Sam Redmore - Tears b/w Just Be Good To Me (import 7")

Label: Jalapeno
Catalog #: JAL-371V
Format: import 7"

Ever since DJ Shadow flipped Giorgio Moroder's 'Tears' on his iconic hip hop classic 'Organ Donor' it's been ripe for a cumbia cover. Sam Redmore provides a unique and welcome rework like no other.

“The original Giorgio Moroder track is something I've played in my DJ sets for a long time. It's always gone down really well, thanks in no small part to the DJ Shadow track 'Organ Donor' that so famously samples it. Over the years I've introduced more and more afro latin music into my sets, and this got me thinking about how I could rework the track to better fit in with what I was playing. At first, I imagined a fairly stripped-down affair, focusing on that huge organ riff with some tasty cumbia percussion, but as the track developed and more elements such as the horns and strings were added it grew and grew until became the monster you hear today!”
