Just watched this fantastic @12tonevideos piece on the #AmenBreak on Nebula. I had heard a bit of its history, but their breakdown of some of the ingredients that make it what it is helped me to appreciate it in a new light!

Back in school I was bored and looped the amen break on a drum kit during a music lesson and 2 guys that always bullied me started shuffling.
This was the last day they bullied me.
#AmenBreak is love.

The Winstons - “Amen Brother” (1969)
The Winstons were a 1960s funk and soul music group, based in Washington, D.C., known for their 1969 recording of an EP featuring a song entitled "Amen, Brother", on the B-side.
Half-way into "Amen, Brother", there is a drum solo which would cause The Winston's EP to become one of the most widely-sampled records in the history of electronic music.
Sampled audio clips of the drum solo became known as the "Amen Break", which has been used in thousands of tracks in a number of musical genres, including drum and bass, hip hop, jungle, big beat, industrial and electronica. NWA’s “Straight Outta Compton” opens with this break beat.
Besides all that, it’s simply a funky, invigorating, fast paced instrumental featuring amazing drums and cool horns.

Withholding this information when selling a product named "Amen Break" feels strange to me.
I bet this wine tastes bittersweet.

But recently I found a way to run Little Piggy Tracker on a GameShell, and for some reason it clicked with me right away. So here's some #jungle with chopped up #amenbreak

In the start of all that there was two big group of people, either going techno or DnB, which is breakbeat music. I've attached the "Amenbreak" for reference, an essential 4 bar drumloop. This, hacked in samples, formed the base of all DnB, Jungle and succeeding genres, TechStep, Dubstep etc. all through the 90s/early 2000s. Hrvatski, whom i did the remix for, was an avid late 90s user of that.
