My rule for happiness these past few weeks

I've enjoyed listening to drum n bass and related music genres my whole life and have recently started obsessing over it a lot. The Amen Break is just so versatile and used across so many different genres

Do you know this very meditative video, explaining the history of the break?

- Yeah I'm not even into music in the slightest, and immensely enjoyed that video when I watched it... ages ago.
  Now it's impossible to not hear the amen break.
  If the person reading this doesn't know what "the amen break" is, watch the video. Awesome.
  I didn't even need to click the link, remembered the thumbnail.
  
  I love, how this project was done. Someone wrote and narrated the text, searched for all the music samples and pressed it on a record, when YouTube was already a thing. This is art!
- Holy shit the narrative is so relevant to today's generative AI debate

You might like to know of Amen Andrews. It's one of Luke Vibert's aliases, so you know to expect quality.
