Is there a German or Japanese word for the feeling when you unexpectedly recognize a hip hop sample while listening to the source record? Some combination of arousal, disorientation, familiarity, and satisfaction.

I was familiar with the Dilla remix of Oblighetto but just got a double dose of unexpected sample recognition* on the Moon Rappin' record by Brother Jack McDuff: Scenario (ATCQ) and King of NY (Automator - Kool Keith)

*still looking for a more precise word to describe that feeling

turns out a French word(s) approximates the first stage of "reverse sample recognition": *jamais vu*, the phenomenon of experiencing a situation that one recognizes in some fashion, but that nonetheless seems novel and unfamiliar. i.e., the opposite of deju vu.

But the magic occurs when this disorientation is resolved, as my brain connects the original music I'm hearing for the first time with the familiar (but often a distant memory) song that sampled it. 🤯

@BEK97
The most common German word is a French one: Déjà-vu.

@vasto haha, it's close but not exactly. I actually have experienced it before, only in a different context.
