[@STRANJAH]

What other AMEN PATTERNS do you want to learn next? 😀

[@ATFsinners1994]

Don’t know but will you one day be doing a feedback review on your fans tracks?

[@STRANJAH]

@@ATFsinners1994 Yes!

[@ATFsinners1994]

@@STRANJAH let’s go!

[@sock_park]

J Majik "Arabian Nights"

[@brunogoncalves9747]

Would be amazing if you did a Nebula's "Chords of Sorrow" drum pattern!

[@Benchaku27]

"If you love drum and bass and dance music..." No mate, we love you banging out better free content than some are charging a fee for! Absolute legend! 💯

[@STRANJAH]

lol thanks man fair point!

[@DEDE-mt3yq]

Absolutely ! Thanks mate ! Couldnt have said it better

[@TemmeSikkema]

Best YT comment I’ve read in years. Truth ❤

[@kurakczek]

One of my fav amen break tunes isn't really even in the jungle/dnb canon, it's Squarepusher's "Port Rhombus", just reminded me of that massive nostalgia trip! :D

[@apoplexiamusic]

yeah Port Rhombus is such a masterpiece. like how to make a break a truly expressive instrument, not to mention the sick jazzy bassline on top!

[@patrickblakethesaint]

Squarepusher, in general, is something I strive to sound something like.

[@mrowen5055]

Thanks for the recommendation

[@drindy5166]

Amen to that ! ;)

[@Smokahful]

my fav track evah

[@ScramTek]

This feels like some secret, master-key knowledge that I don't have clearance to have access to. Like, any minute now, Babylon gonna smash down my front door and bust in my yard. This is like the Junglist Ark of the Convenant and we're being blessed to be given an audience!

[@STRANJAH]

lol well said

[@agustadnb]

This guy is the gift that keeps on giving 🙌🏻

[@skeennah1927]

This was one of the most amazing videos I have ever watched on youtube. 7 out of the 10 tracks deconstructed, I own the vinyl, bought between 93-94, some of the best years of my life raving to Jungle. This video was perfectly done, and the breaks deconstructed, and it really gave me chance to see the DNA, of the tracks I loved soo much. After this video I had to subscribe to you, also I love when you play the final deconstruction, yoy show Lives screen at angle, nice touch.

[@STRANJAH]

Amazing to hear that. Glad u appreciate the work. Bigup

[@328irossi]

Love this! A sound that generated from here in the UK and this guy is embracing it totally! Big up all the junglist !!! 🔥

[@RaverOperator]

💯👊

[@jbsoundjb643]

Hello STRANJAH. Thank you for this little tutorial. I think you must be the only one on the internet to have done this work on the AMEN BREAK. Big respect STRANJAH

[@timparker5197]

Oh my word! Hearing all those iconic tracks being made sent shivers down my spine. You are a legend mate. Thank you so much for sharing this, it has been extremely educational.

[@STRANJAH]

Welcome mate!

[@Flux_One]

I was at a rave, possibly Helter Skelter, in 95, and remember when Babylon Splash was played. It was rewound about 10 times. Amazing memories

[@STRANJAH]

What a great memory to have!

[@ryan-majorbreakz5676]

It was produced by Undercover Agent aka Splash. I won't mention his name but the man was a true visionary. Dubplate Circles, Oh Gosh and many more. I remember hearing it on dubplate via Pirate radio and my Jamo's were rumbling - happy memories.

[@KoolaidManWalker]

Ive been making Rap Beats for 10 Years, Ive decided to get into Drum & Bass and you've made it so EASY! Great Job, also, you should definitely show us how to recreate the Old School patterns with Midi.

[@djghostmode]

this is huge. Jungle producers have to know this piece of audio front to back, inside and out.

[@skeennah1927]

strong facts!

[@badlefthook624]

Photek would spend a solid month chopping and programming breaks for some of his tracks....and he was the king of chopping breaks in the 90s

[@sweetspike]

Stranjah bought some of your packs. love your positive energy

[@CyberSystemOverload]

UK here. Grew up in West London and remember when jungle arrived like a bulldozer. The first 10 seconds really bought the memories back. Subbed to you, fantastic presentation. I'd love to learn how to create this stuff.

[@La_sagne]

im just a standard rock & funk drummer... but ive always had a weak spot for music history so ive loved the amen break. this was so cool to watch. thanks for making this

[@ldmdesign5610]

Using the audio like that made for a much better viewing experience

[@craigchaotic]

This is absolutely unreal tutorial. I’m just getting into this after after not touching any production in years. You’ve just helped kick me in a huge way

[@secretairece175]

Nice job mate. You show Love for Jungle. See next Vidz.

[@foodstampz]

Real talk..u killin it..!! Selecta Foodstampz said di ting..biggupss

[@NAM999DnB]

This video is pure gold for anyone who loves DnB and Jungle. Thanks.

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

Looping the first 1/4 note splice of the last bar 🔥.. gives this floating feel with the bass drum stomping on the down beat .. always loved that

[@ryanm6558]

That was just too good. You somehow keep raising the bar on your own videos Stranjah. More Amen choppage please!

[@simonh2522]

Love this - but listening on my phone so when you say "let's hear it with the bass" and I can still only hear the break ☹️

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

Get some headphones or a nice sound system and try again.

[@sipinbar]

You’re an absolute legend. It’s really cool that you love what you do.

[@vennsung]

Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@mark-nesterov]

You blowed my mind) huge thanks🙏

[@KelmoMusic]

Here comes the Drums is sick!!

[@anssiuimonen3328]

Gotta say that this vid came spot on, especially Splash Babylon as I have been listening to it on repeat during the past two weeks. Legend that just cant get old no matter what. Big up

[@user-hc5tv6yk9t]

the dillinja remix of that baaangs

[@jeikobu_jeikobu]

This is the best breakdown of amen beats I’ve seen. Very impressive. 👏 bookmarked.

[@Saamw2Xb]

the ableton project is a gem !!

[@kilam1011]

Holy shit I've never felt a video call to me more. Instant sub

[@1mrjingo1]

Just started my first track chopping up the amen a few days ago and was wondering about techniques and this pops up! Thanks

[@MFTKR]

love deep blues used of Blowfly Sesame Street break to make helicopter, love dimensions uk, great new classic. another great video.

[@roxiola]

Fantastic content - - straight to the juicy choppage, while keeping it fun 👌

[@ElginChris]

Stranja, your videos are a gift. Thank you.

[@curlyroller2301]

my god, man. every time I think I love jungle and the amen break as much as is possible, I somehow love it more! This video is so great! Choppage is this this mad thing, where when you actually know how it is done, it doesn't take away any of it's charm or magic: it only gets more magical.

[@STRANJAH]

I agree you can go down a path of endless possibilities

[@xCORRUPTAx]

Would love to see a part 2 of this @stranjah. One of your best videos

[@yaseenhussein5809]

I've learned , had so much fun and a big smile on my face from this video. never before have I had that 🥰

[@felcocb]

I love Acid Rain - big up soldier ~~~ jah bless

[@russellleo5182]

Big up from Burlington my friend. I remember when all these records originally dropped in the warehouses. Thanks again for all your contributions to the beloved scene.

[@willflo7486]

Jeeeeezus @STRANJAH this is the biggest piece of drum production secrets hands down. Absolute legend! :D

[@davidreichert9392]

Your lessons are awesome. Especially the dance lessons you give at the start of each video.

[@albhandyman7366]

Bro, you got all the layers of all the onions on this one. Maximum Bo!!!!

[@1disturbedjunglist]

Great video. Should be massively popular. Big ups.

[@wg3063]

Renegade snares is a personal favourite

[@kl4rky]

Such simple but effective way of chopping the break!

[@qualichor1222]

This has literally blown my mind man, BIG UP

[@shortattentionspa.....]

its really pleasing seeing this done in audio vs midi!

[@jedkoh]

Yup I also have to agree the DJ SS Black was really up there for me!

[@beaubergeron6369]

This breakdown was the thing I needed to help me get into this genre! Amen to that!

[@MrMikomi]

Okay no worries I just got to the bit where you plug your serum presets. Thanks for the vid btw.... I am old enough to have been raving to to this stuff way back in the day. Always wondered how it was done. Of course they were all doing it on akais and emus.

[@eternalgoldenvoid6988]

I love this. Big up to the jungle massive!

[@gertfukked3082]

@STRANJAH please do Tango - Understanding of you do another video on this theme

The way you said nuttah 😂 legend stanjah sick video

[@albert341]

I’m not a producer or anything, just a long time jungle fan but may I say this video is absolutely wonderful, FWIW my favourite amen/ baseline combo is MTS - Hard Disk

nice to be back on a proper jungle ting

Yes CLASSIC.

[@matijalovsin5911]

This video really shows the power of Ableton. Great work

Krome and Time where always be favourites of mine, Studio One Lik is a great example of their Amen work

[@markkirschenmann3925]

Very informative, thanks so much for posting!

[@benmochrie7832]

I’ve not watched this before….. it’s sick! You really do love the Jungle! Maximum respect Brother! 👊👊👊

[@havokanddisorder]

@STRANJAH Been thinking, would be awesome if you could do a video on how to get an amen to sound like the one in Pressure Drop. Bit of a challenge for you?

[@JakeLDS]

Wow, I was watching you're videos when you had just a couple thousand subs. Love that you're just smashing it now.

[@STRANJAH]

Thanks man!

[@michaelx9079]

Fantastic video .....always loved to hear a mangled amen but never really got my head around how to make complex cuts like this......makes sense now......thanks

[@STRANJAH]

Most welcome!

[@thomasmalone9813]

would love to see a vid on all the old pad styles, also it would be proper cheeky if you did a vid on classic jungle vocals and efx. safe dude.

[@STRANJAH]

Can look into it!

[@damiangoulson4950]

Please do! 🙂

[@shen6232]

yes pads would be nice, preferably serum or ableton stock plugins! :v

[@mank3y_]

yeah that would be sick

[@clarkflavor]

evolving nice pads that aren't just filtered saw waves in unison are so hard to make!

[@damonomusic]

phenom vid... but the comments at the end of each example has laughing everytime! Thoroughly enjoyed:)

[@djraw8633]

Loving these break tutorials, big lips stranjah 😤🙏🏻

[@DJCrisisUK]

the nostalgia in this video is unreal, took me back almost 30 years 🙌🏾

[@analog_ape]

The opening is so sick

[@velosobruno]

I have chopped amens before, but this is actually a super fun way to do it, thank you Stranjah

[@twilolight]

I’m not feeling the ads however your video was great. I had no idea most of these tracks were using the end of the break like that. Even more interesting is your KZbin handle... “Stranjah”.... it rings a bell!!! So I looked on discogs and yep, your him! You made one of my favorite jungle records, the 2000 era remix of Hardrive “Deep inside”. I liked that so much that when I visited 611 Records in philly, right before it closed, I saw your record on Version VER001 and I bought it just because you made it. Ads aside, I like your videos and I’m glad I have two of your records.

[@STRANJAH]

Thank you glad you like those early records!

[@michaelrasmussen8590]

Did you ever do a part 2 to this? Would love to see it!

[@Interface3072]

Really great video - you made some excellent pedagogical choices in using audio rather than MIDI, isolating and describing the component parts of the break, and colour-coding the clips. This is the stuff that sets you above the rest! I'd love to see a follow-up video on drumfunk choppage/programming in the style of Paradox and Nucleus, as well as how to get that gritty signature sound.

[@STRANJAH]

Sure I love the choppage sound, will work on it

[@Interface3072]

@@STRANJAH Incredible, can't wait!

[@precisodeumvulgo]

Damn I'd love to see, especially how to get that fatass Equinox Amen sound... I think it's a pitched down amen with a high resonance filter but I haven't quite figured it out yet

[@jontshyza]

I love it when he says "let's here it with the bass" great work 👏

[@butchtuckermanbeats1114]

thanks bro, the think break and beta break are my favorite breakbeats

[@Vandalsounds]

Amen to that brother!

[@Vandalsounds]

btw Majik - Your Sound 🙌

[@wakegary]

amens and detuned saws . all ya need. maybe a detuned sine actually

Absolutely T for tremendous

[@DoubleDouble85]

Great video 💯

[@countorringtonludlow5211]

More tutorials like this! Where you show the real real raw business! Really prefer these with a quick product plug vs reviews of things sent to reviewers for free in exchange for a video. Great job reworking these and thanks for using audio!

[@STRANJAH]

Your welcome. Agree with the video content strategy! Much more fulfilling

[@georgeespley9177]

I could listen to amens all day tbh!

[@FathomSoundProAudio]

Props to you for taking all the time to do this and editing the video clips together so densely and clean!

[@Parasitemusic]

If you like dimensions UK you have to check out H.M.P - Runnins!

[@floatingdoor]

Killer vid, I would be stoked to see if you had anything to talk about other break samples people use.

[@STRANJAH]

absolutely!

[@seangray4512]

Got any suggestions?
