"All sounds were created using samples of the original recording, except the drum track.
The Radio Casablanca recording had lots of 1920s/30s big band swing recordings which made the basis of most of the sounds used, and then I resampled/edited these till I found parts I liked. Then it all came together. I kept parts of the original recording and used a noise gate to give it the jittery, rhythmic effect. It was lots of fun making it and I enjoyed hunting for sounds in the original recording."
