How to Sample: Patrick Alavi

As the world of sample-hunting and sampling in general is one I love to live in, I present to an example of some good-ass micro-sampling by our friend Patrick Alavi.

Look at that sexy sampleur.

Our story starts in 1975, with the track "It Only Takes A Minute" by Tavares.

Chop the intro up... (there's a small sample I couldn't get quite right but you get the idea)

Add a crazy shit-ton of filters and you get...

SPARTACUS!

Now that, my friends, is how you sample.

For those interested in Patrick Alavi, his Club Sport EP is available for download thanks to our friends at Solid Goldberger.

It only takes a minute (to find a great sample)...
