#6 expansive drone into (maybe?) danceable groove and then some [SOLVED]

Today's guessable sound bite is a discarded work file of mine. Can you tell where it's from?

#6 by Guess a Sample

If you can't just yet, don't worry, some clues will be provided soon-ish.

Clue #1: the band split from 1976 to 1983

Clue #2: two members from the band that you do not hear on this sample met in a recording session for another musician to whom this piece is 'dedicated.

Clue #3: a track from the double album that came from these sessions actually bears the name of one of those members.

Clue #4: That double album had up to three keyboard players on one track, all distinguishable through panning. (balance / left-center-right)

[to make sure we're clear, two of the musicians from the band for which this sample we're trying to guess, they met at a recording session for another artist.

from that recording session came a double album, on which:

a) a song is named after one of said members

b) at times there is up to three keyboard players

and this sample we're trying to guess, comes from a song for which the title to refers back to the artist for which they both had recorded at the time.]

Clue #5: The opening track for the album during which our two members (drummer & guitarist) met is a 20 minutes modal foray that contains 19 edits and tape loops, pioneering the use of the recording studio as in instrument itself within jazz.

#5 acoustic blues meets tribal drone [SOLVED]

Today we have a discarded bit from a project of mine, where I was trying to combine my love for old blues, loops and then drone music (somewhat a tribal feel in there too) but wasn't satisfied with the result enough to do anything with it.

Here it is:

Can you guess the original behind this sampled tidbit?

If you can't figure it out, clues will be provided along the way.

Clue #1: One of the first to get screwed over royalties, or at least to get vocal about it.

Clue #2: He once wrote a song for a royal figure that became very popular.

Clue #3: He was no sadist in the boudoir.

Matthias over on youthink.com has figured the artist: Arthur "Big Boy" Cruddup, and then the song, which can be sampled right here

Here's a funky break, reminiscent of golden age hip hop, can you figure out the original behind it?

  #3 by Guess The Sample

Clues will be provided eventually if no one comes up with the answer.

Clue #1: You can catch them live next month in Jackson, Wyoming.

Clue #2: You'd think these cats are from Oakland, alas no, from over the pond in Europe.

Clue #3: Nevermind the early 70s feel, that song was recorded in 2009

Clue #4: Band is from Leeds, England.

And it's been solved!
You can find a live version of the song from which the sample was taken on youtube and do check the band's official website, they are dynamite.

#2 featuring facedogg [SOLVED]

Today's samplist is a beats & cuts hip hop hobbyist, goes by the handle facedogg.

The beat should be a piece of cake to figure out, so what we're looking for is the sample behind the keyboard-ish more melodic track. Can you figure it out?

If you can't just yet, don't worry, clues will be provided at some point.
