so obviously DJ Shadow's Endtroducing is the hallmark of this genre and I am really into The Books as well...can anyone else point me to some music where samples/found sound is the focal point? really digging this kind of stuff lately, especially after finding tons of unlabeled cassette tapes and old home movies recently..could serve as inspiration

The Avalanches

Since I Left You (the album) is the pinnacle of sample based music, better than endtroducing imo.

The Books are amazing but not really sample based as most their music is actually played by them. Endtroducing is one of my all time favorite albums. Have you listened to any of these:

Beastie Boys - Pauls Boutique
Coldcut - Let Us Play
Edan - Beauty and the Beat
Demdike Stare - Voices of Dust (anything by them is worth checking out really)
Oh No - Dr No's Oxperiment or Dr No's Ethipoium
J Dilla - Donuts

New Quasimoto album (Yessir Whatever) sounds stunning, tons of gold samples - it's out June 18th tho:

You can also check some 2000s big beat/turntablism stuff like early Dj Krush (earlier records - also later ones are good, but there's less samples), The Wiseguys, Mr. Scruff, Towa Tei, Titan (that was a Mexican big beat act which became famous for this I think - album was cool!) Bentley Rhtythm Ace, Dj Cam... Skint Records and Ninja Tune released lots of turntablism/heavy-sampling music back then.

Or well, you can obviously check hip hop instrumentals - Madlib, J Dilla and Premier got the illest samples!

Also Panda Bear's Person Pitch

Pretty much any noteworthy hip-hop record

I'm going to bring up something non-hiphop related by mentionin Martin Tétreault and his album La Nuit Où J'Ai Dit Non. Pierre Schaeffer and musique concrete in general also need to be mentioned.

I still can't stress how important it is to listen to The Avalanches if you're looking for sample based music.

Unkle-Psyence Fiction is a great one.

J dilla
Madlib
The Avalanches

for a slightly different flavor Greg Hale Jones
"Now there is a tree of ghosts"
but definitely add Boll Weevil to that from Crossing the Willamette.

Four Tet - Rounds is a lovely album.

Akufen - My way is making heavily use of samples. Nice album too!

The Avalanches, especially their song Frontier Psychiatrist

Can't believe no one has mentioned The Books!

We did. First and third comment of the thread

'Dday One' is fairly sick on the pads. Check out this tune:

well, i did just recently post about our label, but all of my productions are sample-based and i'd be damned if someone called me out on any of the source records... www.ambreakups.bandcamp.com

^shout out to Myrtle Avenue.


I know this was already mentioned but I cannot begin to say how amazing the record is... J Dilla went inward with this one and chopped/screwed one of the most raw things I've ever heard. I posit that J Dilla and Boards of Canada have a lot in common.



going to be lame and share a personal anecdote: at a Mos Def/Robert Glasper Experiment show this past April I gave Glasper the Stones Throw t-shirt with the Donuts graphic off my back and he took it and changed into it on stage... then proceeded to rep it and rip through Umi Says. so hyped!

Kid Koala
Mr. Dibbs
Cut Chemist
Golden Age hip-hop

Yeah, Paul's Boutique by the Beasties is the Sergeant Peppers of sampling.
