This one\u2019s all about the breaks.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going back, way back to the foundation, with a selection of original soul and funk classics. Time for me to pay homage to some of the original artists, notably the drummers, that gave us the backbone of hardcore, jungle &amp; DnB.<\/p>\n<p>Put this one together fairly quickly, choppy mixing, no messing about, just wanted to let the tracks speak for themselves. They\u2019re all listed below and I&#8217;ll probably throw in a few examples of break usage for anyone who&#8217;s fussed. Most of these are pretty well-known but I\u2019ve thrown in a few lesser-sampled ones. This is a mix I\u2019ve wanted to do for ages; I\u2019m only scratching the surface, could have kept hunting these tracks down forever, but you gotta draw the line somewhere! Less than a day after finishing the mix I discover Lucille Brown &amp; Billy Clark\u2019s \u2018Both Eyes Open\u2019&#8230; a personal favourite. Fuck it, it&#8217;s going on the next mix.<\/p>\n<p>Massive shout to the guys at Rolldabeats forum (especially Beat-Findation who tracked down \u2018Non-stop Home\u2019 for me, props) &#8211; many of these sources I wouldn\u2019t have discovered without your efforts. Big up.
