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 Thanks you guys, PLaGuE CeLL __ My Myspace 12-04-2006 18:29 Dj RaptoR Cool Tourist Registration Date: 23-03-2006 Posts: 28 for all i know the amen break goes like bbK t ktkbK. i would say some tracks of zink although i'm not sure 15-04-2006 19:42 Pablex Massive Junglism Registration Date: 20-11-2002 Posts: 1,192 Helpfulness rating:  there are some pretty obvious examples, since these guys have made a comeback or are getting repressed lately: krome & time/tearin vinyl camp remarc suburban base (label) bizzy b (also releasing new stuff) some heavy amen mash ups to me are: -the dream team "warriors" (subbase) -bizzy b & dennis brown "rebel with a cause" (labello blanco) -anything by remarc but fav's being: "sound murderer remix", "rip remix", "ricky" although i'm not sure ricky's an amen based track -prisoner "mr fix it" london sumthing->the amen isn't the most present element in this track but this only shows that a track with amens in it can still be "beautiful" -johnny jungle "johnny" dj dextrous remix -dj mayhem "inesse" ray keith remix (i think it's an amen based track?) -potential bad boy "brown girls" ibiza -sophisticated bad boyz "junglist & junglette" suburban base... .. but since the amen break is probably the most popular break it has been used too much to give enough examples to make sure you're not influenced by personal opinions so the best thing you could do is look for some random old school sets, i'll probably end up giving you mostly reggae/ragga influenced names anyway make sure to check these 2 though: http://www.ragga-jungle.com/ mostly ragga jungle, but there are frequently reggae, old school jungle, breakcore, ,grime sets, etc.. being posted and i think it could be possitive to check how other people interpret amen based jungle aswell, but offcourse without letting you influence too much by opinions rather than music of others and then: http://sampleoidz.co.uk/forum/index.php also a forum about production but bizzy b's forum, so a bit more jungle influenced since bizzy b up to today still produces breaks-based music with dnb/old school/hip hop/dubstep and most importantly choppage subfora __ 16-04-2006 16:31 Friscko Aron Tinnitus Registration Date: 12-03-2005 Posts: 4,467 Helpfulness rating:  ed rush & fierce - locust it's not a new track, it's on the "prototype years lp" from 1997 or so, but it's amen and classic for new released stuff, check what's out on the Dread label (=Ray Keith, Serum, ...), check some stuff from the people involved in Ink & Loxy's Horsemen, like Gremlinz, Friske,... __ www.myspace.com/arontinnitus www.myspace.com/djfriscko 16-04-2006 21:09 hookerz Steppa Registration Date: 19-01-2006 Posts: 81 Helpfulness rating:  easy & wontime- 10 % __ 29/01 Stealth Bombers @ Entrepot, Brugge 03/02 Student Night @ Culture Club 04/02 Arcade @ Herstel 12/02 Drop! @ Db, Utrecht 16/02 Steam & decadance, Gent 18/02 Sinister Soundz @ 't Ongeluk, Bxl 19/02 Rampage @ ICC, Gent 17-04-2006 15:15 baz 7 Registration Date: 19-02-2005 Posts: 1,531 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by PLaGuE CeLL 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. hell no ; these are the tracks that got me listenin to dnb in the first place!!! clownstep an styles that come close to clownstep do rock ; it's just that even in clownstep u still can find real bad tunes gettin pressed i just hate clownstep when it ain't perfect __ "shotgun ; slammin in yo chestpiece ; blaw" 22-04-2006 20:43 drumnbass.be forum » Drumnbass scene » Track IDs » Not so much a Track ID, more of an artist ID :)
