if i find something i really like, i keep in mind the names of the artists, the players and composers, so if i see their names again, i can automatically make that a priority record.
sometimes its just about hearing something that's in the right key, something that gives you that cool feeling like yes, this is a sound that could still be relevant today. this is a sound that i can make a song about.
sometimes i start with things other artists have sampled and look from there, but it usually doesn't bring anything but disappointment from not being the first one to find the sample. and there's no use in feeling like that.
