Scratchsample Archive

Hi all!

I started a Scratchsample-Archive, where you can look up popular Scratchsamples and the tracks they originally are sampled from.
Being a Turntablist since 2005 I often ran into situations where I was looking for a particular sample and simply couldnt find a record containing it, which brought me to this idea.

With over 70 entries the list is quite large for now but far from perfect. So if you know a sample/track that is missing, just leave a comment on the blog and I will add it! (please stick to the blog! as I'm sharing this in many different places, I dont have the time to look in every single forum if someone has posted a reply with a sample ;) )

If you like this project, but you're not knowing any samples, you can simply help me by sharing this :biggrin:

Heres the list:

Thanks in advance and cut it up fresh
Mr. Krabs :cool:

I already knew whosampled.com ;)

But whosampled tries to list every sample from every track ever recorded. What I do, is a quick reference especially for turntablists looking for popular wordcuts and scratch-phrases.

Whosampled works like this: you know a track and you want to know where the samples come from. My page works in the exact opposite:
you know a sample, but you got no idea what track is containing it.
I don't know how much of a Scratchnerd you are :D but believe me, for these guys there definitely is a need for something like this.

Due to legal reasons, I can't provide any DL-Links.
But I started to add links to the videos and the correct timing of the sample ;)

This Blog is existing just 3 days now, so there's a whole lot of improvement possible. I'm open to suggestions (except for an iPhone app, thats too expensive :D )
