Various Artists ‘Digging the KPM Vaults’

“Sony EMI’s famed KPM Music label has been producing high quality recordings for use in Film, Television and Radio for over four decades. WhoSampled arranged for a group of renowned UK diggers, producers and beatmakers to be granted access to the label’s archive of recordings. Their task: to curate a collection of the best of this sought after sample material from which new compositions could be created. The recordings selected during that process were subsequently made available to 20 up-and-coming producers at ‘Samplethon‘, a unique ‘Hackathon for Music Producers’, at which those producers competed against one another and the clock to create new music based on the archive material. ‘Digging the KPM Vaults’ is a new release on the KPM label showcasing the winning entries produced at the event alongside tracks from the artists who made up the event’s panel of judges and mentors: The Action Pact, Chris Read & Lumi HD and Shawn Lee.

The collection is currently available as part of KPM’s libary music offering for use in Film, TV and Radio and a commercially available digital release. A limited edition 10″ vinyl release is to follow.”
