The Amen Break | the rugs don’t work

The Amen Break

Above is a great breakdown of one of the most common hip-hop and drum & bass samples out there – the “Amen Break”. Found this on Youtube via Joey deVilla’s “The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century“.

LA-based Nate Harrison put the original video essay together. It can be found online at nkhstudio.com There are a couple of other interesting stories he’s put together there too.
