The Sample Lab is a premier boutique sound design and music sample label founded by the producer Dreamlife. Instead of featuring a single, fixed group of musicians, it operates as a music production collective that partners with a rotating cast of world-class session musicians, composers, and sound designers

The label provides royalty-free sample libraries, live instrument stems, and drum loops primarily used by hip-hop, R&B, and neo-soul producers. Some of their notable, recurring musicians and collaborators include:

Dreamlife: The founder, primary curator, and main producer behind the label's vintage, soulful aesthetic.

Joey Keys: A Hammond-sponsored gospel keyboard and organ player.

Parker Kindred: A professional session drummer and percussionist who provides live breakbeats.

Memory: A multi-instrumentalist and core composer.

Alex Williams & Alex Bile: Multi-instrumentalists who contribute live horns, flutes, strings, and vintage instrument loops.

Jake Laiuni & CRE8: Producers and instrumentalists known for their soulful, guitar-heavy sample packs.

Dar'rell Banks & DJ Pain 1: Producers who contribute hard-hitting drums and classic hip-hop rhythms.
