A man that has many personalities Zev Love X, King Geedorah, Viktor Vaughn, Metal Fingers, DOOM.

This week we dig into the villain inspired production of DOOM and dig into those for the samples. We will also hear a Sample Culture first interview from Roel van den Heuvel who took a long journey to dig for the Arrow Root/Next Levels sample.

Hearing the sad news of the death of Florian Schneider, one of the founding members of the Kraut Electro group Kraftwerk, I realised that I had not posted this episode from 2018. This is when we were a 2 hour show. Lots of discussion and me bringing TP into the folds of Kraftwerk and their unquestionable influence on Kraftwerk. This episode was a deeply personal one for me, as I am a super fan. It was on the books as an idea for an episode since day 1 of the show. As always we will hear songs from Kraftwerk, and the artist that have sampled them. Though he has not been an active part of the group since 2008 his legacy lives on. We hope you enjoy this episode. RIP Florian thank you for you amazingly perfect music.  -Sleeper --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sampleculture/support

The influence that the Beatles have had on music is immeasurable. Their short run from 1960's-1970's yielded a body of music that has been covered thousands of times and a few (if you could afford it or wanted to be sued) samples. We have covered direct samples of the Beatles on a previous episode, so this week we wanted to dig in on samples from artists that have covered the Beatles.  This show was recorded back in March at the very beginning of this Coronavirus nonsense. I have one other episode and I believe that will be the fateful end of our program. Thank you to all those who have listened and supported us over the last 3 years. We have mad love for each and every one of you! Stay safe!   --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sampleculture/support
