The SCI of music is a podcast where we break down the art and science of Samples, Covers and Interpolations. Each episode, we'll delve into these three fascinating facets of modern music, and I'll share what excites me about these. My AI sidekick, SCI, will provide all the facts, figures and data that support my assertion that Samples, Covers and Interpolations are the greatest form of flattery in music!

This week we're diving into The Sound Of Philadelphia - looking at the great tracks from Gamble & Huff which have been sampled, covered and interpolated to create a lasting legacy in modern music.
This week we're talking about the Purple Prince of Pop himself. We'll delve into covers of his original songs, songs he created for others and the inspiration he gave to modern R&B and pop.
This week we move on to covers. Not the best known covers, but the covers that reinterpreted, or improved on the originals. Keep an eye out for my favourite cover OF ALL TIME!
Today we delve into interpolations - the musical nod to the past. We discuss what an interpolation is, how it differs to samples, and attempt to tell the difference between interpolation and inspiration
Hear how Loleatta Holloway's Love Sensation built vocal house.
This week we're looking beyond pure samples, into interpolations and inspirations. Focussing on Billie Jean we'll take a trip through the last 40 years of pop
How Public Enemy’s Rebel Without a Pause redefined sampling as a weapon of urgency and rebellion. A small change from the usual podcast, which I hope you enjoy.
For our third episode, we focus on the origin of the "Yeah! Woo!" so well known in modern sampled music - Lyn Collins' James Brown produced Think (About It) Once again hear how it inspired multiple artists and genres and spawned some of the all time great modern electronic music tunes we hear regularly.
This week we move to another famous drum break sample. This one transcended the hip hop genre and gave the UK something to sweat about in the late 80's-early 90's and beyond. Sci and I would definitely welcome feedback. Our human overlords in particular would love to hear from you!
This week we delve into one of the best known samples in Modern Music - the drum break in James Brown's The Funky Drummer. Hear how it inspire multiple genres, and why it is one of the most widely used samples.
A little insight into this new podcast. What it's about, why I'm doing it and why I hope you'll listen (and feed back!) I hope you enjoy this..
