Sample recordings poets made somehow (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demo tapes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sample recordings' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'poets made somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'poets'+'made'='poetsmade'
'poetsmade' is an anagram of 'DEMO TAPES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for demo tapes that I've seen is " Recorded samples".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
