Ahh I get you. Totally agree.

Hmmm, I'm sure there is that possibility, people do have a tendency to glamorise and exaggerate everything. As for the Jungle star 'Shy FX' in the video, I know he definitely used the break - the guy has openly stated it. As for the others I can't say, I haven't looked them up myself. But it is amazing what you can do with a couple filters, eq, pitch shift, an MPC etc - especially if you start with a grainy old distorted vinyl in the first place. Thanks for taking the time to watch!

Was just this second listening to some of the Zepp! Page always mellows me out. But I had no idea Bonham was extensively sampled, I knew about the beastie boys...Could you point me to a few more tracks you know of? Thanks

Hey Guys! I came across this little youtube documentary on the 'Amen Break'. I'm sure many of you know about it already, but for those who don't, The Amen Break was a 6 second drum solo performed on a B-side by 'The Winstons' in 1969. Since then, and with the help of samplers, it has almost singularly spawned three distinct genres of music - Hip Hop, Drum n Bass and Jungle - and arguably many sub-cultures on top of that. Even if you're not into any of these genre's particularly (I'm not), it is an interesting phenomenon that as musicians I thought you would find an eye opener. It is 18 mins long, and the narrator is quite monotonous at times, but if you do have the time it is a good watch. Enjoy! Listen.Love.Grow.
