This collection contains 22 tracks from New Orleans and the deep South. Many tracks have already been sampled while others are crying out to be sampled. Thanks to the technology of sampling, the rise of hip-hop and the development of the 'deep funk' scene, many lesser-known artists finally received belated and unexpected attention - or at least their beats did. Allen Toussaint, Lee Dorsey, Warren Lee, Eldridge Holmes, Popcorn Children, Z. Z. Hill, Tony Borders, Diamond Joe, Ted Ford, Tony Borders, David Batiste & The Gladiators, Chuck Carbo & The Soul Finders, Betty Adams, The Explosions with Juanita Brooks, David Robinson, Eddie Bradford, Jewel Bass, and The Basic. This CD is a great tool for hip-hop, rap and drum 'n' bass producers.
