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.
is this guys voice computer generated? it really sounds like it
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.
I came across your site while searching on MSN and have now added you to my rss reader. I Just though i should say “keep up the good work” and pass on congratulations on a job well done and great music too! I am really looking forward to seeing more from you in the future.
