This is the fourth installment of the mini-series Sampled to the Soul. Since the 1940s, when French musique concrète artists first experimented with tape loops, artists have built new compositions from existing recordings. But it was the arrival of the MPC sampler that pushed sampling into the cultural spotlight. In the 1980s and ’90s, hip-hop and electronic musicians like DJ Shadow (Endtroducing) and the Beastie Boys (Paul’s Boutique) revealed the sampler’s creative potential. That momentum slowed after a wave of high-profile copyright lawsuits. Yet despite the legal and financial hurdles, sampling remains a vital force in contemporary music.

I’ve complained in the past about modern music needing a jolt of innovation without coming off as pretentious. Phidippus seems to epitomize the desire to make great music while refusing to keep to one specific formula, making his trajectory as an artist fascinating to watch. I find Phidippus to be an immensely underappreciated musician who just needs one big hit to make his name reverberate throughout the densely packed world of electronica, and I hope that that day comes sooner rather than later.

"Is this like an RSVP thing?"

Discoteca Imaginaria every first Tuesday of the month on dublab

I once read somewhere that...
mixes are time capsules of sound. each capturing a moment in time that will not be repeated the same way. each mix is meant to transport the listener in their own time machine to their own destination. these are soundtracks for daily living..."music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything"
