SSP (Six Sample Project) was our first initiative after coming together as DASTA. The concept was to ‘gamefy’ music making and give ourselves restrictions in terms of time & content. 
Each of us put a sample each into a shared folder and had  1 week to finish a song using all 6 samples. We did this exercise 4 times and picked our personal favourites for this compilation. Some of the samples can be heard quite clearly but some of them have been warped, stretched and altered beyond recognition.

SSP (Six Sample Project) was the first initiative we took after coming together as DASTA. The concept was to ‘gamefy’ music making and give the participants restrictions in terms of time & sample usage.

For the second edition of SSP, we reached out to 5 prolific Indian producers to contribute a sample each into a shared folder and they had exactly 1 week to finish a song each using all 5 samples. Some of the samples can be heard quite clearly but some of them have been warped, stretched and altered beyond recognition.
