Breakbeat
Breakbeat is a broad type of electronic music that tends to use drum breaks sampled from early recordings of funk, jazz, and R&B. Breakbeats have been used in styles such as hip hop, jungle, drum and bass, big beat, breakbeat hardcore, and UK garage styles (including 2-step, breakstep and dubstep). Etymology The origin of the word "breakbeat" is the fact that the drum loops that were sampled occurred during a "break" in the music - for example the '' Amen break'' (a drum solo from " Amen, Brother" by The Winstons) or the '' Think Break'' (from "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins). History 1970s—1980s: Classic breaks and hip hop production Beginning in 1973 and continuing through the late 1970s and early 1980s, hip hop turntablists, such as DJ Kool Herc began using several funk breaks in a row, using drum breaks from jazz-funk tracks such as James Brown's "Funky Drummer" and The Winstons' "Amen Brother", to form the rhythmic base for hip hop songs. DJ Kool Herc's breaks st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Guards Themselves
''The Guards Themselves'' is an album by New Zealand band, Minuit, that was supposed to be released during early 2005. However, during the production of "The Guards Themselves", lead singer Ruth Carr's left vocal cord was paralysed which delayed the production, and therefore, release of this album to 2006. According to specialists it was unsure if Ruth would ever be able to sing again. However Ruth managed to recover fully a year later and the production for "The Guards Themselves" was able to continue. Lyrically and musically this is a much more sinister affair than their debut. As well as the hard dance of elements that featured on ''The 88'' there is also evidence of a more "rock" influence on "The Guards Themselves" opposed to The 88. According to Paul Dodge, ''It sounds bigger and fuller and a little bit harder and it has a lot more depth to it''. He goes on to compare Minuit to a teenager, saying it's growing older. ''The Guards Themselves'' was mastered by Emily Lazar a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
