Today’s mix is a little different in terms of tempo and the backbone of the beat - there’s no one drop or steppers, this mix is the meeting of funk and dub coming together to form new - Jungle / Ragga Jungle - a fresh, revolutionary sound that tore through the UK and world in the late 80s, early 90s that continues to this day. I’ve sifted through the digital crates to bring a few of the classics together for your ears - enjoy.
The Amen Break is a 6-to-7-second drum solo that became the most sampled piece of music in history. Pulled from the 1969 B-side “Amen, Brother” by The Winstons, this unassuming moment reshaped hip-hop, jungle, drum & bass, and electronic music forever.
