Check this link I found doing a search on "Sampling Postmodern Theory"

"With my Djing, which consists mainly of wild cut-ups and scratches, I try to overcome cultural barriers. In the USA, for example, racial barriers are still very present, in Europe, too. The easiest way to establish a dialogical way of give-and-take is mixing. The generation of Afro-Americans, to which I belong, slowly starts to overcome these barriers of frustration...In the economic as in the psycho-social field a new sense of equality, meaning coexistence, is established. Some decades ago, Elvis would visit a blues pub, listen to that sound, steal it and then sell it as his own work - the present development counterfeits that."
(Dj Spooky cited in Hartmann and Pettauer)
