Music: How to Flip a Sample - Part 2 / Breakage

BRING THAT BEAT BACK! YA'LL WANNA HEAR THAT BEAT RIGHT!?

The thing I've missed lately in the ever changing world of Drum and Bass are the breakbeats. Ya know classic breaks, chopped the fuck up, and played back double time. This is the back bone of 174 BPM dance music. From Hardcore through Jungle to its current incarnation as Drum and Bass the way producers slice and dice old breakbeats is what drew me to this music in the first place. Unfortunately, as the genre became more and more popular and the new producers less and less technically acomplished we have seen the use of breaks decline. Fortunately, we are seeing a new renaissance in breakbeat based dnb thanks to a new generation of producers such as Breakage.

Breakage is probably best known for his hits Stoneheart and the 'Amen' based horn stormer So Vain. Ill joints. Both breakbeat driven.

His new cut is a perfect example of what I miss(ed) in Dnb.

Utter breakbeat science.
