Track by track with DJ Regal

Intro

“That was [DJ Touché] Theo’s find, as far as the loop. And it’s his cuts on there, too. And, for the beginning bit and the end I think he had some old children’s Star Trek records that he used. Vocally, there was just a perfect little thing we used that referenced us both. So, we used that, going into the Moondog [sample]. I mean, that was pretty cool. And it was just something we, like, always wanted to use.

“So, that track came about pretty quickly. I would say it probably took about five minutes. But, it was a good five minutes.”

Casino Sans Pareil

“Once we had the main loop and the chorus, and then threw under the James Taylor beat, it was like, ‘Okay, this is pretty hot. We need to do this.’

“The Good, the Bad and the Ugly samples for the breakdown, which was me. The beat was Theo. Looking back on this album it’s hard to remember who found what record because we shared them so much.

“The title means ‘without equal’. There was a loose crew of us called No Equal. If you look on the back of the first Wiseguys 12” on Black Market, there’s a logo for it.”

Ambient music tends to divide opinion – to some, it’s mind-bending and hypnotic, to others it’s nothing more than dull wallpaper music. Whatever your thoughts on the genre as a whole though, when it comes to sound design, ambient is home to some of t
