Rhythm Is A Dancer samples Automan

SNAP!’s “Rhythm Is A Dancer” (1992) is built on Newcleus’s “Automan” (1984) — 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 intermediate crate, worth 2 points in party mode.
