Tune of the Week: Gimme a Amen

The Amen break is one of the most utilized samples in all of electronic music. Taken from The Winstons’ “Amen Brother” it has been chopped up in samplers, looped and sequenced to help create tunes in a myriad of styles. It is one of two or three main breaks defining the dance music genre Jungle. The seemily manical focus on one piece of music creates a culture devoted to cutting up and creating new and exciting patterns and rhythms. Here UK producer Lavery works the break to the max while incorporating a flute sample Beastie Boys fans should instantly recognize. Shock out!
