So last year I listened to the new clipping. album. one of the songs, Dodger, had a specific sample that i recognized, but couldn’t pinpoint. later I was listening to a Jamie xx single (Idontknow) and realized this was where I knew the sample from. I then heard it again in Attachment Style by KAVARI, at which point I put the three songs into a playlist and pored through online discussions and sample databases to figure out where it came from to no avail. I asked some friends with no luck, figured I was condemned to a life of slight annoyance and mostly gave up.

Over the next six months I continued to hear that sample in more and more songs (pic related). Every once in a while I would listen to the playlist and try to find the sample. Eventually I realized that while I thought it was a single vocal/drum hit, the sample actually contained an entire break. This immediately led me to a forum thread that revealed the source. This song has one famous break in it that’s been sampled heavily in rap music, but it has a lesser-known second break that’s common in UK bass and breakcore / electronic scenes. It was this break that is present in all the songs from the grid.

Can you guess the song? The next post in this thread reveals the answer if you click through the link.
