Freaking AMAZING! Remake of Prodigy tune. I had no idea...

Prodigy is probably one of my all time favorite electronic groups/artists EVER. I had no idea that pretty much the entire recording was made from samples of other recordings. That's probably because I'm half retarded when it comes to electronic music, mostly due to my rock background. I've dabbled in electronic music from time to time - mostly with Ableton Live. I always got discouraged because I didn't want to use other peoples music to create my own - I used to feel it was a lack of creativity. But then I watch something like this, and become completely re-inspired. I mean, to strum a chord on a guitar is to do something that has been done trillions of times since the guitar was invented.

To write your own song is to simply rearrange the notes people have been making for years and call them your own. DJing, and electronic music is the same way - except you're using whole songs as your notes. You chop, dice, effect, mold, mix, and reform your notes (or samples to be politically correct) into new notes that really haven't ever been heard before. To see it in this way is truly amazing.

I'm looking into getting some decks and a mixer these days - learning the "original" way to sample - and then incorporating that into what knowledge I've gained of audio production in Ableton Live, and hopefully acquiring Serato Scratch Live to ease the process of obtaining music on vinyl. Just thinking of the possibility of discovering a new sound, a new talent, a new way to create - makes me excited to the core. Anyways - check out the video and shoot a few comments!
