I read an article not so long ago about someone who did a track known as the 'DNA of Hip-Hop',
and it was this guy.
If this is elevator music then.
Where do you apply to be the door operator ?

Bob James is great. You should pick up all his albums from the 70's. Proper Jazz Fusion blended with funk.
He has been sampled by millions of house artists. Especially the track "Take Me To Mardi Gras". But he might be most known for his track Nautilus which was redone by Nuyorican Soul aka Masters At Work for their 1996 album.
It is a lot of gold to choose from, and some of it can work dance-floors. So if funk is your thing, Bob James discography is worth a peek in. To me personally he is a legend.
