The Most Sampled Loop in Music History
What do Skrillex, David Bowie, Salt-N-Pepa and basically every drum and bass track have in common? They've all used the Amen break, a four-bar drum solo that has become the most sampled loop in music history. Recorded in 1969, the six second sample originates from the song "Amen, Brother" by The Winstons, a funk and soul group from Washington, D.C. Once producers caught wind of the solo, it took off, going on to change music forever.
The Monks of Mount Athos
Amongst the picturesque cliffs of Mount Athos, Greece, lives a community of monks who have been on this sacred piece of land for centuries. Isolated and hard to reach, the mountain is one of the most important places in the Christian Orthodox world. The monks first arrived on the island in the ninth century, and their way of life has essentially remained the same. Come along and get lost in their tranquil way of life.
