Vampire Weekend: A Sample Placed And A Remix Found

Last summer I posted up a dynamite remix of Vampire Weekend’s “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” done by the excellent (and sparing) Black Dominoes. I was recently reminded the track by the shuffle on my iTunes, and I noticed that the sample – which I had before identified simply as shouting from “some kids” – was now familiar. It’s a sample of Rye Rye’s “Shake It To The Ground,” which is pretty cool. Rye Rye is a spunky little rapper from Baltimore who really impressed me at SXSW. Cool to retroactively place a sample and realize that it comes from someone you like. Here’s the remix as well as Rye Rye’s original.

In my poking around, I also stumbled across a pretty dope remix of Vampire Weekend’s “The Kids Don’t Stand A Chance” by those crazy kids Chromeo. It’s slick, dig all up on it.
