Question for an experienced person:

Say I wanted to slice the Amen, Brother break up in Recycle. If I didn’t own the recording and didn’t have the means to rip the sample myself, I’d need to download it from the internet or find it on a sample cd, ultimate beats and breaks etc (which btw, does alter the Amen break).

How would I know the sample I’m using is of the highest quality and not some 9th generation, resampled, eq’d in some way, processed, etc…….In other words, do I just rely on my ears alone to judge sonic quality? Or how do producers determine that a sample/breakbeat is pure and unadulterated?

And is it best to convert said sample to mono? Or leave breaks in stereo.

Thank you

Does anybody know the original records that the breaks in this song are from? I'm trying to make this same style.

Here's a remix I just made out of one of Always Never's song - Morgan Freeman

Sometimes, a track just falls naturally into that timeless mid-2000s breaks/tech-funk pocket. When I reimagined House of Mirrors, it was like finding my way back to that golden era—think UNKLE, Evil Nine, and those classic tech-funk breaks that hit with equal parts weight and groove.

The Reconstructed Endless Maze Mix takes the introspective edge of the original and lifts it into something brighter, driving, and full of momentum. It’s cinematic, widescreen electronica for late-night journeys and end-of-set moments.
