Breakbeat of the Month #13: drumfunk/jungle with rare 70s break
It's time to make drumfunk/jungle!
(See other Breakbeat Of The Month episodes HERE 📺)
A patreon member sent me a drumbreak which I honestly have never heard before in any jungle tune.
EDIT! Someone pointed out DJ Die prob uses this one in the intro of "Play It For me"!
It is a long one and it does have its challenges, which is why I love it!
It will be my mission to make a full tune with this, and I guarantee that will happen.
Wanted to share the vibes, and you will get the Drum Rack (I've done the work for ya!) and the cleaned up sample too - see below for downloads.
I will show you the processing, on it, as it took a little bit of invigorating.
I will also show you a method to create really lush pads with Serum 2 really easily (I've completely stopped sampling any pads or chords: I roll my own these days).
Showing you a dynamic EQ capable of taking out resonances as well. Orion on the drums makes a cameo.
(PS: Just added two more feedback tier seats - those have been sold out for a while)

Looking forward to the end result! I will definately purchase it! Paul
Wait a sec, is the DL borked? I only get a single drum hit, the snare, not the break as seen in the video
Oh man - you are right! Theres a reason for this actually - I’ll spare you the details. Will fix link once I’m back home and let you know!
Someone pointed out DJ Die prob uses this one in the intro of "Play It For me" and they may be right!
He's right. Well spotted!
Have you tried Ultimate Vocal Remover? I've found that to be quite clean for vocal stem removal
No actually! Should prob check it out - there are so many options these days. A lot of times I go between Lalal, Steinberg Spectralayers, RX (altho I don't have the latest version so it feels a bit behind), Logic Pro and Ableton, comparing. Thanks for the tip!
This was cool, thanks. A few questions if it's ok? Pad harmonics, any reason you couldn't just put extra notes on the midi roll? Interesting to see you work with auto deresonators, I wonder if you've got an opinion about the one in TDR Nova GE?
As always with music, things can be done in many ways. But adding harmonics isn't exactly the same as adding notes. By the added harmonics wavetable tricks, I was able to create the sheen I was looking for without making it too busy (I did try EQing too; didnt help). Havent used Nova in years; prob should…I didnt even know it has one...prob didnt when I had it. TDR is well decent though.
