8 Tracks – Eddie C
Ahead of a rare UK appearance, passionate record collector and accomplished selector, Eddie C, gives us his 8 most influential tracks, saying: ‘Well, there you have it! I kind of like everything. It’s a shame I didn’t get to include any of the Ambient or Jazz records that I listen to almost every day.’
I was into Run DMC first, but Public Enemy completely changed the way that I thought about music. I was also 12 years old at the time which is about the age that we develop tastes for things that can last a lifetime. I’d never heard anything like this. I already dug the repetitious nature of Hip Hop music but this was like a hypnotic repetitious “emergency”! All of The Bomb Squad’s production featured deep layers of funk and noise. For someone who really had never heard the music where the samples came from, the experience was indescribable. I suppose I got into music around the time in the 80s when things changed from being drum machine oriented to sample oriented.
