Breakbeat Of The Month #7: analog techstep vibes in Optical's footsteps (+essential DNB recommendations!) [video class]
Added 2024-10-06 08:01:01 +0000 UTCChop chop! A less intense chop job but more focus on more spacious minimal vibes.
Working with Jimmy McGriff: The Worm
I often hear ppl sample the break that Optical did, from Optical I mean, but once again I want to have you roll your own. If I now made a tune out of this, I'd def process it even further to make it even more my own, but I think this'd be a pretty good starting point!
DOWNLOAD the break I put thru my Akai and Soundcraft mixer HERE.

Some relevant DNB recommendations (I should actually do more of these, right? Lemme know if you'd like to hear more) as these two use the same break:
• Optical & Ed Rush: Lifespan (sick, sick, minimal techy tune in a class of its own)
• NOHA: Start (Optical remix) (another tune rocking the Worm break)
One more for good measure: not the same break, but from Optical anyways…absolute badman business, and like someone says on the comments, "9 minute tune, today's youth doesn't have the attention span for this"…now I don't want to disrespect the youth but I will say today's musical climate can be a bit ADHD and some ppl cater too much for playlists and whatever…screw that, and if you want to make a 9-minute tune, then make a 9-minute tune!

Totally down with that. Always loved the intro to Grooverider's Remix to Jonny L's Piper. Proper tone setter. It just makes the drums and b-line all the more appreciated with some patience time. I was surprised by Mark System's Wanna Dance. For a modern tune the long intro was nice to hear.

2024-10-30 17:41:01 +0000 UTCI always come back to playing Lifespan. It never ages for me. The drums are spot on and the length of the track is just a proper mood setter allowing you to properly get in the groove. I miss the long tunes to be honest.
