You're not suggesting that your "genuinely soulful, black, ethnic-sampling" artists aren't guilty of illegal sampling, are you?

exactly, find me one sample used by the fellow people that has been cleared, in advance: kenny dixon jr, theo parrish, dj sneak, glenn underground.

You mean you wouldn't play the original or the Trentemoeller version?

nope, but then again they aren't being played in my wax salon either, so it's probably not so important they be as careful.

obviously, anyone who samples is at risk. i think risk correlates with if not corresponds to exposure.

in any case, i do think there is a sociocultural angle to sampling that goes ignored. from a technical standpoint there is no difference between someone like omar s sampling the supremes, afrika bambataa sampling kraftwerk, and djuma soundsystem sampling some turkish dude, but from a sociocultural perspective, there is actually a lot of difference, which has to do with dominant sociocultural privilege. so enjoy all y'all's colonialist, orientalist beats and i'll enjoy my radical fair-trade muzak.

but come on, we all know i'm being a cvnt, does that even need to be said? that's my angle.


ps here's an article on specifically black (well at least it seems that way) orientalism

Actually I'd say ethnic tech thieves have much less to worry about. African flutesmen probably don't have the same legal representation as Led Zeppelin.

again i think it's more of a question of exposure. 'les djinns' was released on 66 additional labels besides get physical. it's not really a question of legality for me since I support sampling as an artistic technique across the board. i don't think all sampling is created equal though as far as artistic merit and social awareness goes.

let's get a mulatu astatke up in here



in following that middle-eastern jazz funk artists are getting pissed at squeaky clean tech club artists, will this inspire the next 'les djinns' incident?



i think what the world needs is a board of hipsters who preside over declaring a song 'proper' use of sampling and 'wack' use of sampling. if it is decreed 'wack' by the board (United Sample-Based Composition Commission, or USUCC) , then the country in which the copyright issue was raised may continue with legal proceedings. If not, the track gets released on a 2CD compilation along with all of the other exonerated sample based tracks every year.

kinda lame

everything comes from something...even that original song was most likely inspired by something else that sounded just like if not exactly like it
