The World's Most Import 6-sec Drum Loop by THE WINSTONS


This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a single by THE WINSTONS in 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for madchester, drum & bass, jungle music etc. A six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison's 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.
I 've b
een playing Winstons' Amen theme hundred of times in parties etc during the last 10 years. Yeah!
