A while ago I learned about a genre called Plunderphonics, and Sepalot's latest release "never give up" is one of the best examples I've heard of the genre in recent history.

Like a collage, German producer Sepalot has tastefully sampled from a range of different tracks to form "never give up". In the beginning, we pick up on this as the piano formation is a tad rough around the edges. Although when the punchy drums arrive the track bursts to life, and the enchanting vocal samples provide "never give up" with a soulful essence.
