Here is something that never happens. Duo samples song. Original artist hears it, loves it, and decides to also release it on his own label? Yeah you read that correctly. That is exactly what happened with "Vision of Love".
Bloggers turned chart topping DJ/Producers known as Bicep sampled Detroit techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson's "Good Love" to create this catchy tune and only released it on a few 12"s assuming it wouldn't get so much attention. Well it's Murphy's law that the song would become a hit, wind up on Radio 1, and eventually reach Kevin himself. He wrote the original record with his wife Ann in 2000 and recognized his own sounds immediately. "I thought, wow, that's 'Good Love' and it works really well over that piano. There was some really good music happening, it had a nice sound to it and it was just perfect."After he reached out to the London based duo they all decided to keep "Vision of Love" on the Feel My Bicep record label as a vinyl only release, but also have Saunderson release it digitally on his own label KMS Records. So everyone wins and we all live happily ever after. Could you imagine if this happened all the time?
