Free Samples

with DJ Take One

Wednesdays at Midnight

Dive into the sonic DNA of music and unearth the obscure and forgotten grooves that fueled decades of hip-hop, pop, electronica and beyond. These aren’t just samples; they’re hidden gems, international treasures, and forgotten testaments to the brilliance of often-overlooked artists.

Each week, we’ll rewind the clock, dissecting the modern tracks that pay homage to these lost diamonds, and then – the real treat – we’ll play the original track in its entirety. Prepare to be surprised, delighted, and maybe even a little obsessed with these forgotten masterpieces. We’ll tell the stories behind them: the unknown funk outfit whose drum loop became a chart-topping anthem, the social movements that fueled their creation. Free Samples isn’t just about music; it’s about rediscovering the forgotten voices that shaped our sonic landscape.
