“You are the river flow
And we can never know
We’re just a weatherman
You make the wind blow”

In my film class we discussed how powerful of an impact the editing of raw footage has on the way it eventually will be received. Like DNA, with hundreds of thousands of instructions for different protein synthesis depending on what segments were read and in what order, unedited film can be transformed into a hundred different types of films with various styles, aesthetic and artistic emphasis. In a similar fashion, Sleigh Bell’s “Rill Rill” transforms an upbeat guitar riff from the ever funky track, “Can You Get to That,” by Funkadelic into a noise-pop masterpiece that is sure to get stuck in your head. Through an eclectic mash-up of refreshing female vocals, an upbeat guitar sample, and tasteful use of snaps and synth, this music duo from Brooklyn has created a classic. Check out the track below, as well as the funky fresh track it samples from. – M.Hoff
