Here’s a good article I found while looking for a CPU liquid cooling DIY on Tom’s Hardware. The article is a brief introduction to audio sampling and the software and hardware tools used in audio sampling. While reading the article, I came across the following quote:

“A classic formula for an unoriginal hip hop track would be to take an old funk record, make a loop, throw it over a 2 bar hip hop beat, and repeat for that 5 minutes. People who do this are the reason that sampling is seen as stealing, unmusical, and unoriginal. This is one of the most common, and in my opinion least extraordinary uses of sampling.”

So the article fits perfectly with the entire Recycle Week! philosophy. It also makes mention of the “Amen Break” used as backdrops to numerous Hip Hop and Jungle tracks. Alright, so enough talk, here’s the link for your reading pleasure: Tom’s Hardware - A brief introduction to sampling audio.
