In audio production, '''sampling''' refers to the use of a portion (or sample) from a sound within another recording. As pioneers of the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_music electronic music}} {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_genre genre}}, [[Depeche Mode]] were among the most prolific acts to make use of {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(music) sampling}} technology within a traditional {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_music pop music}} format. Among the many original samples recorded and utilized by Depeche Mode to enhance the atmosphere of their musical output are many that originated elsewhere, including brief passages of musical recordings by other artists, snippets of audio from television shows, radio broadcasts, films, environmental sounds, and more. Analysis of these '''sample sources''' and how they are manipulated is a popular topic of discussion amongst fans of the group.

This page aims to document all verifiable sound sources for many of the musical parts used by Depeche Mode in the production of their studio albums, official remixes, live performances, and other works released between 1986 and 1998.
 
Due to the manipulated nature of the samples described in this article, there is unavoidable potential for error or sample misattribution. To ensure accuracy, this article strives to use verified quotes from band members and recording personnel with citations wherever possible, audio examples, and independent research voluntarily contributed by Depeche Mode and Recoil fans worldwide. This article provides an interesting document on this topic in a tabular format that is organized, well-researched, and reasonably accurate. '''Please bear in mind that due to the limited number of relevant quotes for each sample from band members or associates involved in producing the music described on this page, audio samples that lack official confirmation are not guaranteed to be accurate.'''
 
This article differentiates samples by origin: '''Self-made samples''', which describe any material initially recorded by Depeche Mode or Recoil, and '''Sourced samples''', which describe samples not initially recorded by either group. In addition to confirmed samples, this article also covers samples commonly misreported as having been used but directly refuted by a member or associate of Depeche Mode or Recoil.

|artist=[[Depeche Mode]]
|releaseyear=1986
|smsample1=Guitar-like pluck
|smsnotes1=A brief "plucked" guitar-like sound reminiscent of a guitar or processed piano sample is layered with a bass part to form the bassline. Notably, this sample is also used to play a four note sequence as a fill sporadically throughout {{s|But Not Tonight}}.
|ssample1=Moan-like vocal sample
|ssource1='''The Chanters - "She Wants To Mambo"''' - 1954
|sstatus1=OC
|snotes1=A feminine "moan" vocal following the second chorus of "She Wants To Mambo" is sampled and played in a descending two note passage processed with {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_(audio) EQ}} for added top-end during the chorus sections of {{s|A Question Of Time}}. {{MLG}} confirmed the use of the sample in the August 1986 issue of ''Electronics & Music Maker'':
 
<blockquote>It's not that audible, though. It's a sample from a record called "She Wants to Mambo", an old doo-wop disc. At the end of each {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_structure#Verse verse}}, the woman who sings sort of moans. We sampled this moan and played it up a few notes, which made it sound like a girl moaning. We used it on the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_structure#Chorus_or_refrain chorus}} section of "A Question of Time".<ref>Source: [http://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/modes-of-operation/1937 Muzines.co.uk : Articles : Modes Of Operation (''Electronics & Music Maker'', August 1986)]</ref></blockquote>
 
In addition to its use in the chorus sections, the sample is also used as a unique "Wha-, wha-, wha-" vocal-like hit that is played repetitively on every step and half step following the percussion {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_(music) fill}} during the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_structure#Introduction intro}} and throughout the song's {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_structure#Conclusion_or_outro outro}}. Rather than playing out from start to finish as it does during the chorus sections, the sample is played with a fast {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(music)#ADSR decay}} five notes down from its root key and detuned slightly to form the unique rhythmic hit.
|sexample1=ss-AQOT-The-Chanters-She-Wants-To-Mambo.mp3
|sexamplenotes1=In this example, a section of audio from The Chanters' "She Wants To Mambo" featuring a feminine moan is sampled, trimmed, and allocated across the keys of a keyboard to be played back as a melodic part, and is then compared to the center channel of the 2006 5.1 reissue of "A Question Of Time" containing the relevant part. Next, the sample is played back once per beat at a reduced pitch with a short decay time, creating a repeated "wha-, wha-" rhythm that can be heard during the opening and closing bars of the song.

|smsnotes2=An exploding {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireworks firework}} sound recorded on {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night 5 November}} 1985 by [[Gareth Jones]] in the Westside studio car park<ref name="ShuntBCEd"></ref> is used as a unique drum fill alternative throughout {{S|Stripped}}. [[Daniel Miller]] describes the recording process of this sound in the 2006 ''Black Celebration'' remaster documentary:
 
<blockquote>It was rockets that we were doing, so we thought, if we angled them at a fairly low angle, we could set up a series of microphones and we would still be able to pick up the sound as it traveled along. If we straight up, we would have got just one sound, it would just have sort of disappeared, so we did that. We set up a sort of bottle at a very narrow angle and had, like, 5 microphones maybe, at, I don't know, 15 feet apart, something like that.</blockquote>
 
Other notable uses of this sample include {{S|Breathing In Fumes|U}}, the final moments of {{s|Pimpf}} (where it is layered with a large choir stab and played several notes down from its root key) and various live performances of {{S|Never Let Me Down Again}}.
|smsample3=Tom drums
|smsnotes3=A series of {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom-tom_drum tom drums}} with a unique "roomy" quality occur throughout {{S|Stripped|U}}. [[Alan Wilder]] describes the recording of this sound in a 1998 editorial on {{Shunt}}, the official [[Recoil]] project website: "[...] A hired drum kit was also set up in the large reception area of Westside and used to sample individual sounds, most notably the distinctive toms with their special ambience."<ref name="ShuntBCEd"></ref>

The loop is also present on [[Martin L. Gore|Martin Gore's]] demo recording. Wilder confirms the origin of the sample in a summary of the Emulator II lot listing on ''The Alan Wilder / Depeche Mode Collection'' auction site:
<blockquote>I remember when we first inserted the huge floppy disc into the [Emulator I] and listened to the ‘Motorbike Idling’ sound (which later became the mainstay rhythm behind the song "Stripped"), I was hooked.<ref>Source: {{EL|http://auction.recoil.co.uk/emu-emulator-ii/ Emulator I}} - ''The Alan Wilder / Depeche Mode Collection''.</ref></blockquote>

|smsample1=Guitar riff
|smsnotes1=In a 4 July 2019 interview with ''Super Deluxe Edition'', ''[[Music For The Masses]]'' co-producer [[Dave Bascombe]] recalled the recording process for the guitar riff:
 
<blockquote>[...] I remember [[Martin L. Gore|Martin]] had his guitar, and it’s used quite a bit... the beginning of "Never Let Me Down [Again]" for example... What a wonderful, happy accident that was. It was supposed to start with the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snare_drum snare}} drum and then go straight in, but because of the nature of technology at the time, the guitar [riff] was played, then we sampled it into the {{EL|http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/synclav.php Synclavier}} and it just kicked off as soon as it got code at the beginning of the track and we all went ‘Wow, that's great’, so that was an accident.<ref name="DBASCOMBE">Source: [http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/interview/producer-dave-bascombe-on-depeche-modes-music-for-the-masses/ ''Super Deluxe Edition'' July 4, 2019 Producer Dave Bascombe on Depeche Mode's 'Music For The Masses']</ref></blockquote>
|smsample2=Lead melody
|smsnotes2=The lead melody is comprised of a plucked guitar-like sample combined with a vocal-like pad with a short {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_(music) loop}} (itself derived from a non-looped sample that is layered with another vocal-like sound to intensify the final four bars of each verse section in "I Want You Now"). The resulting voice is mixed with {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverberation reverb}} to produce the textured, "roomy" effect heard on the album version of {{s|Never Let Me Down Again}}. For live use, the part is played back comparatively dry.
 
Other notable appearances of the guitar-like sample include a two-note {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_(music) fill}} during the verses of {{s|Strangelove}}, the lead melody heard throughout the "Spanish Taster" mix of {{s|To Have And To Hold}}, and a verse melody in {{S|Blue Dress}}. In addition to its use in {{s|Never Let Me Down Again|U}} and {{s|I Want You Now}}, the aforementioned solo vocal-like pad is also heard during the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_structure#Chorus_or_refrain chorus}} sections of {{s|Nothing}}.
|smsample3=Exploding firework
|smsnotes3=An exploding {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireworks firework}} sound originally {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(music) sampled}} for use with {{s|Stripped}} is occasionally played on the final note during live performances of {{s|Never Let Me Down Again|U}}. Other notable uses of this sample include the final moments of {{s|Pimpf}}, where it is layered with a large female-esque choir stab and played several notes down from its original key.
|smsample4=Synth bass
|smsnotes4=A synthesized bass layer audible throughout "Never Let Me Down Again" is likely derived from the {{EL|https://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/wave.php PPG Wave 2.3}} wavetable "031 Piano/Sax". Notably, A similar synthesizer bass drone originally recorded for use with {{s|Policy Of Truth}} is layered with this sound as it was performed during live performances on the 1993-1994 [[:Category:1993 Devotional Tour|Devotional]] and [[:Category:1994 Exotic Tour|Exotic]] tours.

|smsnotes1=Wilder describes the production of this bass part in a Q&A on {{Shunt}}, the official [[Recoil]] website:
 
<blockquote>[[Flood]] and I had been listening to Tangerine Dream and decided to try and create a similar atmosphere for this track. The main sequence was put together using his [ARP 2600] and the sequencer that accompanies the synth. Due to its many velocity and filtering possibilities, this unit has a unique quality which is difficult to replicate using a modern-day sequencer triggered by MIDI. Once it has been set-up, in order for the sequence to be transposed to follow the chord structure of the song, I needed to play in each chord change from an external keyboard. A similar principal was applied to achieve the bubbling bass part which, together with the main sequence, forms the backbone of the track. The charm of the ARP sequencer stems from the slight tuning and timing variations that occur each time the part is played. This gives a sense of fluidity and continual change which seems to suit the song.

<blockquote>[...] No two snare beats sound the same when played by a drummer - I like that. That's why I prefer to use lots of drum loops with all the feel (and flaws) of the original performance. Most of the drum sounds on ''Violator'' were sampled (apart from obvious electro sounds) but the rhythms were still programmed. Some hi-hat patterns ("[Policy Of Truth]" for example) were played and sampled as loops and in the case of "Halo" and "Clean" it's all loops.

'''Martin Gore''': I think it's more organic than that. I think part of the sounds that you're talking about are samples that we... even during ''[[Violator]]'' we were doing quite a bit of sampling, so it probably came from some weird Asian instrument sample CD or a classical Asian music CD, with a [pitch] bend in it.<ref>Source: [https://dmlive.wiki/wiki/2016-01-25_The_RobCast,_Los_Angeles,_CA,_USA 2016-01-25] The RobCast 2016-01-25 Martin Gore interview</ref>

<blockquote>With experimentation still prevalent, the elementary sounds for the 3rd single, "Condemnation" were recorded in the basement of the Madrid villa with one person banging a flight case, another clapping and a third scraping the wall with a tambourine.
 
The vocals - which were to have a 'barbershop choir meets gospel Elvis Presley' flavour - proved that [[Depeche Mode]] had not abandoned their desire to find different and exciting ways of producing music. Built up track by track, individual takes were sung by (mainly) [[Martin L. Gore|Martin]] and (sometimes) Alan and then manipulated using vari-speed to produce very low and very high pitches. Once added to [[Dave Gahan|Dave's]] lead vocal, the resulting close harmonies provided the barbershop body of the track."<ref>Source: [http://oldsite.recoil.co.uk/forum/qa/dlives.htm Shunt Q&A: ARCHIVES : EDITORIAL : DM Singles 86-98]</ref>

|snotes1=A drum loop heard throughout "My Joy" is derived from the brief instrumental break in Beastie Boys' "Pass The Mic". Additionally, a brief snippet of the drum loop is reversed for use as a drum fill during the first verse section.
The drums as they appear on "Pass The Mic" were originally performed by {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_D Mike D}} (Michael Diamond) during the recording of ''{{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_Your_Head Check Your Head}}'' at G-Son Studios, {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atwater_Village,_Los_Angeles Atwater Village}}, California. The late {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Yauch MCA}} (Adam Yauch) stated in 1999:
<blockquote>One memorable thing about recording "Pass The Mic" was the drums. We had heard that [{{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin Led Zeppelin}} drummer] {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bonham John Bonham}} had used a really long {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_drum kick drum}} on something and thought it would be interesting to put his technique to the test. Taking full advantage of the size of the G-Son live room/basketball court, we wrapped a long piece of cardboard from a refrigerator box around the kick drum and then put a mic at the far end of it. Mike played the beat, and we looped it.<ref>Source: [http://www.beastiemania.com/songspotlight/show.php?s=passthemic&band=b Beastiemania Song Spotlight : Pass The Mic]</ref>

|snotes6=Wilder confirmed in a 27 July 2011 interview with ''electricityclub.co.uk'' that "Halo" (and "My Joy" by extension) employs orchestral string elements sampled from an as yet unidentified piece of music composed by celebrated English composer Edward Elgar:
 
<blockquote>For the end choruses, there are some string samples which I think were derived from Elgar. One of my techniques is to find sections of classical strings and transpose / stretch these, then add my own samples, in order to formulate new and unusual arrangements. This was a case in point. The DM track "Clean" utilised classical strings in a similar way.<ref>Source: [http://www.electricityclub.co.uk/the-alan-wilder-interview/ ALAN WILDER Interview - July 27, 2011]</ref></blockquote>

In June 2020, ''elektronauts.com'' user "Leo-iSL" described participating in the production of ''Danger 1'':
 
<blockquote>
The samples for [''Danger 1''] were recorded/compiled at a studio in {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnos_Grove Arnos Grove}}. The studio was called either Sound Garden or Music Garden Studios (I can't quite remember). A lot of the samples were taken from my own record collection. The guy behind [The Dangerous CD Company] is called Brian Teasdale [...] I first went to his studio around [1991\1992] to record some {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcore_(electronic_dance_music_genre) Hardcore}} demos. [I] was about 19 years old. When Brian heard the records [I] was sampling from he asked if he could borrow my collection. That's how this sample CD came about. Together with Brian's sister and girlfriend we went to the {{EL|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musikmesse_Frankfurt Frankfurt Musikmesse}} and launched the CD there.<ref>''elektronauts.com'' - {{EL|https://www.elektronauts.com/t/what-was-your-first-studio-recording-experience/132521/2 What was your first studio recording experience}} - User "Leo-iSL", June 15, 2020</ref>
