Sampleface is 6 years old today! On this day 6 years ago, the Sampleface.co.uk site was officially launched. When I started the site with Blaise Penny-Kirkwood aka 13e, I just wanted a blog to cover the music I listened to and share my experiences. 6 years later, with the help of so many people from around the world, it’s still here and still has those core…
We’re 5 years old today! Happy birthday to us! Despite the age, we must be growing old because we completely forgot it was our birthday today. It’s crazy to think we’re halfway to a whole decade of existence. We have achieved so much in those 5 years and we have no plans to stop. We just want to give a shout out to everyone who…
We interviewed Deadpoole about his latest album and his thoughts on last year’s music. Luke: Congratulations on the new album. Would you say this is your best to date? Deadpoole: Thanks so much. I think so, even right from when first I started out I was always working towards an album. The three EP’s that preceded NIGHT/LIFE were me cutting my teeth musically, figuring out…
We have our first house producer on the books with the “signing” of Xomodo. After the release of his latest album, “drfts.”, producer st/rr has decided to start a brand new side project. “I enjoyed making the French house track on ‘drfts.’ so much, I wanted to take it a bit further,” said the UK producer, “And that’s where Xomodo was born.” Xomodo is currently…
As our fourth year approaches, we have had a think about how Sampleface operates. Here is what we came up with. Sampleface has clocked just over 3.5 years of content, covering music and artists from across the globe and ocassionally other dimensions. This couldn’t have been achieved without the hard work of all our contributors and the founders. Unfortunately, Sampleface has remained more of a…

We’re into our 4th year and while the content may not be as regular as before, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for some hidden gems from the world of music and sampling. To kick things off, Thelonious Martin dropped a new gem called Afternoon Swim…
Sampleface is now 3 years old. They grow up so fast… So, it looks like we’re nearly three weeks late to our own party. On 1st October 2012, we officially launched the site and in those three years, we’ve achieved more than we could have imagined. We’ve spoken to the likes of Phife Dawg, Black Milk (twice!), AbJo and Tanya Morgan and even got a…
In this series, we look at the ways of sampling and how you can get involved. The first article is all about the basics. While looking through my Documents folder, I came across an article I had written about the art of sampling. It was inspired by someone who had asked me how you sample and while I’m by no means an expert, I thought…
We finally drop the second edition of our “Sampleface Presents... Sunday Night Jams” series, courtesy of Twelve Original Players. We must apologise for the lateness of this release as it was slated to drop over a year ago but you know how life can get. If you can remember that far back, in 2012 we released Sampleface Presents... Sunday Night Jams by Big Groove. We…
We’re proud to unveil the new logo and site for Sampleface. As you can probably tell, we have had a design overhaul at Sampleface. Our logo has been improved (more on that in a moment) and the site has had its third change in the past 3 years. The reason? Much like the best artists in the genres we cover, we never stay still and…
