The Avalanches Break Down Their Favorite Samples | Under the Influences | Pitchfork

Sample pioneers Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi of The Avalanches sit down with Pitchfork to talk about some of their favorite samples, from ones used in their own songs like "Frontier Psychiatrist" to a very clever repackaging of the Underdog theme song in Wu-Tang Clan's legendary, "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F' Wit."

Petition to make an hourlong version of The Avalanches talking about their favorite samples

[mrlevinielsen]

They’re like the two substitute teachers who were cooler than the actual teachers

[salo]

That is NOT what I expected them to look like at all. Great interview.

[ohdan]

completely un-pretentious guys, love their music

[galactichole]

the avalanches recognizing j dilla is just perfect

[randydube]

Frontier Psychiatrist song was my introduction to The Avalanches and immediately was hooked. Thank you for all the gems you have done over the years.

[jorgeloorocampo]

The way he’s still so proud of finding THAT horse 😂🫶

Well without J Dilla, Nujabes, Daft Punk, and The Avalanches I wouldn't be here. 🙏🏾

Saw these two live, was an incredible experience. 100% recommend to anyone who has the opportunity

[megamatt]

not only is their music so perfect to listen to, but i would be perfectly fine with hearing them talk about music all day if i could

[beatsbykana]

this could've been 3 hours and I would've watched. more PLEASE

[joemoment-o]

I cannot stop listening to you two... Absolutely stunning... I'm recently diagnosed Autistic and it is beyond fun to find the originals of your samples... I can't give a higher praise...

[AllboroLCD]

What they do is so other worldly & transcending. Ive been OBSESSED with wildflower since it came out, its just so beautiful I cant

[KillerUgly]

I had no idea they sampled Wayne and Schuster! That's awesome! Such underrated comedy.

[huntrrams]

Now this video gave me the reasons why The Avalanches are my favorite band! They are amazing samplers!

[corvoswsattano]

[niklasgindler]

The avalanches discussing J Dilla, I’m in heaven 🤙🏼

[koenwieringa]

These guys. I love how they love music.

[superwhizz]

Only discovered them about a month before this video came out and I've been a massive fan ever since. This video also introduced me to J Dilla's Donuts which is now also one of my favourite albums

[sharpieman]

Robbie is such a genius, you can hear it in everything he says too
