Oh the cry for more breakbeats! Well your tears have not fallen upon a heart of stone. Breakbeat 3 is hot on the heels of Breakbeat 1 and 2 and busts out with more nasty, dirty breaks but with all the updated sounds you're needing. The focus here is on live splice-n-dice drums, but with subtle electronic sounds to beef them up. Perfect for hip hop, R&B and dance (even breakbeat/big beat/nu-school breaks, trip hop, downtempo and more). What's even more impressive is Breakbeat 3's pedigree. Contributions come from major label recording artists Jamie Myerson (Columbia Records), as well as up-n-coming producers Alan Moore and Sean Dvorak. Tempos from 70-126, with emphasis in 80-100 range. Lots of long loops of 8-16 bars, with variations every two bars, and the hits at the end of each, plus a section of two-bar loops. "A rock solid collection of breaks." 10 out of 10 - Future Music, "A quality collection of breaks and beats that's well worth the asking price." 8 out of 10 - Computer Music |
