Evolving from a short doo-wop intro into an off-kilter soulful instrumental, The Dirty Sample’s “Linger” was a bit of a fluke. During a beat-making session, the reclusive producer from Calgary, AB, put on a record, stepped away to grab his coffee, and a perfect loop of a skip happened. Rumour has it he lingered. And then he dropped a meaty bunch of drums behind it. “It was an eerie moment” is how The Dirty Sample describes this ghost skip, a possibly supernatural phenomenon that resulted in a great first single for his upcoming instrumental album, Beats to Murder Rappers To, The Dirty Sample’s creepy new instrumental album dropping Halloween weekend. Put it on and linger. There’s much more to come!

The Dirty Sample has been producing and rapping for over 20 years in a cave hidden somewhere deep in the Kootenays. Or so they say. The one sure thing is how he got his name. “I love the crackle and the crunch of dirty vinyl,” explains the elusive Northwest silverback of his DJ Muggs-like fascination with dusty vinyl first discovered after buying a sampler in ’98 to construct the beats his then 3-year-old rapper alter ego, Planit, wasn’t receiving from other producers. Now, 30+ albums in, he has a catalogue that includes instrumental works, remix projects, and collaborations with the likes of Roc Marciano, Guilty Simpson, Myka 9, Kirby Dominant, Moka Only, D-Sisive, Merkules, Snak the Ripper, Touch, and many of your other favourite rappers.
