Today’s post is a celebration of samples. Be it lyrical or musical, there’s nothing quite like a well used sample in a track. Some are obvious, but a great use of source material. Some are so subtle and clever that you spend the entire song trying to figure out where you know it from. Some are better than the original song....some are fucking terrible and murder the original! Here are a few of my favourites.

Whenever I play this track out, someone will always come and ask me it’s name. The sample is taken from (unsurprisingly) an Abba song called ‘If It Wasn't for the Nights’. Only the opening bars from the original track have been used, but it’s incredibly catchy...total sunshine music.

‘X-Girl’ samples the vocal from ‘Nobody's Supposed To Be Here’ by Deborah Cox. Personally I’m not a fan of the original, so for me this a perfect example of taking lyrics from a mediocre song and making it into something amazing. 

The first time I heard this I was scratching my head trying to figure out where I knew the lyrics from....I got there eventually. Brilliant sample from ‘My love’ by the old Trousersnake himself!

‘No’ samples a couple of lines from No Scrubs - TLC, and turns them into a slow building, hypnotic track.
