10 samples you might recognise (and where to find them)
I thought it would be fun to show the sources of some famous samples and loops I've stumbled across over the years whilst producing music.
They come from some quite surprising and obscure places!

So
Ok the T1000 fact BLEW my mind! 😮
too much effort for too little reviews, this is a great video !!!
Why do some of these seem kind of nostalgic when i never heard them?
The Optigan shows up absolutely everywhere in incidental music if you listen closely. Music for cartoons and original advertisement music is a huge playground for the Optigan these days.
The whole world needs to know you exist!!!
Where optigan Bossa Nova style?
Minecraft and LittleBigPlanet tracks comes into mind
Weird no one has brought up using the “ ChaCha” Mellotron rhythm in the Slaggers section of the Beatles” You know my Name, Look up the Number”
My brain kept completing the songs.

Oh my god! The Eternal Sunshine one! Honestly I have spilled tears to that song, thank you so much for this.
That E-mu Shakuhachi sample is all over 90s-2000s dance music. Cool video!
I’m convinced that a lot of these samples have been used in Bollywood music too.
amazeballs
Great video Alex, love my samplers! Totally underrated device nowadays with the analog resurgence but sampling is a form of synthesis that goes under the radar too often, even old romplers can be used to create amazing "new" sounds.
yo this was a pretty cool video! thanks for showing the different loops!
The T1000 one was incredible to learn and I expected that to be the coolest takeaway from this video, but then you threw Owner Of A Lonely Heart at me straight after. And then rounded it out with It’s Not Fair!
Fascinating how long we have been sampling and remixing for. I knew it happened in RnB but had no idea that Eternal Sunshine used loops. Or that they recorded loops back in the 1970s! Todays orchestra in a box is a really logical progression that I now feel much more at ease with, so thanks! Everything is a remix!
