About Sampleface

Sampleface is a music sampling blog. We’re here to bring sampling culture to the forefront of people’s minds. A “sampleface” is a facial expression you make when who recognise a sample or hear a song worthy of sampling. As Sampleface, we love sampling, the music it creates, and we hope you can join us on your audible journey. We face the music.
