WhoSampled
WhoSampled is a music database that has a catalogue of samples, covers, and remixes built from user-submitted entries. Spotify acquired WhoSampled, both the team and the database, in an announcement on 19 November 2025.
As a wholly owned subsidiary of Spotify, WhoSampled carries the same boycott rationale: Spotify founder Daniel Ek's investment of streaming-derived wealth into the military AI company Helsing, the platform's recruitment advertising for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Israel's prison service, and its launch partnership with an Israeli telecom listed in the United Nations database of companies benefiting from occupation.
