A month ago, we found ourselves wondering what Brenton Duvall was listening to, and he told us. Which was nice of him, but it opened a lot of doors for us to wonder what other artists are listening to.
Xaphoon Jones, producer/DJ extraordinaire has long been the subject of that wonder. With a sampling technique that draws from as diverse source material as possible (Flux Pavilion and Desmond Dekker? By the same producer??), I knew I really wanted to spend some time with this guy’s iPod. We got the next best thing – 5 songs picked by the man himself.
1. Hot Sugar – “Color Wars” (ft. Aaron Livingston)
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. If you can listen closely, you might hear the sample to Nas‘ “The World Is Yours“. For those who are struggling, it’s around the 4:58 mark. Simply put, this is one of my favorite songs of all time. Sometimes, when I DJ, I like to confuse people by playing the first 5 minutes and then going right into “The World Is Yours”.
Shoutout to P&P, Thanks yall
