#40. FaltyDL - Straight & Arrow (5:02)

Drew Lustman, better known as FaltyDL, is a New York future garage/2-step producer who released his third album Hardcourage last year. Lead single "Straight & Arrow" is driven forward by some some unique sounds, including a chugging, steam powered beat and plenty of soft yet jittery electronic piano. This all sets the stage for the real meat of the track which shows up about a minute in where Falty samples a section of Al Green's "Could This Be The Love". Al's 'someone like me's unexpectedly jump around and mingle with stretched out 'ooh's and high pitched 'ah-aah's. The result is slightly haunting, but Falty's impeccable production keeps things buoyant and addicting.

Best Moment: A best moment is pretty difficult to pin down for this track, but basically any part of the constantly-in-flux Al Green sample from 1:31 through 4:16 can count.
