Rooted in spiritual music and African-American work songs, blues music is full of history. That’s why the moody melodies and ‘blue notes’ are such a fruitful source for sampling. Whether it’s twelve-bar blues from the 50s or 60s or more recent blues rock. This rich genre shouldn’t be left out of the equation of jazz, funk, and soul. Find the right roots and download blues as old as 1946.

The rich heritage of soul music captured in thousands of downloadable tracks. From ‘Soul Power’ closely related to funk, to sugar-sweet samples, to music by iconic vocal groups such as First Choice. Soul music is quintessential to sampling, so find the soul that fits yours.
