Okay, I think I've got it now, thanks for the video, haha.

Yeah, from time to time you knwo, I hear music and I know that I know the melody from somewhere else... right now I can't fin an example of that but now I get it.

SoI guess that sampling is a thing that tochno and house artists do a lot?

Interesting!

Exactly!

Sampling is def something that techno & house musicians do a bunch. Also, hip hop is big on sampling. The origins of hip hop were built on sampling... you'd have someone DJ'ing records, physically looping the breakbeat in a funk song, and an MC (rapper) rhyming on top of it.

Here's a quick video talking about how it all happened. 🙂

On the note of techno and house musicians, I think Daft Punk is a group that really took sampling to an awesomely artistic place. Here's a video about their album Discovery and why what they did is so special!

Very interesting videos! The story about Hip-hop was very cool, and the Daft Punk video was extremely insane!

I had to hear Face to Face after watching that part.

I get you, music is something I couldn't live without, If I had to choose between music and web development I would have a really hard time making that choice.

BTW, I have a friend that is a huge fan of Daft Punk, for sure I'll send him that video. Thank you!
