I met XSample the first day he came to America, at a practice for Sister-I-Live. The next day I played keyboards for him at a UC Berkeley fraternity. A week or two he came with Sister Sharon and I to a show in San Francisco. Driving there crossing the bridge, I let them hear the unfinished tracks for the Get 2 Nomi CD. I was sitting in the back seat and XSample turned half way around to look at me. "Is that you singing?" I answered yes and that I also played most of the tracks. He kept turning to look at me and rewinding the first song, Aphrodesiac. He started singing along with it and I asked if he wanted to do a remix. If it was good enough, I'd put it on as a bonus track. He ended up doing two remixes on the album, Afrodesiac and Conpspiracy.
