breakdown of a breakbeat
This video gives an interesting if monotone history of the “Amen Brother” break, more or less the cornerstone of jungle and a vital hip-hop staple.

Very interesting.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to rip off some ’60s artists.

I’m late, but what do you mean, Joshua, about ripping off ’60s artists? Is this a jab at ’60s artists who sue?

awesome historical investigation!
as a sample-based artist, i really appreciate your argument for the “opening of the creative process”…
i knew there was a reason pop music turned to shyte!
(well, actually, I’m glad there is another reason than the one i’d deduced:
the destruction of the Studio by ProTools.
ProTools has successfully chokeholded all of the analog recording
styles, and actively “makes it tough for the little guy”.
I used to live with one of their engineers. Talk about evil corporate
practices, jeesh!)
thanks again, super props for the dubplate style.
love the coppercat.
