russell Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 http://www.mixmag.net/words/news/has-oi ... ripped-offWhy would you rip off one of the most recognisable tracks ever.Also made a shit track with it.... Quote
BeatLeSS Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 whoa, blatantly ripped off. Can appreciate it if they wanted to recreate something similar, and did so through their own unique way rather than sampling it. But if there's no credit to it then it really is just a rip off. Quote
Cee Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Yep rip off my wife heard me listing to it and said oh the that's the flat Eric song and she can't stand most dance music. Quote
Cupe Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Nari and Milani, the Italian duo who managed to remix Mr Oizo's timeless hit "Flat Beat" WITHOUT KNOWING IT, packaged it as an original and sent it to Sander Van Doorn's label for release, finally got pulled up when the teaser for their reincarnation "Triangle" landed online as first reported on Stoney Roads.The inevitable shit fight began and has brought out a response from the pairing on their Facebook who pointed to the sample as being freely available to buy and be used;“It’s outhere (sic?), available to everyone… it’s on sale… everybody can go and use it legally, as we did,” adding “We weren’t first to use that sound actually, as many others did,” also managing to call out fellow producer Chas Zoo.What they haven't done is fess up in almost recreating the exact same structure, sounds, pitched vocals and well, everything else used in Oizo's original "Flat Beat" track. Sure, you can buy the sample for free but how about inject some originality into the matter? Hell, Hilary Clinton could even have picked it as a complete rip off.Thankfully Spinnin, who were set to release it have pulled the track from Youtube but we get the feeling this isn't the end of it just yet until Oizo's lawyers get involved.

Tomy Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 ^ ripping off like 3 different tracks in one. no one seems to care as much though. Quote
Cupe Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 There's a right way and a wrong way to sample.There's ripping off and there's resampling.The world is a divided piece of shit on everything. Quote
Tomy Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 hahah very true. which one is the flat beat track? rip off or cover? Quote
Mitch Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 That is the worst thing I've ever heardPS the flat beat track we are talking about is this (I'm sure you've heard it) Quote
