The Knocks - When You've Got Music
by The Knocks on August 12, 2010
When we first started playing 'Make It Better' for people in the studio their first questions were "what sample is that?". We didn't have an answer for these people because there is actually no sample in 'Make It Better'. So when we were trying to pick a b-side for the 7" release we thought we would try creating the sample that everyone was asking about...
"When You've Got Music' is basically an example of reverse sampling. We sampled something that didn't exist in 'Make It Better' so we wrote this song as if we stumbled across it in an old record store, took to the studio, sampled and flipped for our single. Starring the amazing Mr. Jpatt on vocals, we brought out the organ and live drums and the soul for this jam.
I hope I did an alright job of explaining the thought process behind this..
