Classical samples in hardcore (+ others)

[vimothy]

The Gasman samples classical stuff a fair bit.

Hyper-On Experience - Assention (to the Ninth Level)

though I can't place what the sample was :slanted:
maybe a bit of Beethoven's Ninth?

there is a DJ SS megatune from circa 95 -- name escapes me -- that uses this piano etude by Beethoven called 'Fur Elise'



that's the beethoven, not the SS tune by the way -- perhaps it'll jog someone's memory though


and a quite similar in vibe classical piano piece kicks off Ray keith/renegade's "Terrorist"



although it's quite inane really so might be a piano exercise a la chopsticks

ah here's the SS tune -- the Lighter



hmmm it sounds close to Fur Elise but not quite the same -- perhaps just very badly played?!?!

The Mover, possibly in homage to this very tune, took a break from gabba and did a classical-sampling jungle tune actually under the name Beethoven

Peshay - On The Nile
uses a bit of Debussy's Syrinx

or is 1996 getting a bit late?

Yeah, I'd always assumed that was just a random bit of M1ery that he'd come up with himself.

It's all about that little bouncing noise in that tune, though.

The theme from Love Story - original soundtrack by Francis Lai:

That hardcore version of Orff's Carmina Burana...

Apotheosis - O Fortuna


That was clearly the future in 92.

Venetian Snares's album Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett is a prime example of utilizing classical pieces in hardcore, specifically his sampling of Gloomy Sunday mixing the billie holiday version and original Rezső Seress Hungarian composition performed by kronos quartet.

Theres also some dubstep track i rememebr liking that sampled some opera, carmen maybe? Cant remember right now who it was but it worked really well.

EOSS Wacko Macko Is Backo (DJ C's Babylon A Fall Mix) has a loose sort of classical sampling behind it, he may have jsut used a sampler with a string arrangement patch though so i dont know if that counts.
