- Seizure warning - this video contains some flashing images etc.
1. There have been new finds from Endtroducing..... since this video was put out - so there are samples missing in the video.
2. Small video zooming error at the Stem/Long Stem part.
3. Release date error in the vide on Run's House at 11:52. It was released in 1988 not 1970. Slip up from me, sorry!
4. Soul Food is NOT the drum break sampled in Building Grain. This was confirmed by DJ Shadow in an interview:
The percussion is from a high school record. In the '60s and '70s primarily, you know, any local high school or college would, in addition to having a yearbook, the school would pay to press 500 copies of the school band and what they were up to. That's where the drums come from.

DJ Shadow Endtroducing Samples
The Samples From DJ Shadow's Endtroducing
All Samples Endtroducing - Hudba
Always thought of Shadow as a groove archeologist digging up ancient musical relics everyone else had long forgotten about. His masterful ability to take bits and pieces from a multitude of discordant sources, and piece them all back together again with seamless finesse is something truly admirable, and yes I would say a true art form! Purists' have often shouted "theft!," and maybe that could be said in some cases, but I like to think of sampling more as a kind of sound "collage" - and Shadow's ear for this kind of decontextualization is virtually unrivaled, he's most definitely in a league all his own. In the "Scratch" documentary, Shadow had made a very compelling philosophical musing about the basement of records stacked from floor to ceiling that resembled a kind of graveyard, where music/bands went to die. As he sat there surrounded by stacks of wax he said something like "whether you want to admit it or not, this is where your music is going to end up" basically forgotten. Which makes me wonder, what if DJ culture and sampling had never come along? All of that music, all of that vinyl, all of those breaks..just sitting there molding away in storage keeps and basements totally neglected, ignored, left to "die." What a waste! Say what you will about the art of sampling ("art" when it is done well), but if it weren't for people like Shadow a lot of good music from the past would of been totally forgotten and maybe even lost forever. Anyways...great video, thanks for the incredible breakdown!!!
👏👏👏👏
This is an absolutely epic comment.
You sir tell the truth. I like to say that Sampling is curating History of sounds.
@@MarkusAudio "Curating history of sounds" I like that!
Epic comment, thank you!!
*The* album to give someone who doesn't think sampling is an art. This was also the best example (in my opinion) of the Akai MPC-60.
What kills me is when people do the same thing with visual art, collages and all that shit, most people love it. But when someone does it with music they get labeled as unoriginal and untalented. I don’t know about you, but I don’t know anyone with this kind of skill and talent to crate dig to this level and make such a brilliant piece of art from it
And The Avalanches - Since I left you
Avalanches are ace.
Also don't miss DJ Cummerbund. Taking it full out beat matching video too.
@@eniakk Thanks for mentioning those artists. Just recently came across another master mixer named Bill McClintock...DAMN!!! Is all I can say. I highly recommend him as well.
@@freethinker79 Bill McClintock, just queued up two pod interviews and will peruse the tube when on wifi. Looks very promising (metal mashups🤘)! Thank you, Sir.
This should be in the Library of Congress. Incredibly inspiring.
Thank you all for the positive comments on this video. Really appreciate it. I planned to do a video like this for long time, but I actually managed to put it together in only one day!
Here's some updates about the video itself:
1. There have been new finds from Endtroducing..... since this video was put out - so there are samples missing in the video.
2. Small video zooming error at the Stem/Long Stem part.
3. Release date error in the video on Run's House at 11:52. It was released in 1988 not 1970. Slip up from me, sorry!

Are you on Instagram Nic?
that's insane. how did you manage to find all the obscure samples so easily? just googling from people who found them individually?
@@flzrian3623 Whosampled & some other sites. There was I believe, a rym list dedicated to Shadow samples + some blogs.
This is amazing
**smh in commiseration/resonance** 😂
So much work!
Thank you for doing this!
It's really important & gives a path toward deeper understanding of this album's/artist's importance & of the art's importance overall.
I'm only 4 minutes in and I had to pick my jaw off the floor after seeing the number of samples he used just in the into. I bought this CD as a teenager not knowing who or what DJ Shadow was but it was an import and the cover still talks to me. At the time I had no idea I had stumbled upon one of the greatest albums ever recorded. DJ Shadow is simply amazing! The musical genius to be able to hear this album in all those samples.
I’m 5 minutes in and I’m like today he would owe a billion dollars in royalties 🙄. He got busy. Room had to have a million records in it.
Now have a look at Beastie Boys' records.
@@simonyricools "Whatcha Want" was my ring tone for years. Love Beastie Boys. :)
@@df5826 Glad to hear that :)
I used to listen to this on repeat while coding in my first job. Legendary.
shadow sampled frickin ORION, the absolute mad lad!
This album is the greatest possibly of all time, I have nothing but love for every nuance of this thing man. This and preemptive strike are timeless masterworks from the musical gods spoken through shadow. All seriousness the man is visionary and I’m so glad beyond belief Endtroducing exists
its outstanding that you would take the time to put something like this together.
so when you think of shadow doing it on an mpc60 , it really puts it to perspective
what the endtroducing album really is all over again!
nothing else like it& ive known that since 96. and i would guess anyone else here has always known too,
thank you for doing this
the guy @ the hobby shop been listening to this album since 96 and this is the first time I’ve ever seen it broke down. Fucking amazing.
thank you
There’s no doubt. He does it for the love and not the glory. I’ve always been impressed and astonished by his gifts that he’s blessed everyone with.
I really feel like not many people realize how incredible his work is. I’m glad I’m not one of them.
What's crazy, it took shadow 10 years to find all of the samples for this record. It's a masterpiece
And still not all of them are completely found
the secret was to find excellent drum beats and put them front and centre
these references are so diverse I'm respecting this album a whole lot more
Honestly i think this is the most impressive electronic album of all time. It beats out Since I Left You because there were so many members of the avalanches, dj shadow did endtroducing all on his own
I think what DJ Shadow created here is an artform in the world of music that didn't get enough attention that it deserves. This Album is a masterpiece that has to have its place in music History. There is electronic music, classic or rock music, many influential milestones of each genre, and what DJ Shadow created here....
You have to respect DJs and producers from pre "modern" times. So much time and energy looking for samples, cutting them up, arranging them, and maintaining the creative headspace to make it all into something new and exciting. We (creative types) have really become spoiled with technology and the availability and ease of being able to make music... Albeit not all good music
The genius sampling of this album aside the video structure is great and very well put together (fits this type of video perfectly)
this record taught me a very important lesson in sampling, basically, the world truly is our oyster
I've been waiting for someone to make a video like this for a while now, nice job
That is so much trial and error and just listening to records. The hours put in by Shadow is hard to fathom. Thank you for this.
Much MUCH bigger and beyond magnificent. Music life changing.
I remember reading a review of Endtroducing in Urb magazine when it first came out. I went right out and bought it and was blown away. The whole album is great and it holds up so well this many years later. Thanks for putting this video together. I literally searched "making endtroducing" and found exactly what I was looking for.
I always thought the drum sample on 'Midnight in a Perfect World' included 'When the Levee Breaks', because of the drum reverb, but now I know it's not in there. Thanks for the video!
This guy DJ Shadow, he may be one of the most underrated “artists” or DJ’s in history. And I don’t mention that lightly.
The amount of work behind this album... amazing
Such an underrated artform
Absolutely
Changeling is in 7/4 .. which in itself is a unique and difficult Time Signature to write .. and with samples belonging to other time-signatures to boot.
It really is a true testament of his skill.
sampling, believe it or not, IS an art. this man really indirectly showed me the endless possibilities of sampling and unearthing so many records that never seen the light of day and pretty much reintroducing them to a new audience. as someone who makes beats and digs to this day, ‘Endtroducing’ is the perfect template for anyone wanting to understand the science behind creating such compositions that go beyond the normal hip hop blueprint.
"The only worse thing than questioning sampling as an art form is to defend sampling as an art form." - DJ Shadow
wow. To the creator of this video, this is an impressive amount of work, very nice. This is the first time i've seen a "who sampled" type video done in this style and it is the best most enjoyable way for me so far.
This album has changed the course of music forever. The amount of sampling, the beautiful and flawless production done by Josh, the vast amount of moods, atmosphere and tempos covered all in this album without feeling messy is genuinely incredible. It also was labeled as a pure hip hop instrumental when it first released but soon took so many influences and endtroduces so many genres into the mix like jazz, electronic, trip hop, soul, rock, ambient, funk, classical music, soundtrack, and straight up dark ambient and so much more. Not only do some tracks sound so otherworldly and alien like but there are some tracks that hit you right in the feels and establishes moods you never had before. I'm starting to realize how genuinely amazing this album is, a masterpiece of soundscapes, dream like qualities, fast paced drum breaks and ambient qualities to it and straight up chill music you can listen to when its raining outside. Amazing album
This album changed my life. Thanks so much for putting this together
This album’s sample methodology changed my life. When I heard about Shadow’s samples (and Cut Chemist, crate diggers), I wanted to see the artists they sampled. They were SO diverse. It opened my mind in terms of where you should be looking for your influences. Shadow and the crate digger generation completely pushed me to be a more open minded consumer of the arts, because once your mindset is focused on visions instead of genres, it’s much easier to venture down unfamiliar roads
My already high regards for Shadow just skyrocketed. Incredible creativity.
A classic album
And real fav of mine. But this video is UNREAL!! What a lot of work has gone into it 👏 👏👏👏
Thank you!
What a album. Have loved it since the very first time I heard it. Incredible achievement ❤
Changeling still gives me the chills every time
Holy shit man, I commented earlier but i gotta say maximum respect for this vid. As many have said above, this really brings home the range of tunes that Shadow sampled for the album and really underlines what a masterpiece it is. Both the album and your vid are inspirational stuff. 👍👍🤘
greatest album ever made. undisputable for me
This is incredible, what a piece of work! Well done. In the interests of making your work as accurate and complete as possible and not as a criticism I noticed you have 1970 as the release date for Run's House at 11:52. This record was released in 1988.
I knew there was a mistake somewhere! Nice spot!
This record is what the inside of my brain sounds like. I’m so glad you broke down all the samples he actually used man. Been a fan of this record for I couldn’t even tell you how long and this is the most comprehensive list of the samples he actually used. Well done and god bless
I love that the algorithm brought me here - this is such a cool breakdown of a masterpiece!!
Anybody who know who this guy is knows what's up. Good job on this vid man I'm sure Shadow appreciates this content right here. Good shit bro
This has given me a deeper appreciation of endtroducing after seeing all the samples that go into it, wow 👏👏
I can only imagine how much time it took to do this. THANK YOU for such and interesting all inclusive video. How much the Shadow must do to make all this happen! Brings us together in some interesting ways, yah.
and remember he did these in the mid 90s with a mpc 60 lol. these day you can sample from the internet and using a computer with a DAW so its so much faster but definitely doesnt have the same magic.
obviously finding good samples and fitting them together still would take time. but imagine doing the same thing with crate digging, just like many people still do these days, which i respect.
The last sample on this record makes Shadow, the album, the wide array of drawn material, and simply everything THAT much cooler and complete.
This album is astonishing
Life changing record for me. When I listen back to my own music I can hear all the things that were inspired by Endtroducing. Maybe a few things that are borderline theft? 😬
Incredible effort man, thanks a lot for putting this together - favorite album ever
You are my hero!
Top tier historical breakdown! Just the shot in the arm I needed to stay on track. 😎 HHDS
13:15 - I had no idea this was from a comedy! DJ Shadow made it sound way more mysterious and ominous, as if it was from an interview about a person being unlawfully charged for a parking ticket.
Always thought it was from a film like Usual Suspects or Heat
This entire album is encompassed by an menacing and eerie aura that transforms the context of the samples used to create it. DJ Shadow was battling depression while making it and that struggle comes through sonically.

Totally. "what's really to stop them?" always sounded so sinister to me. Seemed like a major miscarriage of justice.
Goes to show what an amazing artist he is . And bringing old artists back to life . Sir amazing and glad I was there at the start. Sorry.. one last thing. Met him top top top bloke. Will never forget it . ❤
I would LOVE it if you did a video on the Private Press! It's so underrated, especially compared to Endtroducing.
Genius. Such an important album
endtroducing is a crate digger's masterpiece
this album changed my life. thanks for this
thank you for taking the time to make this...Thank you also for not using that weird voice that almost all youtubers use to do a voiceover track explaining your opinion of DJ Shadow's creative process.. And do DJ Krush "Meiso" next, please?
I think Private Press will be next, meiso - nice idea though! will add it to the list
@22:51 the fact Q is in this solidifies every aspect of dope that ever lived and WILL ever live from here on out.
Quite amazing video you created. Thanks so much for adding to such a groundbreaking album
wow... so many samples! Thanks for hunting down all the info Nic! DJ Shadow's music got me into DJ music... and I love him for it. =) Sampling Loudon Wainwright is genius =) I didn't know where most of these samples came from...
All credits go to all the people submitting to whosampled and tracking it down! thanks though, the video took a long while to make!
thank you for doing this. this album never ceases to amaze me.
Thanks for making this!
@2:10 shadow is on the record saying the drums for Building Steam came from a high school band instrumental recording and not soul food. Sounds close but it's not it according to the man himself.
Amazing to see all of the creativity and even more mind blowing to know that he pulled almost all of these sampled from the same record store, Rare Records, In Sacramento, CA. Hours a day, pouring his hands and his ears through endless LPs, 7s, 45s to grab seconds of some and most likely nothing from 95% of what he actually listened to.
You sir are an absolute legend.
This is amazing! Great work on putting it all together!😍
A fantastic piece of work! Great job!
great video. thanks for taking the time
Amazing work! Thanks for making this
This is absolutely amazing work, thanks for making this!
Genuinely amazing video. Thankyou.

Thanks for the hard work. What a feat in compilation this album is.
Brilliant work putting this together. Thank you.

Waited 20+ years for this. Amazing, thanks
Wow. A labour of love. Respect!
Incredible video documenting an incredible album
Superb work. Thank you.
Awesome job on a masterpiece, thank you 🙏
Awesome work! Thanks for this
Thanks a lot for this, man. This album changed the way I listen to music
Thanks for all the hard work Nic! It's really appreciated.
A phenomenal piece of work on a phenomenal album. Great work 👍🏻
Someone called DJ Shadow the Jimi Hendrix of sampling. Well said, I think.
i think that title belongs to J Dilla, personally
@@archol6596nah bro this album destroys donut
WOWWWW THIS IS INCREDIBLE THANKYOU FOR THIS!!! MASTERPIECE INSANEEE
This is insanely well made, dude. Holy s... Thank you so much!
thank you so much for making this. endtroducing is my favorite album of all time and i love seeing how it was crafted. excellent video.
damn doing this video is a helluva work, thanks for doing it
This is so fucking awesome to see this. Thanks for taking the time to break it all down!
Oh my god how am I happy to find this video. It made my whole day and probably much more
I’ll never forget when I was listening to a Tangerine Dream record I picked up cheap and used and stumbled upon that sample in the middle of one of the long tracks and just stopped like what?! How he used it is so masterful! This entire video has me feeling the same way--just goosebump-inducing art of the highest level.
Thanks SO much for this wonderful and inspiring walkthrough. Keep at it!
appreciate the time and effort you put into to search for all this and put it all in this one video.
while the drum breaks and song sample choices are immaculate, this album inspired me the most with sampling phrases, words, speech, and how you can use them creatively within context of your song.
I love this so much
This is putting a wonderful knife in my soul.
Awesome edit Nic! would love to see more of these Dj Shadow sampling vids 🦾
real good shit man, the amount of effort put into this videos insane. thank you so much for this.
Holy shit.... He sampled metallica!!!!! 🤘🤘
I still wonder how he got clearance from them, given they're notorious for protecting their brand.
@@Kolkio22by not telling anyone 😂
this is absolutely amazing I so appreciate this. I've always wondered where he got his samples from I was just talking about it with a friend of mine thank you so much for posting
Thank you so much for this breakdown. Really opens my eyes to the possibility of using samples
