Allen Walker – I Am Allen Walker EP
Today Allen ‘Godfather of Batman-House’ Walker releases his first ever ep. You all should be familiar with his by work now and you should all know to go and buy a copy. If you don’t know his work then check out this track, “Plastic Dude“. It’s a great example of his guitar infused french-touch sound.

Lol, it’s great example of him sampling Thony Ritz’s “What I Am!”

It’s a great track.
Touche sir. But, all I’m trying to say is that what Allen Walker did with the sample is not that original. A lot of parts sound almost identical to what Thony Ritz did with it in 2008.
Ahaha. It’s the pitfall of sampling though… I wouldn’t say it’s that indentical, they’ve both used the same segment. Thorny Ritz has used that element and worked a more disco groove around it. Allen Walker has worked a housier sound. It happens all the time… and in all fairness… they are both good imo.
There was a Dj Agent 86/Louis La Roche thing and Les Loups/Forget the other bro thing… I guess it’s up to people to decide whether it’s ripping-off/coincidence.
Imho this version is musically superior given the tens of unique sounds added to the original 2 second sample. Whilst Ritz’s version is a classic drum+filter track this one has more varying drums, piano, bass, guitar, synths, microsamples,… (Talking about the original What I Am btw, don’t really know the new vocal version)
