ALL ABOUT THAT BREAK
Popularized in funk songs of the 60s and 70s, the break was reimagined by the hip hop stylings of DJs and b-boys who sampled the sounds in their sets. Dancefloors in the UK soon caught on, with chopped up breaks as the sped-up backbone of jungle tracks. Then came Autonomic, footwork, and the shifting 80/160 and 85/170 tempos of slow/fast, embraced by artists rejecting the machismo of drum and bass. A new form of music – post jungle – emerged, a synergetic fusion of all that came before.
DECODED FORMS was created in collaboration with dBridge and Kabuki.

SPACE AND SOUL
DECODED FORMS blazes with disruptive bass and crisp drums. At its core are four iconic drum breaks from the 70s, chosen for their contextual versatility. Each one was meticulously recorded to capture the flavor and sonic character of the original. After extending the loops with improvised phrases, kits were created with each sound deconstructed, dissected, and dismantled into mix-and-match pieces. Additionally, spacey pads and warm chords give the expansion lush, atmospheric texture.SAMPLES AND LOOPS
