Best 100 sampling releases

Sampling music refers to the practice of taking a portion or "sample" of an existing sound recording and using it as a building block for a new composition. The sample can be taken from any source, such as a piece of music, a sound effect, or a spoken word recording. Once a sample has been isolated, it can be manipulated in various ways, such as altering its pitch or tempo, adding effects, or layering it with other sounds. Sampling has been a popular technique in many genres of music since the 1980s, particularly in hip hop, electronic music, and pop music.
