for the record this is the sample that was used and the production team dug deep to find it. For the whole of the song they essentially built off the sample and did some work on it, but left it completely unchanged at the riff that appears at the end of the track. Maybe intentionally as an homage to where they got it?! Either way, when i figured it out it was a trip that’s for sure.

anyways,the sample is:

Glen Brown: Tel Aviv Drums Recorded in the early 70’s with in Kingston Jamaica, King Tubby behind the boards… epic…

2004 Trojan Records:
