Classic Material: Better Days

ladies at the races

It’s amazing how a simple note pattern can stand up over time.

The Winnie Cooper DJs love vintage house jams, and this classic contains a piano riff that’s been sampled repeatedly. It was produced in 1989 by Jimi Polo and Adamski who are planning to work together again this year, 20 years later.

More recently, you’ll recognize it from last year’s Lo-Fi-Fnk track Want U.

Jimi Polo – Better Days

This track was originally released as a B side. Like wow. Yeah, I know right?
