Hot off the heels of releasing his entry into De Wolfe Music’s Art of the Sample series, Blockhead joins the Let the Record Show crew to wax poetically about classic tracks that have shaped his taste. His selections include golden era hip-hop classics from the Native Tongue family and the Juice Crew, indie rap staples from MF Doom and Latyrx, “dirty rap” from Willie D, as well as rare grooves and soul standards from the likes of Cymande and Stevie Wonder.
A hilarious episode filled with obsessive music minutia and behind the scenes stories, Blockhead also discusses the creative process behind his 2017 album Funeral Balloons, which in his words, was made from “cratedigging in Ubers and sampling from RUclips.”
Hosted by Mike Pizzo (Cuepoint, Reef Dispensaries) and Warren Peace (Executive Producer of As I Am: The Life and Times of DJ AM), Blockheads’s episode marks the eighth entry into the series. As longtime journalists and former vinyl record shop owners, the duo employs encyclopedic musical knowledge that is as eclectic as their DJ sets.
This guys perspective and taste is beautiful
As by Stevie Wonder is one of the songs from my childhood I've heard from time to time and never knew the name of. So glad I came across that song in this video. Also, props to Blockhead for bringin' him up lol.
"House song and a reggae song" perfectly describes late 80s east coast albums
Just found you guys and the pod and it’s now my favorite ever so ummm thanks
Mr Blockhead has some phenomenal taste! MF DOOM, Jungle Brothers, Cymande, Latryx...
Latyrx on Latyrx by Latyrx. Brilliant. Lyrics Born doesn't get enough praise.

If you are going to interview someone ... maybe check your levels and hold the mic to your mouth!
