( I gotta lay off these cheesy mash up titles )
Jordan back with ya… It’s Tuesday so we’ve got another 7 o clock sample coming your way. This week I decided to explore the music of Daft Punk. They are without a doubt one of my favorite electronic duos. For over a decade these guys have been releasing some of the most popular dance hits.
In their 2001 release DISCOVERY, the fellas had a funky break inspired jam called SHORT CIRCUIT.
Take a listen to the break at 1:40….
This breakdown is brought to us by Mr. Funky himself, PRINCE.

For most, Minneapolis has been know as the home of bands such as The Replacements and artists such as Prince. Minneapolis has always been known as a “Rock” city, but within the last 5-8 years, Minneapolis has been known has a Hip Hop city thanks to the crew and label known as Rhymesayers. Home to acts such as Atmosphere and Brother Ali, Rhymesayers helped put Twin Cities hip hop on the international map. Recently,Urb Magazine awarded them record label of the decade. They recently signed and released an album from Philadelphia based MC Freeway called The Stimulus Package. The one thing that makes this label special is their committment to their community. This includes putting on one of the premiere Hip Hop festivals in the country, Soundset. There is also a committment to the local music scene, which not only includes hip hop but other genres as well. One of the artists, who I know well, that they support is the talented Toki Wright. Not only Toki Wright is an amazing artist, he is an activist who has been heavliy committed to the Twin Cities community. He is now part of the Rhymesayers camp and just released an EP called “BlackMale”, which you can download for free. Check out the video below on the idea behind this EP.
We're a non-profit radio station. It means we don't make millions from advertising. It also means we can play the music you like. That's a decent trade-off. You give us money to stay on the air; we play the music you want to hear.
