knoeki Says:

Nov 27, 2008 - yeah, indeed too bad that his voice is so monotone...

Nov 27, 2008 - I learned to play the drums with this beat! The first time I ever touched a kit, this was what I played. I went from there. Strange that my brain defaulted to that!

VortexNeurofunk Says:

Nov 27, 2008 - haha yes and now does your respect for good producers grow? it takes ages to arrange a drum n bass amen break like the ones in this vid i mean its easy to chop it all up but then arrange it and make it sound funky and nice well thats the prick hahaha

Nov 28, 2008 - Here's my question? How fast can jungle get?

NotEvenSmoozed Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - I enjoyed the video except for the monotone narration, and all jungle isn't obsesed with the amen (although a lot sure is) and the apparent fact that the producer is not found of squarepusher. chin stroking art crowd that push the limits of absurdity with its use, sounds a little "absurd" to me.

skeetupinmygrill Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - as fast as it wants. but in my experience when you push the tempo past 220 bpm it stops sounding like you want it to. to the creator of this video: chin stroking art crowd my balls. "beyond the point of dancability and syncopation"... if you want dancable, may i recommend the new britney spears cd? the true self-indulgence here is that you write off some of the most brilliant artists in the world because you're not smart enough or musical enough to follow the beat.

Dec 2, 2008 - At 6:14, where it plays the 1996 classic "New Style", it features another hi-hat sound seperate from the amen break, widely used by artists like Origin Unknown and, to reuse another featured artist, Squarepusher; does anyone recognise which loop these are sampled from?

SyrenWulf Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Or any of the names of other famously used sampled loops, such as the widely known loop most notoriously used by LTJ Bukem (in songs such as "Horizons"

Dec 2, 2008 - interesting

crismoraes99 Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - No, it´s not "monotone". It´s a-direct-to-point narrative. Very interesting.

Dec 2, 2008 - Hmmm...

TMundo Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - extremely informative. While copyright laws limit creativity in this respect, it only seems to be applicable when utilizing someone else's material through sampling or direct imitation.

Dec 3, 2008 - The narrator is like a cross between a forensic pathologist, T-Bone Burnett and my 10th grade geometry teacher who spoke with the same calm, straightforward and highly informed--if a little snoozy--tone of voice. I wanna party with this guy.
