DJ Signify - "Just your favourite DJ saviour"
In 1996 this now commonly known sample from the Master's of Ceremony track 'Dynamite' was used in two different but pretty important albums (To me at least). The popular one obviously being DJ Shadow's use in Best Foot Forward, and the perfection with which he intermingles the sample with the surrounding soundscape is amazing. It doesn't get much better in Endtroducing..... than when it is announce that 'he's coming'. However, during the same year, DJ Signify used the sample (As I am sure many others had/have) for his Signifyin' Breaks mixtape. Not as perfect, in fact if you aren't listening to the album in context the whole thing can seem to be a jumble. As a mixtape artist however, he is one of my favourites. Hi two studio albums though take it to another level. Better 'flow', darker beats, Of Cities and Sleep No More are two fairly amazing albums. I guess those are the two albums that I am spruiking here today - Get them.
They might require 'patience', but its well worth the magic that accompanies.
