Julio Bashmore issues Formal Apology for “Troglodytes” sample

Back in June of 2012, Julio Bashmore gave away a free banger titled, “Troglodytes” which featured a sample of the Jimmy Castor Band’s “Troglodyte (Cave Man)”. Oddly enough, we’re not talking about notes or whole melodies, we’re talking about a bit of speech about troglodytes and cave men used as an intro and sticking point for a melodic house number.

From what  we could gather, the ace producer has finally learned  about his folly as the track ended up being removed from his SoundCloud and subsequent YouTube uploads. That might not have been enough, though, as earlier this week Julio posted the following formal apology regarding the situation:

Not only did he have to remove the track from the Internets, but he ended up having to pay both the publisher AND pay monies to a charity that the publisher would be choosing.

This brings us to the question, if the track has already been officially scrubbed from his Internet sites, why would he have to, almost a year later, feel the need to post this apology letter. Will the track in its full form be getting posted at some point?

Feels like there’s something we’re yet to find out.
