been wondering about this sample for a while... it seems to pop up throughout the full spectrum of 90s dance music, so I'm assuming it's from one of those sample CDs (perhaps one that came with a magazine). either way it must've been widely circulated.

here are some tunes with it. the female moan, "ooh baby".

tomcraft - the mission

danny breaks - for the thinking positive crew

bizarre inc - raise me (eon's ascension mix)

lemon d - parazone

agent orange - electronic vibes

you get the idea.

anybody know the source of this sample?

It's usually used to describe playing 2 d'n'b tracks on top of each other, after the drops on each.

So instead of mixing in the intro of track 2 and then cutting across when the bassline or breakdown comes in, you hold both tracks in the mix for ages and have both basslines playing at once for maximum aural trainwreck benefits.

I always thought it was bringing the intro / breakdown of one track in over the breakdown of another track so you are keeping time perfectly with two beatless sections which then drop to have two basslines in the mix (as above). Always seem youngsta mix like this and assumed thats what double drop referred to...

yeah part of the skill is finding two complimentary basslines that work well together? it's called 'double drop' cos you drop both basslines..

Yes - this is my understanding, when it's used in d'n'b.
Otherwise it's just normal mixing, isn't it?

yh it can be done - I'v always thought of it as mixing in the 1st drop of a record with the 2nd or 3rd drop of another (unless you have a super long intro and can drop both 1st drops at the same time)

it has to be tightly in time and eq'd nice or it does sound too muddy/boombastic

apparently waterfalls are in B flat. toilets flush in B flat. glaciers groan in B flat. B flat is the lowest audible sub note on the majority of soundsystems. black holes emit a soundwave that is 57 octaves below the lowest B flat we can hear. what's the deal with B flat? :slanted:

Newsnight tonight, fell sleep asleep with the tv on. Did I hear Jeremy Paxman say were closing with a Jamie XXL (sp) remix of the Newsnight theme music. I might of been lucid dreaming or simple crazy.

What's the difference between jacking house and other types of early house music? Is it just like acid but without the squelchy bassline?

Do not read this.
unsure if this has been posted before but does anybody know why there are 32 bar drum loops as a separate last track on some of my old/relatively new records? Is this so producers who want to remix the track can lift the drums easily? Nice thought but doubtful

"Jacking" to me - unless they mean the dance - is about the hi hats rather than the bassline. It's anything that's really dancefloor, high-energy stuff. Not really deep at all.
