Have you ever wondered where that weird scratch came from in Big Sean’s “Marvin & Chardonnay”? No, nor has anyone else really, that’s why I genuinely doubt that this series of articles will ever develop into something interesting. So just endure the first entry and hope they don’t catch on.<\/p>\n

For a long time I’ve suspected that Big Sean’s bizarrely jarring and yet oddly orchestral hit sampled our very own Funkstar De Luxe mega hit, and seemingly the main subject of this blog, “Sun Is Shining”. It’s the same groove and sound, but I could never get them to line up correctly – until now.<\/p>\n

So after spending literally hours in my DAW sliding and pitching samples around (I politely remind you that it’s not a hobby, it’s an illness), I think I can conclude that “Marvin & Chardonnay” does indeed sample “Sun Is Shining”. If anyone cares (PROTIP: no one does) to get the match, it’s on from the third scratch, time stretched in 32nds.<\/p>\n

“Marvin & Chardonnay” into “Sun Is Shining” via Ranking Joe Sample<\/strong>
\n

The original sample is in fact from little known reggae artist and DJ, Ranking Joe. Sadly, I’ve never been able to track down the original track – it’s possible it was a one-off radio thing, but the earliest use of the sample I found is in the excellent Phuture Assasins “Shot Like Dis”. I don’t have the record at the moment, but you can still hear it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s also some bullshit “Mambo Italiano” remix with the sample, but now I’m going to stop scaring off readers.<\/p>\n

Sorry everyone.<\/p>\n
