“I really admire the process of re-interpreting another artists work. The skill and vision it takes to pull an otherwise unnoticed vocal or drum loop out of a track and then spin around it a whole new musical creation should not be dismissed as easy. Also to have the confidence to be completely irreverent with the source material and change the feel of a track, putting your own unique stamp on it, is something I find really interesting. Haters will say that the process of sampling is lazy and unimaginative, but sampling is just a more direct and obvious form of influence. It’s fast-tracked inspiration.
