Radio LBB: KPM Sampled

EMI Production Music recently teamed up with WhoSampled and Ableton for the third edition of Samplethon: an event which gives up-and-coming producers access to rare and sought after sample material from a leading music library to produce new music under the guidance of world class producers. With that in mind, we wanted to explore the many sample uses from our flagship label, KPM.

KPM has been used as a source for samples by countless acts over the years; including Jay Z, Drake, Mark Ronson, Nelly, Fatboy Slim, Schoolboy Q, Gorillaz, Jurassic 5 and many more. These and other commercial artists have utilised compositions and recordings by KPM artists who may not be household names, but who have created some of the best-loved TV themes of all time as well as other famous musical hooks.

Our KPM Sampled playlist includes commercial tracks from the likes of Drake, Common and Fatboy Slim, as well as their respective library counterparts.
