The art of sampling has been with us for four decades now. In that time, it has been used to a greater or lesser effect to lift iconic or rare snippets of sounds from countless older recordings to create completely new works. But some artists have taken sampling to an extreme, and it's those producers who we are focussing on here, as we reveal the five songs containing the most samples in recording history. But which song has the most?
Sampling revolutionised music making in the 1908s, when digital technology allowed the affordable recording of audio from absolutely anywhere to be used in your own music. If you were Depeche Mode in 1983, this meant recording rocks or bashing cars in East London to create beats. If you were anyone else, this meant lifting drums, vocals, stabs and instruments from other people's recordings to be used in your own songs.
