Marlena Shaw - California Soul (Diplo/Mad Decent Edit)



This is a 101 on re-editing, if there ever was one. Diplo has utilized this 1968 classic to the fullest without takin' the groove and soul out of it. He's snatched strings from one channel and mixed it up, added delays, EQ and looped the short breaks. Admitted: the "wh-wh-wh-what is it!" sample works, though it's against my rules!

IMO, this is how it should be done! Off the "Verve // Remixed 4" album.
