Ok, this is just stupid. I don't give a fuck how many jungle ruffnecks
have used a break. My assessment of breaks is based solely on how I can
use it, and how versatile it is. The tone of the drums, and the overall
feel mean more than "oooh! look how IDM I am, I sampled a break from some
an Elvis track". blah blah blah. It's the same thing with 808/909
sounds. Yes, everyone and their mom uses 909 samples, but why and how? 99%
of the stuff I hear with 808/909 samples uses them in a really boring way,
but there's that special 1% that really makes me turn my head. That, to
me, is much more artistic and impressive: to take a sound that many people
know and do something totally new and fresh with it.
