This is rather amusing...

To any artists out there trying to make progress with your own tracks I personally don't mind if you sample anything at all from our releases if it helps you progress production wise especially, having something built / ready to go can help out with the benchmark of where you need to be, but keep / use it for practice purposes. The early roots of this music were built on sampling so it's all good generally, but to take an entire (and very full) loop extract from a track (albeit a recent release on the label), add a couple of sounds of your own and then send it on to prolific artists in the scene for potential air play is a bit of a cheap move and will make you look lame more than anyone else I dare say.
I'd be grateful if any of you out there didn't do it, it's clearly noticable and comes across as a really cheap shot all round. There's plenty enough established artists out there making really decent sample packs (containing e.g. loops of built up layeyed drums on their own, single hat loops, snares, a range of sounds and basslines etc etc) all with the purpose of helping anyone elses own productions progress probably even faster than the way their own might have done years ago - and they're selling them at a really cheap price per pack too... That'd be where I'd go to.
Thank you.
