about

"I have always loved White Lines (Don’t Do It)." I remember hearing this when I was first discovering rap music as a kid. I learned later that the music is based on Liquid Liquid’s "Cavern." I love how the interactions between the NYC art scene, punk rock, and emerging hip-hop were happening so naturally and quickly during the late '70s. This tune manages to be a message song, embrace some Avant-Garde musical ideas and still work as dance music even to this day. I have been playing it off and on in bands my entire life. I started doing it a lot as an organ vehicle during late night Jazzfest gigs as a comment on the wild party atmosphere. This version references both the original Liquid Liquid track and the brilliant Melle Mel interpolation." - Robert Walter
