Sampling is not just a music-making technique: it is a legacy that has shaped the evolution of electronic music.
Celebrating over three decades of this transformative art form, Ninja Tune and Tracklib ask music producers to write the next chapter. And the stakes could be life-changing with a $10,000 cash prize and an official release on Ninja Tune on the line.
The collaborative contest is part of a larger tribute to the rich history of sampling in electronic music, highlighted in a comprehensive 30-minute sample breakdown video produced by Tracklib. The video explores the evolution of sampling from the underground hits of the 1990s to the club anthems of today, highlighting artists such as Daft Punk, The Prodigy, Skrillex and more.
For those who have dreamed of joining the ranks of artists like Bonobo, Jayda G or Bicep, now is your chance. Aspiring producers can submit their work for free for a chance to be part of the Ninja Tune legacy.
In addition to the cash and record deal, the winner will receive a lifetime VIP Max subscription to Tracklib, giving them unlimited access to samples to fuel future creativity.
Submissions close in just under three months. Don't miss your chance to enter the Ninja Tune and Tracklib sample contest. here.
