Sample of the Week #1

This is the first "Sample of the Week", a place where I post samples that electronic artists use on their songs. Sampling is a big part of the electronic genre, and the art of grabbing bits of existing songs to create something new is very tricky to learn, but really amazing when it works.

This week, let's listen to this Fat Boy Slim's great song, "Don't let the man out you down"

Notice the voice sample used right at the beggining. That sample was extracted from the Joe Cocker's song "Something", release on 1969 in the album "Cocker!". The sample starts at 1:01.




Cool, isn't it?
