    Did you take a liberal definition of “downloads directory” like the other guy?

      Nope, are you weirdly angry for no reason?

        No. That’s just a long time ago.

        I can’t imagine you’re on the same machine, so I guess you must have rolled over your files in such a way that the download directory was still preserved?

          Fair enough - didn’t mean to sound confrontational.

          I definitely didn’t download the files that long ago, that’s just when they were created. I probably downloaded them in 2020 or 2021.

          The real mystery of my download folder is only a few weeks old, and was caused by a year long obsession I’ve developed - it’s called “what is this.mp3”

          If anyone knows what this sample is called, please let me know! It’s the new craze I guess

            That’s the “wheel up signal” from the blu mar ten junglejungle sample pack. Classic sound in jungle and uk garage music.

            https://blumarten.bandcamp.com/album/blu-mar-ten-jungle-jungle-1989-to-1999-samplepack

            The sample is taken from this song

            https://youtu.be/cpFlb7QaQZc

            It was originally recorded from a saxon soundsystem clash in 1993

            https://on.soundcloud.com/tJsb1tv1zqyqT1Xs9

            At 1h3m36s

            Also known as a “dub siren”

                  Live dnb mixes generally, or occasionally in bass heavy tracks (something abrasive like G Jones)

                    Fair enough, yeah it’s generally a nod to the jamaican influence in UK soundsystem and rave culture

                    Another one you’ll hear a lot is the weird horn sample from the intro of ray keith’s terrorist (the fat clean reese bass just before the drums come in is sampled all over the place too)
