Sampling isn't a new concept—it's been around for decades. But its roots in hip-hop and R&B can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s, when DJs and producers in New York City began experimenting with turntables and drum machines. One of the earliest examples of sampling comes from the legendary DJ Kool Herc, who's often credited as one of the founding fathers of hip-hop. Herc would isolate the *breakbeat*—the part of a song where the drums take center stage—and loop it to keep the party going. This technique laid the groundwork for what we now know as sampling. But it wasn't just about looping beats. Producers like Marley Marl, J Dilla, and later, Pete Rock and Dr. Dre, began taking snippets of vocals, horns, and basslines from soul, funk, and R&B records, and weaving them into entirely new compositions. Sampling became a way to pay homage to the past while creating something fresh and innovative. Of course, with innovation came controversy. As sampling grew in popularity, so did legal battles over copyright and ownership. Artists and record labels began suing producers for using their music without permission, leading to stricter laws and higher costs for clearing samples. But despite these challenges, sampling has remained a vital part of music production. Join me for this episode where we will explore the impact of DJ Kool Herc and some popular samples.

In Episode 114 of The Future of Water podcast, host Reese Tisdale is joined by Bluefield Research Senior Analyst Ethan Edwards for a deep dive into the water landscape, focusing on the evolving role of the equipment rental sector. The conversation centers on the competitive dynamics among major rental companies such as Herc, Sunbelt, and United Rentals, with a spotlight on Herc's recent US$5.3 billion acquisition of H&E Equipment Services. Ethan breaks down the impact of this deal, positioning Herc as the third-largest equipment rental company in North America. He also discusses how original equipment manufacturers rely on rental firms to distribute pumps, dewatering systems, and trench safety solutions, particularly as municipalities and industries adopt asset-light models. He highlights that rental companies are an essential channel for water equipment, especially in sectors like mining, construction, and oil & gas. Key Takeaways: The Water Connection: Rental companies are not just providing equipment—they're offering full-service dewatering and treatment solutions, competing directly with specialized water service providers. Consolidation Trends: With companies like United Rentals and Sunbelt expanding through acquisitions, the rental sector is seeing increased consolidation. Strategic Shifts: Pump manufacturers are increasingly relying on top rental companies for distribution, as exclusive supply agreements and co-branded deals help maintain steady demand and strengthen their market positions. Looking Ahead: Ethan shares insights on how AI and connected worksites could further transform equipment rental strategies, particularly in water-related projects.
