ID this sample

Okay, theres this one sample of a crowd I can't quite describe, but it's pretty lo-fi, and is just kind of chattering and laughing. It's featured prominently in "Merrily We Roll Along" by Datach'i, and somewhere in "Maple Leafs" by Jens Lekman (I think it's that track), on the very end of "Return of The Gangster" by Outkast, and other places (I think I heard Belle and Sebastian used it too, but don't know).

Either way, what the hell is this sample that has been used so prominently, especially for something that's a just a field recording.

I listened to those tunes, and it's definitely the same sample. My guess is that, since it's been used by such different artists, it's not a field recording rather than a sample of some well-known tune with crowd noises, like "The 'In' Crowd" or "What's Going On" or Donny Hathaway's "The Ghetto". Damn if I know which one, though.

What's the origin of the "Step up...Step-- Step up..Step up" from "Step in the Arena"/"I Get Around"

?

Thunder & Lightning: "Bumpin' Bus Stop"

Ha, I always figured it came from a (then) contemporary rap song of some sort. Thanks!

The crowd noise sample Mehlt mentions upthread is still bugging me. I assume it must be from some well-known record, since it's used by such different artists as Outkast and Jens Lekman. Any guesses?

Does anyone know what song this Finnish rap tune samples? Sounds like some old soul tune, but I don't recognize it...

Kapasiteettiyksikkö - Mikä juttu

love & elecktrik - sex video

im sure the opening plinky plonky melody is lifted from some other song, possibly an 80s disco or freestyle track. the song is here: http://winniecooper.net/2009/07/love-elektrik/ and the specific part i mean is at 4 seconds in. it's driving me crazy!

ok ignore that, im pretty sure its from kraftwerk's 'computer love'

who sampled this intro?? it's driving me crazy

brooklyn dreams - street man

hot song. almost bought a copy on saturday but it was too scratchy.

This one should be easy but I've spent years searching to no avail: the chorus of Public Enemy's "Fight the Power", it sounds like there's a female voice repeating "hug and kiss" or something along those lines. Who is it and where is it from?

Good question. Always wondered that myself. Maybe it's a sped-up sample making identification difficult.

It's not one of these?

Not hat I could tell. Those are the same samples listed on wiki. Stevie, just speed up every one of those and see which one may be it. :)

I already went through every one of those.

Yeah but did you speed them up?

New sample ID request please:

20 second clip here:

http://soundcloud.com/rinsemusic/coldcut-orb-sample-id

or even what song is it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm_QilrHkh8

The vocals are from Crush On You by The Jets, which were sampled on Intro by Alan Braxe & Fred Falke.

Gah!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdKCSKsaTU4

Cool, thanks everyone!

Never heard of that The Jets track before - it's great! I guess I must have heard the sample in some DJ mix under the Alan Braxe guise but was then when I came across it in that 1991 Coldcut-Meets-The Orb mix was thrown.

Ctazy how just 5 seconds lifted totally makes something new.

Crazy how just 5 seconds lifted totally makes something new.

^ sounds naive esp. from someone who spent a looooong time sample checking DJ Shadow entroducing

Isn't sample actually lifted from this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=637i0194MsI

I mean yes I get that's maybe a hyperbolic comment since this song is built on the Jets one... but even the 'rap' intro is lifted from that one.

That Jets sample was used at one point on 2ManyDJ's As Heard on Radio Soulwax Pt. 2.

^ that's where I know it from!

This has been driving me crazy; I know it's an easy one. Not listed on thebreaks.com. Please help me ID the flute sample at :30. Thanks!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K5NCDimn08

Yeah, that's definitely a super-familiar sample, but I can't remember where it's from either.

cardigans?

Really?! I'm definitely thinking 70s Chi-Lites/Sylistics kinda vibe, and I don't think it's digging too deep in the crates. Like something I would have heard on Top 40 radio all the time back then. Even though Coolbone were never really popular, Guru did this remix and I think it's weird that there's no sample info online.

Can you ID the guitar sample in this tune, it starts at 0:22.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ImAJjK83uc

It sounds really familiar, I think it's from an intro of some 80s TV series, but I can't recall which one.

Anyone?

Reminds me of a cross between "Silver Fang" and "Baywatch" but it's neither one of them... definitely think I've heard it before but not sure where... either sampled by someone else or as a sort of coda from some 80s song in my collection... I'll see if i can find it before anyone else does.

Baywatch was the first thing I thought too, but I listened through a few versions of its intro and couldn't find that exact riff. Maybe it played during the end titles, though?

parts of the guitar part are vv similar to parts from Cindy Lauper's Time After Time, imho

Not really a sample but a source. Esmeray's Aysirik Olsa Bite http://youtu.be/PkEJeTAQElg

I am sure it was covered with english lyrics and sampled at some point but I cant find it. Please help im losing my sleep ver this one.

Come on help me out here, I'm dying to know.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkEJeTAQElg&feature=youtu.be

Ok, I heard the english cover of Esmeray yesterday on a hip hop track, so now I know I'm not crazy. Please help.

What IS this string/piano sample? I know it's something I've heard, but it's driving me crazy not being able to place it.

Ok I've finally identified the sample above, in case anyone wants to know It was also used by Shirley Bassey in the song Jezahel (a cover from the italian 'Jesahel') and it was sampled by Public Enemy.

Reverse ID this sample. I know a dance track has used the 4 bar vocal at 3:04 on Deee-Lite’s good beat, but it has been bugging me all day that I can’t remember.

This has been bugging me for a while... I know there's a tune by Queen Latifah (I think) that uses the same piano sample as heard on this track at 1:09... But what is that tune? And where is the sample originally from? I've heard the original tune a few times, and I think it's something incredibly obvious, but I just can't get it into my head.

https://youtu.be/o2PJlXFtEHQ?t=1m44s

Thanks!

Heard this on Don Lett's show last night and thought it was a Cocteau's sample. Listening again it doesn’t sound like them, any ideas what it could be?

https://open.spotify.com/track/1HMMxg63hPKLyd5Wp4wEs4

I think it's Eberhard Weber?

On Fluid Rustle.

https://youtu.be/UQ2biDZkM_M?t=10m51s

Wow, brilliant spot. Thanks for that, would never guessed.

FWIW I listened to the Golden Rules album and it's well worth checking out, especially if you like a bit of fretless bass.

I've still not solved mine from six years ago, and the old link is dead. Coolbone, "Nothing But Strife" (Groove Mix by Guru.) Flute/strings sample at 00:39.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4v4ec1_9ws

Sorry I can’t help with that one right now :(

I swear I have heard this in a sample. Any ideas who it was?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iurhjlBum0o

K-pop band MFBTY did a tune that samples some Konnakol

Hmm, not familiar with them. I was thinking someone more along like lines of Cornelius or Matmos maybe? DJ Shadow?

You might be thinking of Asa Chang & Jun Ray who use those bols in Hana at least

That's it! Thank you

15 years, i've been playing the game of this goddamn thread, 15 years!!

and never once a victory. i have never known, either before or after the answer was revealed, fuck!

it's only for this reason that i have to dismiss you as the people who know things

you're like al bundy at that record store

Karl, listen to “Hana” it’s cool

oh, actually i know that song (the Asa Chang & Jun Ray one)! i think it's on some ambient comp i like a lot. or...a playlist? i always wondered where the sample was from!

but i'm not sure i would have connected it directly to that video/performance. is it that specific one?

It's not that specific one. But I played that Asa-Chang and Junray record a lot and haven't thought of it in a long time.

I do wonder if I have heard that exact sample somewhere else though.

damn, i am loving the album (Jun Ray Song Chang, by Asa-Chang & JunRay). "Hana" i somehow know very well from before, as i mentioned upthread. but i've never listened to the rest! "Jippun", in particular, reminds me (INCREDIBLY FONDLY) of hosono's Cochin Moon (and on that, "upper floor" but also other parts) as well warp stuff of that era
