Ainda recentemente se dava por aqui conta da importância de Melvin Bliss e de como «Synthethic Substitution» se revelou fundamental na história do hip hop. E hoje chega a notícia da morte do senhor Bliss. Com ele desaparece um pedaço de história. Cosmo Baker conta tudo como deve ser e chama a atenção para um fantástico podcast de Matthew Africa que coloca em perspectiva os seis segundos em que Pretty Purdie, comandado por Melvin Bliss, ajudou a criar o futuro:

2 Busy Saying Yeah – Substitution

Melvin Bliss’s “Synthetic Substitution” is my favorite break of all time.

I love drum breaks and could go on for days about the greatest ones, but “Substitution” stands out. Those drums sound so immense, hit so hard and are so funky– there’s just nothing close.
