“We’ve used Sample Clearance Services to help us out with our sample clearance and specialist licensing needs over some years, and would be happy to recommend them. They are fast, efficient and cost effective, as well as having such a range of contacts, that they can get to places and people that we just can’t easily reach ourselves.”

“Saranne is an absolute joy to work with. When it comes to sample clearing there is nobody else that I would even consider to work alongside! Saranne has helped us clear some very tricky samples and its down to her experience and professionalism that we have been able to release some amazing tracks.”

“I have used Sample Clearance for over a decade; from Ministry of Sound, to Sony Records to Imagem Publishing. They are great to deal with and always provide expert advice. Saranne’s knowledge of sampling is vast and she has been able to track down and clear those ‘impossible to use’ samples.”
