--> HI!


My radio show tonight, Monday the 23rd, entitled "Optic Echo Presents" on Portland Radio Authority is dedicated to those of you who may or may not have heard of the Amen break. It's the sample that pretty much makes up a good chunk of the drum lines to the genre of Jungle or Drum N Bass. Now, I'm no Jungle DJ, but it's really really importand for many reasons.

For the 1st hour of my set, I'll be giving a history of the Amen from its original sample to hip hop to electronic music. The second hour will be some mixes that use the Amen, then an upbeat set to finish the show mixed live on 2 turntables.

I'm streaming live tonight from 6-8 PST on link. You can call up and talk while I'm on the air at 503-22BLAST. Hope you enjoy ...

Great show Mike! I am glad you podcasted! Now I can listen whenever I want

Awesome show. Lots of information! Thanks for sharing.

If you didn't get a chance to check it out! Here is the podcast link

Yeah, if you check out the previous comments, you can find the Nate Harrison video I sampled from for information from the show. And the podcast link was only 1 hour of my show, so you're missing the beginning and end of it all.
