The legalities around sampling are becoming ever more complex. <\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Machinedrum confirmed plans for his 'Fenris District' EP - containing material composed for, but never used on, his wonderful 'Vapor City' album. <\/p>\n
Lead cut 'Back Seat Ho' was placed online, a blistering piece of footwork inspired futurism. Since then, though, Chicago producer DJ Clent has accused Machinedrum of borrowing segments of his own track 'Back Seat Hoe' without permission. <\/p>\n
Accusing the Ninja Tune signing of \"remaking the song without consent\" DJ Clent has now spoken to Do Androids Dance about the issue. <\/p>\n
Asked what he would like the outcome of the discussion to be, Clent said: \"either take [it] down or pay me and give me my credit for the concept and vocals.\" <\/p>\n
The vocals on the original aren't sampled, either - DJ Clent claims that they are recordings of his wife and children. <\/p>\n
Compare\/contrast both tracks below. <\/p>\n
