Phrase sampling is great.  I'd like to repeat what Hrvatski said:

"Dummy Run, man, the way those guys use it is exactly how it should be, a
marker to dozens of styles of music. Just one loop and you bring up all of
these reference points (Northern Soul, Hip Hop, Hardcore, Ragga Jungle,
Gabber/Breakcore), I can't think of any one sound that's etched itself into
the collective conscience quite the way it has. You have to admit that
dance music is made up of a finite amount of elements (yr drums, yr pads,
yr melody, yr vox). the only way to really proceed is to reference existing
elements (what else is there?) in new contexts. late 20th century disease,
I 'spose..."


And re: Cichlisuite, does anyone know for certain whether that sound is
sampled or sculpted by putting what volume? through something like 1/sin^2 ?
