DJ Food - Mella

[mikeeee]

Taken from DJ Food - Jazz Brakes Volume 2 (Ninja Tune, 1991) also featured on the Ninja Cuts - Funkjazztical Tricknology compilation (1994).

 

This is a combination of the 'gilded splinters' break, bits of Ike Turner's Funky Mule break, and at least another break I'm not too sure about.

 

Sampled by:

 

Acen - Trip to the Moon Pt 3 (Kaleidescopiklimax)

DJ Blatant - Blatant's Theme (Spare Beat Recs)

 

I found a sample of it on the link below but can do a better quality clip if you like:

hey good find.

 

I know this break from here & there. I'll see if I can find any more examples :smile:

[shane]

i'm pretty sure it's got one of the breaks from the first kool and the gang album in it, give it up or perhaps chocolate buttermilk

just thought but this is the break you can hear in The source (feat candi staton) - You've Got the Love (1991). it's beefed up abit somehow. also go a funkypenguin style Uh! at the end.

Yeah that remix of You've Got The Love sampled it from Trip To The Moon Part 3. Acen layered the Mella break with the second gen 'assembly line' break from Let The Rhythm Hit Em by Eric B & Rakim, see this topic.

Update report!

 

found the original. not so much my efforts though as I wasn't looking for it, but you may have heard of some one who goes by the name of 'Declassified' his breakpack. He's now compiled a monster of a 2nd volume, and I've only downloaded part 1!!

 

Here's the break. I don't think it's from a proper song or anything but it will be from around the late 50s early 60s maybe!

not to do with Mella but looks like beastie boys found it before DJ Food

around the end

might have to watch it on YT site because of a stupid advert break at the beginning.

Think this is the first break that comes in on Baby D - Let Me Be Your Fantasy...
