Description: With electronic musicians the world over living under some form lockdown in recent weeks, we thought it the perfect time to task them with something a little different – the Sample Challenge. We gave musicians from across a range of electronic genres the same, very basic, sample pack and a set of strict rules and asked them to create us a track. The results did not disappoint – armed with just 10 loops and 20 one-shot samples, our entrants have created everything from wonky vocal pop to rolling techno, melodic house, experimental DnB and beyond. We asked each artist to create us a self-recorded video breaking down the ideas and techniques behind their creation, and we’ll be premiering a new entry every day over the coming weeks. Barcelona-based producer and sound designer Rob Clouth has released on labels including Leisure System and Mesh. His track sees him reconstructing recordings of his own voice with the help of a self-made Max for Live device.
