Music track of the day: DJ Riko - Whistler's Delight (Full version)

I'm not sure if I'm going to do this daily since my music tastes aren't nearly as refined as my movie tastes, but I think that I'll give it a whirl for a while.

For the last two years, I've heavily been experimenting with music by Dj's. I wasn't hooked at first. I remember listening to my bootlegged version of DJ Shadow's Private Press. I didn't know it at the time, but the version that I bootlegged was fucked up beyond recognition. What I thought were stylistic quirks of the genre turned out to be a bad transfer on the part of who ever ripped and uploaded it to the internet. The turning point to me where I started to really dig DJ Shadow and the genre was lisetening to Six Days for the billionth time. I was driving home from a long days work, and I finally GOT IT. It was a revelation. I was hooked.

This brings me to DJ Riko. He's not nearly a proficient artist as Shadow. Instead of making music from scracth, using samples ala Avalances or Rjd2, he remixes music. Nothing wrong with that, however. Whistler's Delight is a snipet that I stole from a longer mix of his, Later Day Taints. Whistler's Delight takes all the whistling that you've heard in pop songs for the last 50 years and mashes them up to a heavy drum beat. It loses steam about halfway through, but it's still worth listening to for the game of "spot the sample".
