Hello. Extremely long-time lurker here. I think all my previous posts have been about Prince bootlegs so far. (on that subject - the new "Can eye play with U" bootleg is amazing!)

Anyway, if anyone heard the QLS episode with the interview with Tom Silverman you know what this is about. I'm part of a company called Tracklib - we're trying to create a music library for sampling where every single song can be licensed at a fair price. We already have a varied collection of real music. Everything from "Impeach the President" to Ike Turner to Swedish pop to African funk to weird soundtracks and the catalogue is literally growing every day.

We have a video showing what we're about here - featuring Prince Paul and Hank Shocklee:

And the site is here: https://tracklib.com

Let me know if you have ANY questions. I'm here to help and would love to give everyone here access. It's amazing to finally get this out there after working on it for such a long time.

Great concept.... a Hank Shockley sighting, gotta love it....im ready to invest...

Thanks for the support, everyone. Feel free to send me an email to oskar@tracklib.com if you want to make sure you get in earlier, so I know who you are. Today is the day we start sending out invites, but there's a large queue.

For this to work (and to sign more labels) we definitely need as much publicity as we can - so share the video or the site if you can!

It would be super fun to also sponsor a CHOPS round with license and everything.

Bumping this because today I'm starting to let in more users.

If you want to get in - just send me an email at oskar@tracklib.com and I'll make it happen immediately.

Note: If you can help us to share this in any channels you have, that would also be great.

(Hey! I've been trying to get in touch with the okayplayer staff to talk about an article or something - but so far no luck. Hlp?)

Final bump, and some flips of tracks we already have in Tracklib:

Black Merday - Reality:

Guitar Red - Sad Day

Was sampled in:

To download each of these tracks for personal use is $2 - licensing for a normal sample is $50 + share of publishing. Licensing is automatic and can be done within minutes. Send me an email or message if you want access!

Just kidding. Great idea.

I thought I'd bump this with some videos we've made:

Prince Paul on the making of Me, Myself and I:

Statik Selektah on sampling his daughters heartbeat:
