What is the original source for this siren sample in the intro of this DJ Red Alert Show from 1987?

    The Jungle Bros. used the same sound for Ill House You.

    Maybe there are some sample breakdowns for that song.

    The siren was used by Mantronix in "King of Beats". Almost everyone else who used the siren got it from "King of Beats" .

    Thats the source for the siren of Todd Terrys "Can You Party" which he produced under the moniker Royal House.
    And that House song is the base for Jungle Brothers "I'll House you".

    By the way, this Mantronix siren is the Dilla siren today.

    The Intro of the Red Alert shows sounds familiar to me. I think that the intro is from a rap record, I think I heard it as a kid. But cant remember the source.

    So there must be an original source. Red Alert got it. Maybe Mantronix got it, but it also could be that Mantronix sampled the siren from the Red Alert show.

    i don't really think you're a cunt hawkeye. i enjoy your sample spot malarky.
    but i'm wary of helping you after the horrific jimmy spicer incident of 2013
