SHAM SHAM - 99 Hearts
I just picked up this brilliant and quirky new mashup on 12″.
This track is a veritable six-degrees-of-separation of sampling. Firstly, the vocal from the Sham Sham track is taken from the Rick Rubin produced ‘99 Problems’ and the music is largely sampled from Architecture In Helsinki’s ‘Heart It Races’:

‘99 Problems’ borrows elements of many records, including most prominently:
But the big sample is from:
Which Dizzee Rascal used just a couple of months before on:
Dizzee Rascal - Fix Up, Look Sharp mp3
Which was sampled on and referenced by Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip on:
Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip - Fixed mp3
Lastly, is of course the legendary and most famous Remix/Bootleg of ‘99 Problems’, the ‘Helter Skelter’ sampling:
Danger Mouse - 99 Problems mp3
I could go on all day, but I’ll just finish by linking to a few YouTube vids of the above tracks:
