I note it seems to be overlaid with something of Three Times Dope - Mr Sandman (as mentioned in the Supreme DJ Nyborn - Versatility thread), or at least something aping that... is it the same break loop but edited, do you think?

Sounds like Sandman or Versatility break chopped into oneshots. X-Men already used the break from Mr Sandman Club Mix in "Read Your Mind" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjSc1_ymdQo&t=14), so Phase 2 probably uses Sandman break as well.
