I'd put drum machine breaks in as first generation, personally, since that's their original source.

Are these drum machine breaks as well, or sampled breaks with added bits and pieces?

[The_Manipulator]

Difficult to say (especially from memory ) as they are all cut-up.

I'll try to do some clips (from the originals... if I can find them all) so you can judge for yourself.

[Phokus]

Ok  

[The_Manipulator]

OK, here they are.

Dynamix II is an 808.

Mantronix looks like it's based on a proper breakbeat. Both the chopped up version that comes first as the "clean" version at the end have been used.

Salt 'n' Pepa is more a sample than a beat... (more scratching than actual beats)

Rump Shaker... not 100% sure what was used in Bizzi. My CD-Maxi doesn't have a really clean loop, there's always the start of Darkest Light, vocals bits or that trumpet over it. And I haven't got a copy of Bizzi's tune here to compare what can be heard in the sampled loop. Anyway, what I mean with "beat with trumpet sound" is the loop that starts at 5 seconds and again at 14,5 seconds (so not that other trumpet sound in it...). Oh, and Rump Shaker layers various beats... don't know what exactly was sampled...

[Phokus]

Thank you, will give them a listen and see what I can find

[Phokus]

Dynamix II: do the two examples sample the bassline too? If they do, I think we should pop that into the Sample Sources forum, rather than the breaks one.

You're right about Spinderella - pop that one in the Sample Sources I think.

Rump Shaker: the actual break is Manzel – Midnight Theme, the trumpets and vocal comes from elsewhere though. Need to listen to a copy of Bizzi to see what it uses before deciding if it sampled Rump Shaker or Midnight Theme really. Anyone got a clip?

Good spot with the Mantronix one, definitely used in Music Takes You, alongside Run's House.

[The_Manipulator]

For Dynamix II the 808-bass and all is used. But as the 'bass' is from the 808, I still consider it part of the beat... (or did I classify it as beat+bassline in my list?!?)

Above I talked about 2 loops in the sample that have the break and that sound at the end (as all others don't have that!). That's also used in Bizzi (so not just the beat). Can get a clip next time I'm at my mate's place.

[Phokus]

A beat and a bassline to me is a groove, not a breakbeat. The 808 in that clip is definitely playing out a melody, and not just a rhythm.

If you could get a clip of the Bizzi tune next time you're at your friend's house, that'd be great  

[The_Manipulator]

Will do (I'm off to him now). Just hope I don't forget it...

Also updated the listing for Mantronix. Don't know the playlist of the 7", but the (european) 12" has a mix of Sing A Song on each side.

[The_Manipulator]

Bizzi - Loose (Remix)

Does seem to be some sort of vocal snippet at the beginning of the sample...

Yup, does seem to be sampled from the hip hop tune, rather than the funk   want to add it as a second generation break?

[The_Manipulator]

Yeah, I think it's more a "compton amen"-like beat than a "normal" sample. So 2nd gen break seems appropriate.

[theorie]

Any plans to include clips of the drum breaks in their original forms?

[Phokus]

Yup, that's work in progress at the moment

[Ornette]

Complaint.

I would like to complain about the listing of the breaks.  Its not accessable to have it listed in the way that you do.  Can we not just have the topic headers just like for the 'Sample Sources' forum - artist name, track name?  

Those 'break' names are mostly arbitary - anyone can call a break anything, and they often have.  When I look up a break I wanna know who done it, and what the song was called - those are the most important bits of all.

So I will now add one of my own, if it was already 'there' then don't blame me - I counldn't see it

[Phokus]

The break names are not that arbitrary - 99% of the time they're based on the name of the song they've come from. When the break is known by several names, I've included those. There's an A-Z list of all the breaks on this forum as a sticky, so you can Ctrl+F to find it by name -- they're all linked up.

I take your point about adding artist name too, though. Will get to work later in the week

Oh, and please use the template for additions, makes everything much easier to manage.
