Fatboy Slim, How Samplers Changed the Way Music Was Made Fatboy Slim looks back at the power of samplers and how they opened a new creative path for producers, DJs and beatmakers. By allowing artists to capture, reshape and reinvent grooves from funk, soul, hip-hop and other Black musical traditions, samplers helped transform the sound of modern electronic music.
