Northern Soul was a rough-and-tumble British thing, but far be it from the Swedes to not do anything more cleanly than its originators. Moneybrother aka Anders Wendin has already won a Grammy, notched a number one album, and, somewhat bafflingly, launched his own brand of soup–all in his home country of Sweden. With "Born Under A Bad Sign" (not an Albert King cover, but produced by...

If you haven't heard this album, you NEED to do so. I mean, there is no way one cannot dig this shit. It's like early Massive Attack (when they were Massive): everybody liked them back then, right?

I hope you won’t mind that this series will run well into next year. What you’ll find below are a total of 38 samples for songs from 2000. Why 38? That’s what I could fit into...
