Joe Sample "In All My Wildest Dreams" DJ jesster re-edit


















one of the records in my vinyl collection that i always felt was underrated was a joe sample album called "rainbow seeker."  it had a hidden gem on there called "in all my wildest dreams."  at first i just thought it was cool 'cause it was the sample that de la soul used on the album "de la soul is dead" for their WRMS skits..  but as i got to listening to the song i started to appreciate it for what it was.

lately i've been working with ableton live a little bit.  i'm still figuring it out and i have a long way to go before i would consider myself proficient, but this was a decent start.  i went home to boston last weekend and put this together mostly on the flight.  my idea was to take a funky jazz kinda song and make a DJ friendly edit of it that you could use to start or end a party.  this seemed like a good place to start.  i warped the track and basically just added some drums and a bassline.  i wouldn't say i made the song better because it was fine as it was.. i just kinda DJ'ed it up.

since this worked out pretty good, as far as i'm concerned, i'm going to probably try and do some more.. i've already got a few classics from the crates in mind.
thanks for listening.
peace,

jesster
