World record broken for number of samples used in one track?
You know we mentioned we were launching new sites? Well, as part of the launch of one of them, we’ve commissioned a mash-up. And it seems to have broken a world record.
The Quietus asked DJ Osymyso to concoct a sonic puzzle which draws its sources from the last 35 years of music to represent the wide spread of genres that the site covers. What came back blew our minds. Hear it HERE.
And it turns out that DJ Osymyso has accidentally beaten the world record for number of samples used in one track. (Easily the most proficient on the album front is Girl Talk, but even DJ Earworm struggles to get more than 25 songs into one track.) We're now sitting around awaiting a call from the chaps from Guinness World Records.
The Quietus are offering an iPod touch to one reader who can untangle the mash-up and correctly identify where all the samples come from, so see how many you can guess here.

Don't the Avalanches use a fair amount of samples too?
Like, a ridiculous amount?
surely
they might be a few licensing issues with all of this?? Or does a sample have to be of a certain length to class as copywrite infringement or something?
Liek when on telly you have to say
"PICTURES FROM PLAYBOT TV" or somethingq
PLAYBOT?
Now there is a channel I'd watch.
More than Aquasky?
Nooooo chance.
its alright
kinda heard it all before mind hehehe...

"...debut album Since I Left You, which was assembled from approximately 3,500 vinyl samples."
if i log on to the Quietus - which i won't -
will i see relentless and shameful advertising for DiS on there too? GOODY
Osymyso
is a legend. But does this track really use more samples than his own 'Intro Introspection' which used samples from the intros of 100 different well-known songs?
gah
I got 39 on my own which is an annoying amount to get really.
I assume it's a world record for a cleared sample list?
liar
you got 5, admit it. and one of them was 'we will rock you'.
you caught me
the other four where the theme from South Park, "Hoots Mon", "Creep", "Yellow Submarine" and "Born In The USA"
were
not where obviously.
log onto Rolling Stone
Blabbermouth, Metal Hammer, NME.com and CMU Daily and you'll see some shameful advertising for http://www.ThrashHits.com
Boycott them all. I dare you. Tee hee.
so shouldn't count I guess
anyone could throw a bunch load of samples over a beat and claim this record...
