The Marches debut album, 4 a.m. is the new midnight, is a blend of electro and Motown, with heavy doses of indie dance thrown in for good measure. The band are in the studio right now working on their second album but will be performing a live full set on a Nov 24th podcast for Radio Hotbodies.
The Beatles / You Know My Name Look Up the Number
Preempting the next sentence, I know what is about to be stated will sound ridiculous because hip-hop has sampled from even pre-60s eras. But the first six seconds of this song is possibly the first hip-hop beat. It is the first time a beat actually sounds like a sampled hip-hop beat before the concept existed. And I hate to give the Beatles anymore credit, because they have so much already. If I’m not wrong, you heard it from me first.
