Samples
DJ Shadow’s debut album Endtroducing….. is completely built around samples and entered the Guinness World Records as “First Completely Sampled Album” in 2001.
Usually the use of samples is part of the main artcile, but in this case there so many and without its use the album itself would not exist in its current form, that a separate sub article seemed the right thing to do.
