So Amerie's sampling Tom Ze and making videos based on "Blow Up"???? Gunnin for that indie love, huh. ;)

This is a rad thread, btw.

I don't know how there isn't a 20-minute cosmic beats+echo edit of 10cc's "I'm Not In Love" out there. (Maybe there is, but I haven't found it yet.)

Once I thought I was really clever and sampled the drum intro to Amon Duul II's "Archangels Thunderbird" and sped it up to a dnb-ish tempo and it sounded really familiar. Has this break already done the rounds or does it just sound like a bunch of others?

The RZA needs to get on the first few seconds of this.

Here's a bit of background on that, if you care.

^ I would prob. sample "Wheel And Turn Me" from Blind Blake Vol. II

Also, "Get The Money (Uncle Scrooge's Money)" from Mousercise.

Sampled by A Tribe Called Quest on a 12" version of Bonita Applebaum, but would love to hear it in yet another context. A big fan of those cheap flute synths.

Moka, Wednesday, 17 March 2010 18:57 (3 years ago) Permalink

Actually I think that the sample comes from the chic remix:

Marcos Valle - Parabens

First 30 seconds or so.

Moka, Wednesday, 17 March 2010 19:51 (3 years ago) Permalink

Magnetic Fields - The Dreaming Moon

Several snippets from the intro and the vibraphone breaks would make a great edit.

Moka, Wednesday, 17 March 2010 19:54 (3 years ago) Permalink

Ok last one for the day, I promise. Mariah - 心臓の扉 (Shinzo No Tobira)

Great hooks throughout the song. No idea what kind of genre could find use in a sample like this one but would love to hear it anyways.

Moka, Wednesday, 17 March 2010 20:24 (3 years ago) Permalink

Ok I lied, but I promise this is the last one I'll post in months:

Jan Hammer - Don't You Know

In the same vein as the Captain Beefheart and Dennis Wilson suggestions upthread (which I agree would make great samples).

i don't dislike the song or anything, but the piano intro here should really be used as a sample, by someone very rich.
