DA MONDAY "LUNCH" BREAK...........MELVIN BLISS ( BERNARD PURDIE ON STICK'S ) " SYNTHETIC SUBSTITUTION "

SO " FUNKY DRUMMER " , " ROCKET IN THE POCKET " , " GET OUT OF MY LIFE WOMAN " , " APACHE " , " IT'S MY THING " LITERALLY BREAKS THAT ARE ON A FIRST NAME BASIS WITH FAN'S OF SAMPLING , HIP HOP AND BEYOND

THIS PURDIE DRUMMED BREAK DOESN'T TEND TO BE NAME DROPPED OR HAVE THE LEGACY OF THE ABOVE YET IT MUST BE ONE OF THE MOST SAMPLED TRACKS OF ALL TIME.

ANOTHER CURIOUS THING IS THAT IT SUITED BOTH COASTS..........IT'S BEEN LOOPED , CHOPPED , SPEEDED UP AND DOWN.......PARTY TRACKED...GANGSTA BOPPED.

FIRST 16 BARS ( PIANO SECTION ) HAVE APPEARED ON COUNTLESS RECORDS FROM GANGSTA , TO HORROR-CORE TO ALL OUT PARTY TRACKS SO THE MOOD OF THE RECORDING HASN'T STREAMLINED IT CHOICE AMONGST PRODUCERS.

IS IT THE OPEN - CLOSED HI-HATS DRAGGING AT THE END OF THE SNARE ?

IT DOESN'T MATTER , IT IS JUST A PLAIN OLD FUNKY AZZ TRACK RUMORED TO BE CUT AS A FILLER FOR A B-SIDE.

I WONDER WHAT DJ DROPPED DOUBLE COPIES OF THIS FIRST ......WHAT WAS THE AUDIENCE'S REACTION ?......PURE FIYA IN MY IMAGINATION.

TO BE HONEST I COULD LISTEN TO THIS BREAK LOOOPED FOR A GOOD 37 HOURS AND NOT BE BORED.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN , BOY & GIRL HERE IS

MELVIN BLISS ( BERNARD PURDIE ON THE STICKS ) " SYNTHETIC SUBSTITUTION "



AS WITH A LOT OF SAMPLING HISTORY THE CREATORS HAVE VERY LITTLE TO SHOW FOR THEIR WORK ( READ "BROKE AS A MUTHAF_CKER" ) , IT APPEARS IN THE WAVE OF THE " BEAT DIGGERS " HEYDAY OF THE EARLY 90'S TIL 2005 ( FOR ME THE WATERSHED IN " DA INDUSTRY " ) THAT THESE CAT'S DIDN'T GET BOOKED FOR RETRO SHOWS , HALF HOUR DOC'S ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF HIP HOP OR " SHOWCASE " DOUBLE BILL'S OF DJ'S AND FOREFATHERS.

LIFE GOES ON AND MORE AND MORE OF THESE PIVITOL PLAYERS ( NOT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE INFLUENCE THEY WOULD HAVE ON MODERN MUSIC ) ARE PASSING ON.

STRANGE DAYZ OF FREE MUSIC AND KNOWLEDGE WE LIVE IN AND YET FOR ALL OF IT NOT MUCH FANFARE THIS JULY WHEN BLISS ( RUMORED TO BE 75....I LOVE THAT NO ONE WAS SURE HOW OLD HE WAS ) PASSED WAY.

HERE IS A TRAILER FOR A DOCUMENTARY ON WHAT IS BASICALLY 6-8 SECOUNDS OF MUSIC.

R.I.P MELVIN BLISS
