Melvin Bliss – Synthetic Substitution (7″ Reissue) [Reservoir Recordings RR00021]

Originally released in 1973, Melvin Bliss’s “Synthetic Substitution” became one of the most sampled tracks in hip-hop history, laying the rhythmic foundation for countless classics from artists such as De La Soul, Naughty By Nature, Wu-Tang, and most notably, Ultramagnetic MCs “Ego Tripping”.

Now reissued on 7″ by Reservoir Recordings, this essential breakbeat returns, newly remastered and backed with a fresh remix from Just Blaze that reimagines the track for today’s turntables and dancefloors. A vital piece of music history—reborn and ready to move a new generation.
