Awesome Samples

The Daft Punk track Face to Face brilliantly chopped up samples from 20 songs from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Music producer Nickster challenged himself to create a new version of the track using newer samples from songs by LCD Soundsystem, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, MGMT, and others. We’re impressed with how he captured the spirit of the original.

De La Soul’s “3 Feet High And Rising” is one of our favorite albums of all time. It simultaneously melded infection grooves and lyrics with esoteric breaks that defied conventions. Now, learn about (almost) every sample that was used on the record in this great clip from nama hecc.

The Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique is one of the greatest rap albums of all time. As was the case with most of their tunes, they relied heavily on samples to create their beats. In this clip from Nama Hecc, they provide a comparison of each track with the samples they so brilliantly incorporated.
