The Art of the Sample

by Blockhead

Physical: Vinyl

The Art of the Sample is a unique project for New York hip-hop producer Blockhead. He was given access to sample De Wolfe’s music library and create his own library record. In his own words “These are not typical Blockhead songs. They’re more stripped down and focused for the purpose of being used in TV and film.”

“For those who are unfamiliar with De Wolfe, they are a music library that has been doing music for film, radio and television for nearly 100 years. They make original music that gets plugged into all sorts of things and has been heard around the world. If you’re a producer, you have very likely sampled them and not even realized it. I was fortunate enough for them to allow me to make an album entirely out of their back catalogue.”
