So, I'm not trying to highjack this thread, but there's a semi-relevant question that's been bugging me forever.
Way back in the day, If you talked about breakbeats as a genre you were talking about e-music with a james Brown "funky drummer" beat sped up as its foundation. That interspersed with some soul samples and big horn section breakdowns was kinda' what it was all about. I never got to into it as an electronica genre until about a year ago when I became obsessed with acquiring some.
the problem is that now breaks have evolved into a sub-genre of DnB and its nearly impossible to find old, old, old-school breaks, and Iv'e never run into so many dead ends trying to find music. Iv'e placated myself with organic deep soul breakbeats (my own designation; think 70's blacksploitation soundtracks), but its not the same.
Does anyone have any earthly idea what I'm talking about or am I just insane? We now resume this thread already in progress. Thanks for your time.
