Tracklib and Armada Launch a Sample Competition, with tracks provided by Chicane – Win a Release on Armada Music

Dance music titan Armada Music and legendary electronic producer Chicane have teamed up with Tracklib for a big music-making competition to celebrate the re-release of Chicane’s music now available for sampling on Tracklib.

Producers can now sample songs from his ground-breaking debut album “Far from the Maddening Crowds”, through Tracklib. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the re-released album, Chicane is inviting producers from all over the world to participate in a competition sampling his classic songs to create new music. The best submission, to be selected by Chicane himself, will be released by Armada Music and become part of their award-winning catalog. Armada Music is the biggest independent dance music label in the world, with a wide range of electronic music on its roster. 

“I’m excited to see what people can do now that I’ve made these samples available through Tracklib. In some way, it’s like passing the baton,” Chicane says.

“Dance music has always been about sampling and re-using existing material, but offering music pre-cleared for sampling is a big leap,” Michel Peek, Head of Publishing at Armada Music, says. “We find it inspiring Chicane is so forward-thinking and we’re curious to hear how Tracklib’s talent pool will use his repertoire.”

“Chicane is one of the founding innovators of modern trance, Balearic house and ambient house,” Pär Almqvist, Tracklib’s co-founder & CCO, adds. “We’re very excited to make his seminal music available for sampling on Tracklib, and can’t wait to hear what our community of talented music producers will create based on his music. As a part of adding Chicane’s music to Tracklib, we couldn’t resist setting up a competition together with his star-studded label, Armada Music. First prize in the competition is to get an official release on Armada Music – a dream come true for any talented music producer!”
