who is jabber singh?

Another week of getting some samples from my Dad's old records, most were taken from a soundtrack of a movie I've never seen.  From the dialog and song titles it would appear Jabber Singh is one bad dude.  The dialog translates to the hero asking "who is Jabber Singh?" and then the villain responding in the third person "Jabber Singh is not crazy!"  Huge appreciation for my hip hop heroes who create the most delightful beats finding the wildest samples.  Found it very difficult to find samples that would work together, I recorded and made about 20 to 30 loops from a few records but only ended up using about 5 or 6 of them.  Still a fun process, might try to do one more like this as I still have about another 30 records to go through.

I love how the adventure continues. These old records have such a beautiful warm sound and the weight of history. I love how using records from different cultures may bring different sounds that western ears are less used to, and enrich our musical vocabulary, our sonic palette and palate. I'm looking forwards to more tracks like this.

Great stuff. You are blessed with those records. Keep it going.
