Last summer, we tried to warn smaller labels about the ills of not clearing samples. We also created this handy list for clearing samples in today's industry. I can't confirm (nor deny) if either Cosmo Baker or Grandtheft read either of these, but while many of us receive loads of unofficial bootlegs and hear many uncleared samples in hot tracks, it's impressive to know that they went the extra mile and got the permission of Jeanette 'Lady' Day to utilize her voice on their bouncy house number, "Find A Way." Unidisc actually supplied the original stems for this, and we have to admit: this sounds so crispy, it's almost like Lady Day did this for them. It's out now on Kookoo, and if you were looking for some new new that feels like a proper throwback jam, we highly recommend this one.
