So i've been making some tracks lately and my vocal samples have been lacking. I know the samples come from Old school hip hop 80s to early 90s but i can't really find anything. I've been using sites like whosampled to see how producers like Acen and Liam Howlett sample different types of music but nothing is really helping.

Youtube rap/soul/funk etc acapellas. if it's only tiny snippets you're looking for you will find them.
Years ago, I downloaded this pack full of hip hop acapellas, I'd just load them into my DAW and flick through until I found a usable sample. Cut it, pitch to fit, boom.
Have you got any links to your music?

I've got literally thousands of well known vocals and samples, but I tend to grab obscure samples from films.
Stuff people won't necessarily know. Just make sure you source good quality ones.
Smoogie
I have sampled Boris Johnson's voice

I haven't uploaded any of my newest songs yet
I'm trying to go for that acen/2 bad mice/early prodigy vibe. sometimes they transpose some times they repitch. the problem i'm having is simply finding the genres of the music and actually finding good samples

Yesterday, I started a remix of 'Johnny Jungle - Johnny' and I've sampled dialogue from 'Marked For Death', and a lazer sound from 'Lawnmower Man'.

Awesome, I've sampled a lazor from "Hackers" in one of my old tracks. Back when i was just throwing shit down in a daw and hoping it was good

The original is an old Jungle classic. Let me know when you have a finished result!
Captain Triceps
Oh every time I watch a film I constantly have a ear open for samples.
A remix I've just finished has a small vocal from an old episode of Eastenders I nabbed off YouTube!
There's thousands of sample packs out there but you have to bear in mind they have likely been used loads of times. You just need to be patient, think outside the box and look for them.

Same here, Paul. I write a reminder note on my phone to seek it out when I'm in the studio.
And you are right about thinking outside the box.

Will do Smoogie, lad. I only quickly started the project yesterday. I'll be on it tomorrow. It currently has all of the samples from the original and two breaks chopped and timed ready.
I have been working on a few Jungle remixes. Did these two last week.
The pad intro to 'Bird Of Prey' remix is actually the Toy Town stab/vox reworked in Padshop.

Wow that's great.
I'm not really into Jungle stuff but that's cool. I'm more into the Breakbeat Hardcore stuff

Just uploaded one of my Breakbeat Hardcore tracks to Youtube.

Love it!!!!!
Really like that "It's not the orginal" vocal sample
stuff like that i'm looking for. I looked up some Rap/soul/funk acapellas and found some good stuff. I really need to get to crate digging someday

Haha. That sample is off a Whatsapp voice note from a producer/engineer called Hattrixx. He was asking me about a track. I emailed the voice note to myself and converted the file to a WAV. I then imported the recording into Cubase and chopped it up. It actually worked really well.

Nice, That reminds me of Jonny L in the Anasaphone.
He recorded his girlfriend arguing with him on the phone and used it on the song

Always good to be different when sampling. Use stuff people wouldn't usually think about.

Have you been following the stuff coming out on Kniteforce? I have an EP out at some point soon that is all 1992-94 style breakbeat hardcore
Smoogie
My recent Jungle but not vocals at all. Very basic actually but my first attempt at the 'Darkcore' sound:
Smoogie
Also made this a few months ago:

Nice.. Love the Hardcore stuff but its all good. Especially the Photek and Squarepusher albums.
Can't forget RDJ now that i'm talking about IDM.
I made a hardcore song that i've been letting people listen to at my school. Its long but when it gets released im going to shorten it.
Let me know what you think. Im not too experienced with the matter of making music. Hell i'm still in highschool, I love the hardcore sound and i wanna make music with it
