The home of sampling

Every week, Billboard’s Top 100 contains at least 20 songs with samples from previously released songs - and almost every song contains some kind of sample. Sampling is a valuable shortcut to a hit and an important tool for creative expression. Tracklib makes sure sampling gets the platform it deserves: one where anyone can use any kind of sample without legal obstacles, and one where all rightsholders get their fair share.

Tracklib makes samples, sampling and sample clearance fast, easy, legal and affordable for every music producer in the world.

By radically simplifying music licensing we unlock creative opportunities for all the world’s music creators, new revenue for the whole music industry, and change the way the world can make music.

Our vision is to liberate creativity.

Tracklib unlocks

  • Creative potential

    When you can suddenly use an original song as an instrument - and know beforehand exactly what the clearance will cost - it changes the way you create. We even have unique stems and multitracks available for some songs.

  • Amazing music

    We drive deep-catalog discovery, unearth unheard music, introduce new regions and genres, and incentivize the digitization of old master tapes.

  • New revenues

    We generate completely new revenue streams for original artists, producers, songwriters and their labels and publishers - every time their music is sampled.

Manifesto

Bring back the carefree creativity in sampling.

For far too long, the art of sampling has been repressed by complicated music laws. We want to change that. By taking away the worry about clearance and licensing, producers can fully focus on what they love most - making music. Tracklib creates new revenue streams for record labels, publishers and artists. We want to help compose the future of sampling.

The catalog

Thousands of songs from all over the world

Our team of crate-diggers, beat makers and loop purveyors are always on the lookout for the best music to add to our fast-growing catalog of 100,000+ original songs and multitracks. Drawing on decades of experience in music production and the music industry, we built a service with one vision: to give music new life. Tracklib isn’t about free sample packs or artificial one-shot drums - it’s about finding real, original songs to sample, from old gems to future classics.

The dig

Find the best samples in real music

Dig into curated Collections, or browse by genre, region, label or artist. For those who want to dig deeper, filter by year, key, BPM or track type. Tracklib is the world’s first and only record store built for sampling - used by producers at every level, from hip-hop’s greats to chart-topping artists to someone touching a digital sampler for the first time.

The rights

Demystifying sampling rights

Ever since the early days of sampling, there have been controversies and legal headaches around who owns the rights to sampled music. Tracklib makes sample clearance and music licensing easy, fast and affordable. Music creators shouldn’t have to worry about uncleared samples or the subtleties of royalty-free vs. free music - they should focus on what they do best: making great music. We designed Tracklib to take care of the legal stuff and cut out the clutter.

Now go make something.
