Who sampled · 1990s · intermediate crate
DJ Shadow’s “Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt” (1996) is built on Jeremy Storch’s “I Feel a New Shadow” (1970) — a sample that travelled 26 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 intermediate crate, worth 2 points in party mode.
