I love sampling and think it’s one the most innovative and versatile musical techniques ever created, so this three minute short by Eclectic Method hits the right spot. A Brief History Of Sampling starts off with The Beatles and moves on to the foundations of hip-hop: the breakbeat. He even touches on jungle and drum-n-bass, and showcases some of the most famous loops to reach our ears. Give it a watch.
