might have to dig out this wickid mix I got of Hip hop tracks were eth original break is mixed in ...you know the kinda thing
Big up thi s here thread
an article on adam f circles would be cool! thats my favourite break in the worlddddd!
I thought id start this thread as there is a lot of talk of breaks... but no one ever seems to mention the original tracks.
So hear we go, hear are the original tracks that the breaks youve heard time and time again were sampled from.......
First up we have the break of all breaks...... you guessed it..... The Amen.
It is by far the most sampled break of all time, not just sampled by DnB producers but by producers of all genres, the good example of this break being used in another genre that you have probably already heard is in NWA's "Strait Outta Compton"
The break its self comes from a 1969 track titled "Amen Brother" by a band called The Winstons. It was released on the B-Side of a 7" 45 single called "Color Him Father" on Metromedia Records.

I will post more like this if anyones interested.... also feel free to add some too
Does anyone know the origin of the break from "Urban Shakedown - Some Justice"
Come on you KNOW this one!
Even if its 100% drum machine - who first came up with it on a drum machine?
This beat still kicks ass now in 2008 and always will.
I already know the singing came from Ce Ce Rogers.
Its the beat I am arsed about in this Urban Shakedown!
I had a sample CD with that breakbeat on it, "Future Music" magazine from way back, issue #2 or something when the mag just started.
