Bleep

Illegal Art (Girl Talk, People Like Us) survey the career of a hip-hop pioneer. There are few artists who did more for the arts of sampling and turntablism than Steinski. 1983’s ‘The Payoff’, the tune that kicks off What Does It All Mean? 1983-2006 Retrospective, remains a classic jam to this day. The rest of the first disc here serves up a ton of feel-good electro-boogie alongside names as prestigious as Chuck D and Double Dee. The bonus CD is comprised of a mix Steinski made for Solid Steel/the BBC.
