I'm looking to firstly expand my music collection, and also I'm looking for inspiration for making my own stuff.

Basically im looking for the names of an artist or a few artists that almost exclusively use the original sounding amen break in their work... chopped up or not.
I know that a lot of you guys have grown tired of the amen break, but me, i dunno, i love it lol
Im trying to recreate some of the old skool sounds from the early days for example:
Shy fx and uk apache - original nuttah
DJ Starscream - pretty much anything by him
see thats about all i know of lol (tis why im trying to expand my collection/knowledge)

and i dunno if this is the amen but still any artists that even use this style:
Ganja Kru - Super Sharp Shooter

Now i know you guys who are real headz for dnb mostly dislike it, but i find it really good for gettin people dancing and it seems to have the immediate head nod effect in people.

I don't know why really, but i much prefer the amen to almost any of the current mainstream dnb currently floating around... i still like it and listen to it, but i much prefer the organic feel of actual sampled drums as opposed to the synthesised stuff that is the sound of modern dnb.

Any help would be really appreciated Big Grin
Thanks you guys,
PLaGuE CeLL
