sampling issues, looking for a startpoint
hello and death to you all
i've got serious issues finding good themes for my tracks, sounds that will give them some character,
so i thought i'd stop being so lazy and start sampling some shit.
first thing i thought of was sampling jazz (thelonious monk and miles davis to start with) for some stabs etc.
i know it sounds way too classic, but the genre is a good source in general.
whatdja think?
got any advice or favorite records for me to rip off?
doesn't have to be jazz, just looking for some ideas...

mash it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you wanna destroy some jazz do it with the masters: Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and Coltrane. They are insane!
As divtech said B-movies, gore movies, horror flicks, bizarre stuff have really good ideas to work with! just cut the dialogs and you will find some verry interesting material. Also TV and radio are good sources...
And yeah Stazma is right!!! rip the music you usually hear , you will have more fun mashing it up man...

Most of my more recent tracks have been sped-up pastiches of either oldskool rave or ragga jungle, neither of which I listen to very frequently, but I enjoy those genres nonetheless. The oldskool rave pastiches are usually repetitive, thrown-together abject failures that rarely, if ever, get uploaded due to their sheer turgidity. The ragga jungle pastiches, however, are more often than not my best work.
I would recommend you find some old ragga samples, some quotes from some Adult Swim show or another that you thought was hilarious, and some random echoing bleepy noises, and get to work!

Go on a sample downloading spree, just random things even if you think they wont do anything for you.
Then browse through them in your DAW and start planning out in your head.
