Description: With electronic musicians the world over living under some form lockdown in recent weeks, we thought it the perfect time to task the with something a little different – the Sample Challenge. We gave musicians from across a range of electronic genres the same, very basic, sample pack and a set of strict rules and asked them to create us a track. The results did not disappoint – armed with just 10 loops and 20 one-shot samples, our entrants have created everything from wonky vocal pop to rolling techno, melodic house, experimental DnB and beyond. We asked each artist to create us a self-recorded video breaking down the ideas and techniques behind their creation, and we’ll be premiering a new entry every day over the coming weeks. Today's entry comes from RHYME SO – a new collaborative project linking Australian poet and songwriter RHYME with Japanese producer Shinichi Osawa (aka Mondo Grosso). Their Sample Challenge entry sees them creating a lockdown inspired – and brilliantly oddball – slice of bass-heavy, synth pop. Subscribe to Future Music magazine: bit.ly/FMUsubs
