Sampling has become increasingly popular over the last few decades and this means that many of the most well known songs of the era are actually extensively based on other older, less well-known songs. So today we are going to take a look at 11 songs based on samples of older records.

Here’s interesting example of sampling giving new life to a song that initially flopped: the 1978 song “Street Player” by the band Chicago was not a hit at all, and would likely have been completely forgotten . . . but in 1995, producer Kenny Gonzalez, under the moniker of “The Bucketheads,” released the hit dance track “The Bomb,” which consists entirely of samples from “Street Player.” Nearly 15 years after that, “Street Player” was sampled again, this time in Pitbull’s “I Know You Want Me.”

For their debut album Since I Left You, released in 2000, The Avalanches allegedly used 3,500 samples in total across its 18 tracks. We say 'allegedly' because even the duo of Darren Seltmann and Robbie Chater, the core of the band at the time, weren't sure of the number of samples.

Been fascinated with sampling since the ‘80s and one of my all-time favorite examples of perfectly-layered long-form samples is 1989’s “What U Waitin’ 4?” by the Jungle Brothers. Aside from multiple incidental samples, the rhythm, melody, and percussion throughout are from three separate songs and work together seamlessly 🥰 Other songs have used just as many samples or more, but few seem to belong together and groove so well as this. I’ll let you unpack what the source tracks were, but would love to see it covered in a future video 😁
