I don't think this has anything to do with the aforementioned artists
but i just picked up a Ninja Tune 12" of which i completely forget the
name, that samples the bassline in "Jerry was a racecar driver". Why it
excites me so to hear it in a crazy context like that i have no idea,
but the track is cool as shit! worth checking out because the other
tracks are dope as well. Looking forward to hearing more Primus/turntabe
experimentation from DJ Disk...
