The amens just break out! It's like saying, "I want an amen break." and the guy behind the counter takes a five gallon bucket and just shoves it over the top of your head!
@mikebiketrike The Amen Break is the famous Jazz drum sample everyone uses. Hip Hop and Jungle trace its roots from Jazz and the Amen Break by the Winston Bros. DnB and Jungle music speed up this famous sample to get the basis of the genre. Its very simple to mix and mash this sample but its very hard to make it consistent, this is what seperates true junglist Djs from the rest.
@mikebiketrike Its like someone "Chop and Screwing" a song, its very simple to just set a que and go back to it and make it sound cool but keeping the consistency as in the quality is very hard. You cant just put an Amen Break in any which part of the song otherwise it'll sound awkward and out of place. Listen to Killing Moon and Jungle Jazz from Street Fighter 3rd Strike, not the Online Edition remix but the originals from 1999. Prime examples of consistent break beats.
@iverson25allen thanks for replying :) so interesting but what do you mean by it's easy to mix and mash but hard to make it consistent? i don't understand at all the technical side of this.. love if you could teach me something new tho
heavy tune!! got this on wax a few days ago for 2.50 bargain!!! does anyone know what the flip is called? it samples lyrics saying "that aint ever been my style, brother"
