....that I downloaded like 500 years ago, prolly from some site called "coolphatbreakbeatloopz.co.uk".

 

I think you mean phatdrumloops.com, I remember downloading a few breaks at a time to 3.5' disks in an internetcafe back in the days. Mostly shitty quality, but that adds flavor innit. 

 

 

Shitty quality?  Surely you jest.

all my breaks come from a CDr from some guy in Sweden made me years ago when CD writers were just coming out. Something went wrong during the burning process and some of the samples have massive distortion on certain sections. A weird happy accident really. The point is: I agree that poor tech makes interesting results. 

When I worked at a record store years ago one of my coworkers had something like 25 hand-labeled cassettes full of breaks that a DJ in Chicago I think (I forget where or who) had made straight from his personal vinyl collection and was dubbing at home and selling mail order in the late 90s and early 2000s.  By then he had already switched over to CD-R but my coworker stuck with the cassettes because they had track listings, whereas the CD-R versions didn't have anything but a volume number on the disc, to help keep him from getting sued and/or kicked off eBay. I really regret not getting copies, because we listened to them at work sometimes and they sounded really good.

Yeah that sounds rad!

I am impressed with the whole drum funk breaks genre of macc and dgohn, paradox etc but after a while the tunes just get tiring...and seem to just focus on the technical aspects...

anyone ever made an awesome break with a drum rompler like bfd or superior drummer?

This is ace; stuff from vinyl ripped to cassette (especially drum breaks) sounds gorgeous imo. Or can do, anyway.
