You can sample yourself. We have plenty of submissions of artists sampling themselves but we only accept them if they are not from the same album.

I wouldn't call this a true sample of We're a Winner- it was the same drummer, and I don't think you can sample yourself! The rest of the song is definitely a shout-out, though. And a good one.

The Winstons track breaks down as follows,,, Intro and initial hooks. Winstons - 0:00 to 0:13 (Repeated hook until 0:24) Impressions - 0:00 to 0:14 Melody break. Winstons - 0:24 to 0:28 (Back to initial hook until 1:02) Impressions - 0:28 to 0:33 Sweeper Winstons - 1:02 to 1:11 (Repeated at 2:07) (Back to initial hook until amen break) Impression - 1:11 to 1:23 The "Amen Break" (Most sampled drum loop in history) Winstons - 1:27 to 1:34 (Back to initial hook until 2:07, repeat sweeper steps until end)

Oh yeah, and don't forget that this loop was performed for real, not sequenced. A real, living person had to physically smash the heck out of a drumset to get this performance. That makes me appreciate this track even more for it's pure genius.

The most sampled drum loop in history - 1:27 to 1:34. Probably several million re-incarnations of this,,,and still counting. Infact almost the entire genre of Drum & Bass, Jungle and Rave were quite heavilly indebted to this sample. I'd even go so far as to say that no other single track has influenced the face of modern music ever.
