Guest petesasqwax Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I remember losing my shit when I found this break, after spending one sweaty summers day digging it was worth it. This is why I still buy any pre-school/nursery rhyme/themed records Famously sampled for UNKLE - Lonely Soul Plus the rest of the album is dope, loads for sampling.Ha! Damn, I absolutely didn't know that UNKLE break was from there! The only Playschool break I knew of was this one that the Holmes, Strictly Kev, put me onto via Solid Steel years ago: (break is around 1m 50s) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest petesasqwax Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Damn, I just realised that I'm such a Secret Squirrel bastard about breaks sometimes!I doubt I've shared this one before, but I should have done: Adam and Mike used the loop at 7m 39s for an MHE track on Sound in Color years ago, but this whole record is fucking GOLD for samples. Check the open drums from just before the 7mins point right up until 7:39! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petesasqwax Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Whilst we're on killer UNKLE breaks: I kind of love/hate how things like this this and the Halpern record have become "well-known obscurities" - the sort of duplicitous phrase that the internet is so often responsible for Another one for the "well-known obscurity" club:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jlpOqg6zsI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest petesasqwax Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Fuck i need that album! Me too, man, but I don't think I'll be copping anything other than a reissue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petesasqwax Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 A mate of mine just showed off his original edition of this LP and it reminded me how much I love this track in particular. Total proto-hip-hop grooves from 1969: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeClockwork Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 That Arzachel track is crazy. Sounds like a slowed down version of this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petesasqwax Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Ha - it kind of does, mate. A totally smashed of it's face on mushrooms version, which, given the era and musos involved, it probably was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeClockwork Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I know I've posted this before but if you missed it, you should give it a listen. It's a mix of lesser known tracks with funky drum breaks.

Guest petesasqwax Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 That's dope! Thanks man, I'm only a few minutes in but I'm liking this already. I have to admit, after all these years I'm a hard man to please when it comes to break mixes so it's refreshing to hear something that ticks the boxes right out of the gate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeClockwork Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 'Drumdrunk' Yeah, that mix is great. 70% of the stuff on there I'd never heard of. Plus Mel Starr's a beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petesasqwax Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Ha - check this:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162106/I think we have found why the track sounds so similar to Keith Mansfield.

Guest petesasqwax Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Yeah man, Keith Mansfield got some library FIYA, no question! I was thinking - the thing that put me up on the Arzachel track was the Trapdoor mix from years back. Is everyone up on that or should I rip my CD for dudes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest petesasqwax Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 OK - here's the first Trapdoor mix that dropped in 2002. It's not as it was when I first heard it - for some reason some hefty chunks have been taken out of this one (I have no idea why) but it's a good idea of what that one was: Check the link to the Soulstrut post from 10 years ago to get more info. It's a pretty interesting story. Anyway, it was followed a few years later by this: Whereas the first volume only circulated on tapes (and file sharing programmes...) this second one was released on CD and vinyl (for some reason, I bought the CD... I dunno why, I just fucking did - it made sense at the time, I guess). Lots of people have taken a stab at identifying the tracks in this one over the years (like this dude) but I've never seen a complete one yet.
