"dantronix in the house" - inspired aliasing!
Mantronix as gateway drug to Amentalism - via "King of the Beats"
Skratchadelicism distils the equation: hip hop + E = ardkore
Flowers In My Garden - luvved-up hardcore as hip hop pastoralized
And of course, the sample, the sample is from Woodstock the movie - John Sebastian (ex of the Lovin' Spoonful) announcing the birth of a baby at the festival - "that kid's gonna be far out" (at 19.40 in this clip)
Danny Break'z was how he monikered himself early on !
The apostrophe got lost
Then it resurfaced with the new name Droppin' Science, presumably inspired by this track
Style Warz - flying that flag high!
"I was more into the music than the rapping" - Danny Breaks, in this 1995 interview for German TV, dropping science on his beat-science
(via Blog to the Old Skool, via Droid)
Handy playlist I made of Dantronix trax - appropriately it goes in a strange loop da loop, starting with the first Droppin' Science material and goes forward through those peerless releases, until - after "The Bear" - it doubles back to the Sonz of the Loop Da Era, er, era - but goes reverse-chronology, from "What The..." to "Far Out". Some remixes by him in there, and remixes of his tunes by others. It's quite a body of work
My interview with Danny Breaks from October 1995
Quite Viberty, what he went on to do
