The name of this new song I uploaded is “Jungles, Savages, New York”, which is named so because of some dialogue snippets that are in the song. The above image was obtained by doing Google Image Search, keywords, “jungle, savages, new york” and it is a movie poster for some controverial film that came out in 1980. Read about it here.

I made this song a long time ago, maybe four or five years ago. Back on Cahuenga Blvd., during the North Hollywood days. This track was heavily influenced by EL-P. I’ve always liked the thickness of his beats, the slow oozing inevitablity of them. I like his darkness, his apocalyptic feel.
This whole track was done on computer using Digital Performer, using lots of samples, too many to remember, all of which were taken from CDs. I know one of the main samples is from a famous Stevie Wonder song, but it is disguised pretty well. That’s always a fun thing to do when making a song - take a very well-known sample and then use it is a way that makes it un-identify-able.
I think the drum-break is from a country music song, some free compilation I got somewhere. I went through it, sampled what I wanted, and then threw out the CD. I also sampled some feedback noise from the Beastie Boys’ “Some Old Bullshit” album.
For this track, I was also playing / scratching some old children’s Super Hero record, the old ones where they tell a story and then afterwards, they play some bad theme song for whoever the Super Hero is. I remember that this story features a bad woman, maybe she’s Russian, and her name is Bronhilda, or something like that.
