Sample Challenge: Mild Minds creates a melancholic vocal house track

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.

Melbournite Benjamin David, aka Mild Minds, has recently released his debut LP, Moods via Odesza’s Foreign Family Collective. He builds his track around a “risky” vocal sample, adding melancholic chords and his own vocals on top.
