Working with sound samples has long been a part of modern music culture. The Sample Music Festival is the first educational music festival aimed specially for turntablism, controllerism and music production. We caught up with the founder of the festival, Alex Sonnenfeld, who has a guest lesson series at ArtistWorks on Real Instrument Skratching. This year the festival takes place in Berlin, Germany October 16-18.
