I don't think we will be sampling as much as we do now, in the future. I mean that's what I hope for.

Instead of sampling talented drummers, jazz pianists, and other musicians. We'll take it back, literally waaay back and try to emulate or evolve what they did, and become live musicians ourselves.

And, I can see Lady Gaga in the 99 cent bin. :lol:

Since a lot of digging is for breaks i think people have to look at the kind of musicians who are putting out solid drum recordings...the mainstream is cranking out horrible, over-excited, digitally compressed crap so no point looking there. You've gotta look for the cats that are working with a lower budget to get that raw drum sound these days...I turn my ear towards a lot of punk/noise bands as well as the lo-fi/avantgarde stuff.

I suppose quite a few bands these days are still recording funk/soul/jazz stuff the 'old fashioned way'...I liked a few of those El Michaels Affair tracks (the dudes that did the Shaolin series of Wu-Tang beat covers) and the production was nice, simple and old fashioned. Quite funny to think of future producers sampling a funk band covering beats from a hip hop producer which were sampled from funk tracks!

It worked, didn't it? I can't really call that lazy, there aren't many producers who would even think to include a Clash sample in a beat.


...also, I personally like Straight To Hell. Lyrically it's sick and the drums are badass.

it might work but that doesn't mean that it ain't a lazy sample...it's virtually untouched, are you trying to tell me that it's a shining example of creative sampling?

I almost got to meet joe strummer at his house once, touring with some rich dudes who went to school with his daughter. The party/show that she was trying to organise never materialised though, and by the time we were down there again he had died... :|
