Who sampled · 2000s · intermediate crate
Basement Jaxx’s “Where's Your Head At” (2001) is built on Gary Numan’s “M.E.” (1979) — a sample that travelled 22 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.
