MeMyself&I Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I almost shat my pants when i read this thread...... been waiting for like 14 years to find out the original source for this break, THANK YOU!Thanks, appreciate it. I've been looking for it equally long. I was just damned lucky that I just happened to stumble upon it. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ornette Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 OMG - this completely slipped under the radar! Just spotted your mention in this: http://www.rolldabeats.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50431 I notice your clip posted clearly shows 'both' versions of the break! :smile: What hardcore tracks is it used on?X Ray Xperiments - Take No Chance would be one example. Other examples of break usage would be:Roni Size & DJ Die - Music BoxMarvelous Caine - Hitmanboth tracks use the same section of the break. I can't think of any examples that use the 'other', more oft used loop; my heads gone blank! Its most often used as percussion, to underpin other breaks. Skool Of Hard Knocks - Everybody is one example that comes to mind It would also seem to me that this break :A Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebum (Why Remix)http://www.rolldabeats.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=38529is itself based around this 'Sandy'. In fact when I first recognised "Bonita Applebum" in 1996 I was convinced that I had id'd this 'Sandy' break; more recent listening proved that it was infact a different beat, albeit used in its own right on occasion. The two beats are very similar though, and listening now it would very likely seem CJ Macintosh built up his beat from this very Supreme DJ Nyborn tune here. Excellent work! :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeMyself&I Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 In fact when I first recognised "Bonita Applebum" in 1996 I was convinced that I had id'd this 'Sandy' break; more recent listening proved that it was infact a different beat, albeit used in its own right on occasion. Haha, I did the exact same thing. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monumentalemptiness Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 awesome!!! couple of questions! where did it get the name Sandy/Tiny Break? also, anyone know what original break was used to make it? good work man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_M_M Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 also, anyone know what original break was used to make it? good work manprobably wrong but i reckon it's individually sliced hits from the 'shack up' break and pitched up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stenny Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Just thought I should mention that there's a third generation version of this break at the end of Roni Size & DJ Die - Music Box [Full Cycle]. It has a ride cymbal hit that fades out with a long decay and then fades back in/reverses over one bar of the break - this appears right near the end of the tune. The versatility break can also be sampled clean from here too, without the added ride cymbal part. I've heard this used in a few tunes over the years. Remarc - 2:01 [suburban Base] and Just Jungle - Sky [Trouble On Vinyl] are two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phokus Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 And, lady and gents, the reason it's called sandy: Three Times Dope - Mr Sandman - Not had chance to figure out which came first, but given that people call it Sandy, I guess this is the actually sampled source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ornette Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yeah, that's right, the CJ Macintosh remix of it which explains the similarity to the Bonita Applebum beat, which he also done Am wondering though, about the 'Ray Keith' varient of it. Its a lot more busy but cant quite work out how its done. Here's a good exampleRenegade - Dark Soldier [1996]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51xY7QLSxHA Also in others he worked on around then ish too Anyone have any ideas?

Ornette Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Am wondering though, about the 'Ray Keith' varient of it. Its a lot more busy but cant quite work out how its done. So was about to say I found a earlier use of this, in 1994 by DJ Pooch...https://djpooch.band...-dj-pooch-remix"2. Bells Refix" But when listening to the clips for the original release here, http://rolldabeats.c...t_and_run/car02 there's a different track on the b-side than what's on the bandcamp for it. So it's looking likely on a Ray Keith specific variant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
