Who sampled · old school · beginner crate
Sister Nancy’s “BAM BAM” (1982) is built on Ansel Collins’s “Stalag 17” (1974) — a sample that travelled 8 years to get there. In SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE we spin the original and ask you to name the hit that flipped it. This one lives in the beginner crate, worth 1 point in party mode.
