WATMM featured artists that have been sampled?

I'm only aware of this Susumu Yokota song, where he samples Aphex's Nanou 2:

This whole "mixtape" is funny. There's a lot more Boards of Canada on it.

Also Kanye's Blame Game track is Avril 14th.

and there's The Lonely Island SNL digital short called Iran (So Far) which also uses Avril 14th.

maybe something in a girl talk album? too lazy to think straight

Front Line Assembly sampled both Second Bad Vibel by AE and also Ventolin by Aphex Twin. It was a big controversy when it happened because back then there was still some level of 'taboo' against sampling stuff that was really new. Now people sample everything and there is no longer a 'line'

What's up with Lil B and IDM? I've heard him over BOC and U-Ziq now!

He didn't sample, he used Aphex Twin tracks twice in great, but insanely hyped mash-up DJ sets that Illegal Art deemed "albums." They're really just Girl/Boy song and Windowlicker paired with "Throw Some D's On It" and "Crank Dat" respectively. You're right though, and it was nice seeing people point to Aphex Twin so much even if thousands of others had already done the same kind of mash-ups and gimmicky use of rap acappellas for shits and giggles before he did.

whosampledwho has become a pretty decent resource (except for Autechre, just one cited for them)''

Apparently they refused to confirm Aim's circa 1999 sample of "Xtal" (or the same use of that vocal anyway)

I remember seeing a few Russian electronic tracks filed under "misc" on a .ru website that shared RDJ's entire discography in both .mp3 and .flac including a 20kps Records release as well as some bootlegs that mashed Aphex Twin with Prodigy.

List of the Front Line Assembly remixes John E. mentioned: http://xltronic.com/mb/28929/faq.php3

wow, had no idea...so I guess BIll Leeb is such a big aphex fan he sampled them this many times:

Front Line Assembly's "Retribution"
Aphex Twin's "Ventolin"

Front Line Assembly's "Fatalist"
Aphex Twin's "Wax The Nip"

Front Line Assembly's "Dead Planet"
Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker"

Front Line Assembly's "Paralyzed"
Aphex Twin's "Isopropanol" (bassline)

Front Line Assembly's "Circuitry"
Aphex Twin's "Isopropanol" (high pitched sqeals and
bangs)

Front Line Assembly's "Infrared Combat"
AFX's "Isopropophlex" (acidic element of drum pattern,
repeated whole song)

Front Line Assembly's "Oblivion"
AFX's "Isopropophlex"

Front Line Assembly's "Barcode"
Aphex Twin's "Dodeccaheedron" (Drums)

there was a popular AE clone act on watmm for a while called 3tronik until a few of us realized he was sampling from Confield, Gantz Graf and Draft to sound so similar to AE.
Also doesnt that guy KiNK sample from RDJ a bunch?

yeah apparently this Kink guy was popular at one time, so much so that no one called him out in this thread except for me, Atop and Brian
seriously fucking weird, I still have no idea how this guy doesn't get called out more

(totally better than the original)

There's a bunch of random ass trip-hop artists i've heard sample various SAW tracks in certain beats...

I find this fascinating lately, sometimes great and sometimes frustrating, it really runs the whole spectrum of true novelty to shameless aping for me.

In some sense it's eliminated a great sense of sampling canon - for instance you can regularly listen to any 90s hip-hop, drum n' bass, trip-hop, etc and perpetually run across the same samples and samples of samples (basically like internet memes now) whereas now there's almost a new injection of trainspotting when it comes to new music. I think that's someone like Clams Casino struck a chord - instead of another fucking James Brown + soul 45rpm record flip he took Bjork and Imogen Heap vocals (and even a generous sample from the post-hardcore band Thursday) - all albums of the mid-00s. (He's hardly the only such producer but he just came to mind first.)

Also, the idea of bootlegs, mash-ups and unofficial/underground mixtapes seem so irrelevant now whereas they were solid concepts even say, 5 years ago - legal ramifications are nil since so much new music that liberally samples is released for free anyway. The idea of crate-digging has morphed too - it's no longer old records or even CDs but youtube rips and .mp3s of .zip albums.

The nuances of sampling in the past were quite remarkable - I remember a Mark Pritchard interview where he mentioned Jedi Knights had found themselves dealing with a legal headache when Prodigy sampled one of their songs for their hit album Fat of The Land. The bars of percussion in question were cut-up by Jedi Knights but ultimately a sampled breakbeat itself. They asked to be credited to only find out XL Records bought the rights to the song the Jedi Knights sampled and threated to countersue! The story and samples are here: http://www.whosampled.com/sample/view/19937/The%20Prodigy-Climbatize_Jedi%20Knights-Air%20Drums%20From%20Outer%20Bongolia/ I can't imagine this shit happening now (don't get me wrong, money still talks and lawyers are still weapons of corporations) - the internet just often sorts it out way too fast.

It's a mixed bag overall but I find the lack of arbitrary and contradictory "rules" of sampling to be fading overall - the offset is of course there's still plenty of crap to wade through.

Aphex Twin's Metapharstic intro sampled by Panacea on his noisy D+B classic "Low Profile Darkness".

I think there are some Drukqs samples in this track, but I'm not 100%

There's a SAW 2 sample in here as well. Pretty obvious too.
