Silver Convention

Ch'all know about these cats?

I've grabbed a couple of their joints and they're tight. I think i read that they are from germany.

Have they been used a bunch? There's massive amounts of drum breaks as well as bass.

Produced by Giorgio Moroder. One of the first Euro disco acts to break big in the US. Again it is major label mainstream stuff.

Sure I doubt they've been used much by hip hop producers, just like ABBA or the Bee Gees haven't been used by hip hop producers.

they have been used by underground cats in the industry i cant remeber off hand but was it the fugee's that used the bee gee's staying alive,
anyways yeah they have been used alot by house producers,
they got some nice funk in there music too.

tiger baby is the cut
peep the vocal samples
guess who used that song
anyone?

I have all their records and there is some good stuff to sample, A lot of it sounds the same but it's just the gear they were using . cheesey strings are killer. crumar maybe

I have a record by them..... :s

Teflon flipped the joint with the handcuffs on the front in '96.

Wyclef used Stayin' Alive, and the Fugees sampled ABBA for a song that they did with Tribe and others for a song on the When We Were Kings soundtrack.

I thought Pras used stayin alive?

Major label pop artists can afford to sample other major lable pop artists.

The sample for How High, REd and MEth comes from them
