hahaha so true. Splice is full of wannabe trap / hiphop samples. I wasn't born in the 90's but, listening to those cds I 100%agree. Especially the best service ones.

These sample cds (especially the early Zero-G ones) pretty much defined an era and the rave movement here in the UK in the early 90’s. Without them, Dance wouldn’t have blown up like it did. The importance of these 90’s sample cds cannot be underestimated and they should be preserved - yes I get that the hits and one shots are rips, but these CDs are a part of the rave history.

zero-g still runs to this day. you can buy alot of there old sample cds in digital form now as well as a big collection of there newer sample packs. really cool!

Good stuff. I loved the cut after "Stolen Content" made me smile.

I finally got around to do this and man, not kidding there's a quite a bit of work. During the weekend I managed to rip most of the samples, all the loops off from zero-g datafile 2 and man, there is quite some work to do. 99 tracks, 8-16 samples per a track. Learned audacity hotkeys quite quickly. Thanks for the inspiration, this feels like meaningful work, there's plenty of it to do but your sample library grows more familiar and usable in the process.

Raiders of the Lost Parps! Another great source of 90's time machine vibes is samples of presets from 90s digital synths and romplers. Proteus (e.g. Planet Earth World), JD-800, Wavestation, D-50 and M1 are available, both through softsynths, and samplesets. Legowelt has a great JD-800 set, I know a lot of people rinse. In a recent video, Legowelt showed how he likes to sample arpeggios, rather than single shots, and just pitch shift them around for extra time period character goodness. Also sampled chords for Chord Memory bashing works too. And I hope someone trawls through some of the 90's rave machines like the Quasimidi Sirius, Technox, Rave-O-Lution 309 etc. I'd like to get hold of Best Service's ethno world 5. Because, dodgy 'Ethno' sampling is instant 1990s. Cultural Misappropriation FTW. On my wantlist is the more recent Best Service's ethno world 5, KSHMR mentioned is as a desert island essential for him.

Bought some Zero-G stuff from them a while ago. Funky elements has some great breaks and sounds in my opinion!

I came up with a method for sorting these multi sample track CDs. Wavepad offers a batch converter where you can trim silences and resave as separate files. Was still a lot of manual work but it saved a good amount of time over doing the cuts manually

Glad I upgraded to 2.5Gig fiber. Now I've got something to use all that bandwidth for.... to relive the 90s. I hope my Tracker doesn't have a cap on the SD card size 😂, and my MPC60 is about to get worked!

Do you use any samples that you curate yourself from media (e.g. movies, old music, etc.)? I know The Prodigy is still huge on sampling all kinds of old stuff that you never would of thought of but it doesn’t seem to be as widespread of a thing anymore most likely due to sample libraries and better copyright detection algorithms. There’s something really cool about the texture/vibe that a carefully chosen movie sample does to a song that not only sounds cool but is a way to kind of tie back your cultural influences or messages into your music without lyrics.
