AUDIO: 58 Minutes of Funk/Soul Breaks from DJ 3D

As usual when the DJs pull out the old stuff, 3D didn't provide a playlist.. anyone want to show off their beatdigging acumen and see how many of these you can identify?

Sitting at my computer here in Khartoum, Sudan enjoying this Rare-groove Blend(I'm a Londoner by birth and these beats were hard to get back in tha day)

The Don Blackmon track was large at house parties in London in the 80's

Some of the breaks I know offhand, but I gotta be honest... a lot of these i had to cross check from the songs that sample them.

as far as what L.A. DJs do this sort of thing... i been out of the scene for a minute, but J-Rocc definitely gets down with breaks. he's probably my favorite. i haven't been to the Root Down, but i'm sure they do break sets there. DJs at the Gabah/Chocolate Bar often do a similar treatment with hip hop, reggae, etc. and of course, Cut Chemist and Shadow are legends in the break game. PB Wold, Egon, etc... those guys are deep into that ish.

i think i could actually drop about a dozen more from this mix, but to be honest... it's not always as easy as just knowing the title. sometimes i catch a tiny snippet that was used and then my brain convulses until i remember some obscure 12" from like 1997. the-breaks.com finishes the hat trick.

But yo... definitely big up and thanks to 3D for the mix and everyone else for the ids. also... BP... if you ever want to exchange some music... hit me up.
