Mantronix - King Of The Beats Lesson #1 free for downloading

this is easily one of the greatest hip hop tracks ever made, by one of the best and ground-breaking producers ever. Mantronix is still the future....

Amen break -Chopped up - This is THE prototype Jungle track -Respect Mantronik!

I often wondered where that straight outta Compton loop came from

The Amen break wasn't hard to get. Everyone was sampling from the Ultimate Breaks and Beats series and it was on one of the first volumes out in 1986. King of The Beats was also the source of The Power drum sample, Snap and Chill Rob G, and various other dance music artists that have sampled it. Chopped up Mardi Gras coupled with The Meters' Look Ka Py Py drums.

Classic!!! Mantronik always been so underrated, this song was influential to many artists too!

I had this on 12" still sounds fricky fresssshhhhhhh

oh man back in the day when mike pickering or graham park spun this intro in the Hacienda -   put your drink down, stop what you're doing and get on the DF  :)

4:51 is the dopest beat on this album

Before hardcore/breakbeat/jungle speeded up & really rinsed out that Amen break lol

This guy was way ahead of this time

not just a yeah, but a HELL YEAH!!!! Mantronix brought his own unique style to hip hop, when everybody else was sampling the same beats over and over again. he done it his way LEGEND...

I go bananas when this joint got played still do

I was born at the right time for my 80s teenage obsession, Oh, once upon a time I had the vinyl as part of my collection, Although it's all in my memory past cells now, Never will I forget that def Mantronix sound, I remember getting so hyped by it that you can't stand still, There's nothing quite like it, And I know it's still a thrill,

Ice T sampled the first siren on his jam "The Hunted Child" off of his 1989 album "The Iceburg/Freedom of Speech...Just Watch What You Say".

One dislike really, I hope it was an accident, cause who in their right mind could hate on this.

My favorite use of the Amen break until Straight Outta Compton took it to the next level. This is a MONSTER track.

this 12" used to trade for over £100 

I wanna run down a fire escape with a 20 inch standard definition TV in my arms
