tracks that way. Still, I wouldn't have heard that or thought to come up with it in a thousand years.
