Britney Spears. Good deviation from all the R&B samples in funky music

God bless you, sir....

It's odd that people only recognize creative sampling if they can spot the sample used. Obviously, there are some producers who just put a kick drum over a straight loop, and there are certainly different levels of inventiveness and that...but a lot of sampling strikes me as lazy.

I'm surprised that, given that the whole of our album is essentially made of samples, only two of the sources have ever been spotted ('The Bad Thing', for example, uses a hit 80s pop record, but it's cut up beyond all recognition to make it our own track, which is how I think sampling should be used). Actually, rather than creative sampling, maybe it's just that nobody's really listened to the album...

Anyway....I think Akufen's micro-sampling technique is a perfect example of being really creative with cribbing sounds.

Realized nobodys mentioned Pogo yet, I'd say making songs entirely of film samples is pretty creative!

Mind you, I do think this is a great use of a Jean Michel Jarre sample...

i don't want to offer crappy examples after mat's schooled us BUT i quite like the simplicity of the samples in (BEAR WITH ME) jump by kriss kross - three notes from i want you back, took me years to cop it - and made you look by nas - a tiny snippet of apache. both used tiny bits of very famous songs and built entirely new tracks around them.

as said already the world is littered with amazingly simple hip-hop samples, not just straight beat over a loop.

In Timesup (Kingdom Remix) and Skanky - Make It Hot. Does anyone know where Mount Kimbie got any of their samples from?

But I disagree. Creative sampling shouldn't be how well known or not well known it is

Think what I meant was not how well known the track is but how well the track is used, how obvious is the sample in terms of is it just a big chunk of a song, or is it snippets that have been creatively looped and chopped and turned into something else.

I know what your sayin Matt but kind of disagree with you on the point of "if its obvious, its not creative". Many tracks can use an "obvious sample" but put it in a context were it turns into something else better than the original track. The most obvious I cn think of now is Stardust...

It basically uses a 3 second sample of a Chaka Khan track looped. So obvious to anyone who knows the track yet to me is genius use of a sample and a reminder of how it should be done.
