What electronic music is most sampled by producers?▾
Late 1970s and early 1980s synthesiser music — Krautrock, Italo disco, early techno, and synth pop — is heavily sampled in contemporary electronic production. Kraftwerk is the most sampled electronic act in history. Early drum machine records (TR-808, TR-909) are also widely sampled for their sonic character.
What is Krautrock and why do producers sample it?▾
Krautrock is German experimental rock from the early 1970s — bands like Can, Neu!, Cluster, and Tangerine Dream. The genre is characterised by motorik drum patterns, hypnotic repetition, and synthesiser experimentation. It is sampled in hip hop, ambient, and electronic music for its unique rhythmic and textural qualities.
