Universal Production Music's sample discovery and licensing platform, Usample, today announced the addition of new sample pack albums from world-renowned composers Nicholas Britell, Clint Mansell, and Isobel Waller-Bridge.
Usample will provide producers and writers with exclusive access to browse, download and seek clearance on exciting works from the UMP Classics & Screen writers, including Britell’s ‘The Middle of the World’ from the Oscar-winning movie ‘Moonlight,’ Waller-Bridge’s ‘Arise’ and previously unreleased works by Mansell.
Nicholas Britell, best known for his highly popular score for HBO’s award-winning TV show ‘Succession’ continues to be a highly desirable source for crate diggers, previously sampled by Pop Smoke, Kid Kudi and Lil Dirk, with Clint Mansell seeing recent clearance in ‘Riot & Set it off’ from Yeat’s latest album release ‘2093’.
Nicholas Britell said: “I’m thrilled to now have my music available on Universal Production Music’s Usample platform. It will be really exciting to hear what people create by sampling my compositions.
Natasha Baldwin, EVP of Classics & Screen at UMPG said, “We are excited to partner with Usample and utilise the strength of this Universal Production Music initiative to continue to find broader audiences for our Classics & Screen composers. Nick, Clint and Isobel are all trailblazing writers whose innovative artistic spirits capture the essence of this platform and access to their music underpins our constant commitment to seek out new, global engagement points for classical and film/TV repertoire.”
In addition to new UMPG albums, a drop of over 1000 new Universal Production Music tracks delivers repertoire dating back to the 1970s and more recent, contemporary releases from legendary labels such as Patchwork, Kosinus, Galarie, Koka, Chappell, and Atmosphere, to meet the growing demand for easily cleared samples across the writer, production and beatmaker communities.
The Usample catalog is comprised of more than 8000 unique and rare works available for use by producers and songwriters. The release of commercial works marks a new direction for the exclusive sample platform, diversifying the available catalogue beyond rare, archive production music.
The production music labels made available on Usample have a rich history of high-profile clearances including Jay-Z's "D.O.A," Disclosure's "Energy," and Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy”, and now with the availability of the Usample platform, new talents are discovering the rare archive works, such as social media superstars and respected hip-hop artists Joey Valance and Brae with Usample clearances on tracks "DANCE NOW" and "CAN'T STOP NOW," gaining millions of streams.
