Assal [2023] - Somebody [Plaizir Muzic]


Another 'sampler' from Assal who has featured here previously with other new dance tracks that sampled from the 70s. We don't recognise the sample that "Somebody" is based on, if any, so any of you vinyl hounds who may know it then put us out of our misery.

We've received a comment from DJ Kool Keith suggesting that the sample may be from Fonda Rae "Over Like A Fat Rat" (1982) and there are similarities in the bassline to the break at around 4:10 of Fonda Rae's song, included below so you can decide for yourself.

UPDATE: We have another, more plausible, candidate, as Ray Oyers has left a comment suggesting Thundercat "Them Changes" from "Drunk" 2017 (included below) which samples The Isley Brothers "Footsteps In The Dark".

It sounds like it's sampled from "Over Like a fat rat" by Fonda Rae - Kool Keith.

Aha ... many thanks Ray .. I note that Thundercat credits the Isleys as it also samples 'Footsteps In The Dark'!
