about

The way I see it, hip-hop IS folk music. Using two turntables and some old records to create a new form of music is, to me, about as hand-made and folky as it gets. So, when I found this recording of Utah Phillips talking about the egalitarian ownership of folk music, I thought it would be funny to pair it with the world’s most sampled drumbeat; James Brown’s "The Funky Drummer." Then I thought it would be funny to sample a dulcimer club (‘cuz dulcimer club records rarely show up in DJ sets!). The end result however, came out more profound than I had envisioned.
