origin of samples forum?


theorie

Recommended Posts

The samples forum has been started and can be found here. Please use this thread only for discussion of the forum, and NOT for samples!

-------------------------------------------------

 

Would it be a good idea to have an origin of samples forum? Whenever I hear a vocal sample in a tune I'm always intrigued as to where it came from. I'd be happy to go through some vinyl and make a note of the tunes which contain samples that I know the origin of, and I'd be very interested to find out where some samples in tunes come from.

 

Just a thought.

Yep. But first have to get back in one piece... (currently working in the US for a few days).

 

Then try to figure out how to incorporate things... (and try and get an update out... and a better one than the "whoops... wasn't supposed to copy this file yet" update from a few weeks ago :oops:).

Mind that I took a look at Manipulator's list and it's quite varied (cheerio, m8!), so i tried to make a complementar one, k?

 

Ultramagnetic MCs - A Chorus Line> 4 Hero - Cookin Up Yah Brain (vocal)

Eddie Drennon & BBS Unlimited - Do What You Gotta Do> guitar loop on DJ Die - Driver

Ten City - Whatever Makes You Happy> vocals on Isotonik - Different Strokes

Ce Ce Rogers - Someday> vocals and piano on Liquid - Sweet harmony and vocals on Urban Shakedown - Some Justice

Soul II Soul - Back To Life> Higher Sense - Cold Fresh Air, Higher Sense - Listen Up, DJ SS - Rollidge (with that accapella version is just too easy, innit?)

Chez Damier & Stacey Pullen - Forever Mona> strings on the 2nd drop of Subect 13 - Mystical Flyte

Acid Rain - The Wind> 303 loop on C4C - Slimeball

Rhythm Is Rhythm - will recall the name of the tune soon> SUAD - 20 Pounds To Get In

 

From movies: I'm quite sure someone once mentioned the samples from Mixrace - Mixrace Outa hand being from the flick Warriors, most likely they are, also from the same movie, Peshay sampled that same female radio DJ voice for I Need You on Hardleaders.

Some of the most obvious we tend to forget (at least I couldn't spot it on Manipulator's list):

Public Enemy - Can't Truss It> Nasty Habits - Here Come The Drums

Ultramagnetic MCs - A Chorus Line> Acen - The Life And Crimes Of A Ruffneck ("hold the beat, stop the beat, gimme a second")

Chromatic II - U Got Me> Public Enemy - Megablast

Grand Unified - Goin' On> Stevie Wonder - Too High

Gwen Guthrie - 7th Heaven (Larry Levan mix)> synth on the intro of DJ Krust - Asian Love Dance

John Holt - Ali Baba> Hopa & Bones - Ali Baba

Stephanie Mills - Put A Rush On Me> vocal "you got to slow dooooown" on Manix - Slow Down, and there's a "baaaabeee" vocal sample that was extensively used by many hardcore artists, but the 1st and only one to come to mind right now is On Remand - Controllin' rmx (Crackhouse)

The Orb - Majestic> intro with FX and "there's no such reality as..." sampled on Ram Trilogy - No Reality

First Choice - Let No mand Put Asunder> sampled by everyone who used that "I've got something for your mind your boy and your soul" and also Rhythm On The Loose - Break Of Dawn

Maze feat. Frankie Beverly - Twilight> Goldie - Sensual (but it's properly credited on the album)

Mantronix - Bassline> bassline on SUAD and Ragga Twins - Whipe The Needle

Zapp - Computer Love> "compuuuuteriiiise" bit on Ganja Kru - Cops

Logic - The Warning> John - The Warning

A Tribe Called Quest - Jazz (We've Got)> "Now I gotta scat and get mine, underline, The jazz" vocal bit on DJ Dextrous - Musically Abstract

 

and Manipulator, you put Altern-8 - A D8 With Plezure as being sampled from Black Riot, innit? I don't think so, cos the name of the tune implies another one where they took the main riff and those rainforest samples from: Plez - I Can't Stop (Acid Rainforest Mix), classic brit acid house tune.

Thanks for all the info... I'm a bit pressed for time as I'll be abroad for a week soon, but I'll just have to update the list soon :)

 

the female vocal and male ragga sample on Tom & Jerry - Air Freshener

the female vocal used on Tronik 100 - One Day and X-Static - Free (Production House) "one day we'll all be freeee"

 

Would have to dig up X-Static, but the vocal looks like it's Adeva. Would have to look up which one, but from the vocal I guess it's Paul Simpson ft Adeva - Musical Freedom.

 

So, should I send you my bank account? Or do you prefer PayPal? :lol:
