How many tracks can you name?

So, there was a LOT of sampling back in the day, and I love finding the original samples of tunes. Here is a little mix of (I think) original sources for some big tunes. There are 54 tunes in the mix. Why 54 tunes? No idea. 

I'm looking for 2 things for each tune: 

1) ANY tune that has sampled the original track, in any way - preferably hardcore/old school/happy hardcore/d+b etc, but whatever

2) The original track name (I don't care about spelling, which mix it is, what year, what label etc, just what's the basic tune?) 

So, there are 2 points available for each track, score is out of 108. Up for it? 

What's the prize? Internet glory (i.e no prize). The mix will be available for the next week. You can download it and it will fit onto a CD, which is nice. Mine's going in the car. It'll then be gone, but available from me lol. 

Most tracks were ripped back in the day for the music, but there are some where the vocal was really caned. Some tracks are eeeeeasy, some are more obscure, and it's a dance themed mix at 125bpm - I KNOW a couple of tunes have had to be played offensively slow to fit in, leave me alone. And yes, there are a couple of tracks near the end that have definitely seen better days, again leave me alone. There also may be a part 2, more techno-y mix.

The tracks are (almost) in alphabetical order, which should make IDing easier.

You can Shazaam etc, but then you're a cheating cheater. And nobody likes a cheating cheater.

Trainspotting

The "Where have I heard those vocals?" quiz... 33 Old School Hip Hop tracks, mashed together. Can you fill in the blanks of where these were most famously sampled? Obviously this will be Hardcore/Happy Hardcore/Drum & Bass related. It's the track's VOCAL that was used - for some this means there is only 1 answer, others have more than 1 answer. Don't go obscure, go for the most obvious! Hints have been given...

Trainspotting 2 - Train Ignoring

Shadowplay: Producer/Remixer/DJ.

"I have always loved music... and often felt that somehow I got more out of it than those around me, like certain sounds, tracks, albums spoke to me on a level that others didn't hear, it was like code"

Shadowplay has been passionate about music (especially electronic sounds) since a very early age. Getting his first keyboard at the age of 14, primitive decks and a mixer soon followed, along with production attempts that have suspiciously been lost....

Whilst his school friends were listening to Bananarama and Bros, Shadowplay was listening to the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Ice Cube, Janet Jackson, Bomb the Bass, Technotronic, Shades of Rhythm, Beats International, Mantronix, The Human League, Adamski... and loving every second of it - however it was his introduction to the UK Hardcore sound in 1990/1991 that changed everything...

"It was like a light switch, a door opening, a world of possibility - my generation's punk, or disco. Totally new, yet using elements of soul, funk, hip hop, acid, all fused together, which gave the records a kind of warped history. Not only that, it moved so quickly, within a year it had moved from the likes of Isotonik and M D Emm, to JMJ and Richie, Omni Trio and Bukem... it felt as if we were all part of something that was bubbling under the surface, covert, like a family."

Shadowplay's productions are atmospheric and cinematic, inspired by his love of film soundtracks, and move between Drum and Bass, Hardcore, Breakbeat, Dubstep and Techno.
