Touch It Cigrik (Busta Rhymes vs. Mogollar)



A return to the world beat vibes of Pollution 500, this was also an experiment in sound.

I took the rap from Busta's hit "Touch It" and mixed with some heavy old-school world funk courtesy of Mogollar, a still-active psychedelic, funk/rock/jazz/world band from Turkey.

While the main loops are sampled from the song "Cigrik" (see the cover for proper Turkish spelling), I sampled and manipulated loops from several other songs off Mogallar's Anadolu Pop album to get the additional sub-bass and percussion effects.

I'm very happy to report that this tune has been spun on Turkish radio.
