The history of floor fillers and bootlegs


Sam:

It's funny I was thinking the other day about how back in the day classical music was like the hottest stuff out, like how hearing the new vivaldi would be like having the new Jay Z...

That got me on to thinking about bootlegs back then. I like to think wannabe musicians snuck into composers houses and quickly scribbled down the score, ran down the street past some urchins with a handful of papers, then went and busted it out on their grand piano at some underground tea party or something. It just seems cooler than some weird italian guy who knows some guy getting a copy of the mp3 and then that finding its way via the internet to a blank cd in your CDJ.... anyway...

This is kinda old now but it still does the trick as a floor filling bootleg:
Kanye West vs MGMT - Electric Touch (Mp3)

This one's just a straight vintage (classical you might say) floor filler on a big system (A big funky bassline never dies):
Groove Armada - Superstyling (Mp3)
