Éclat Part 138

Avatar eclatcrew | May 6, 2025

Thanks to a sample pack recommendation by our very own Salma aka FunkyKid, today we have a sample pack from DJ Daddy Yonqui (instagram) and her Gumroad sample packs.

This sample pack is a reworking of the "Think Break", an extremely recognizable break from the 1972 song "Think (About It)" by the American soul singer Lyn Collins, written and produced by James Brown, performed by John "Jabo" Starks (see wiki here).

The isolated Think Break:

Download the sample pack direct from DJ Daddy Yonqui's Gumroad here for free (you can also send some money if you like).

Please note that the download comes as a .rar archive, and you'll need an Unarchiver to open the file. If you don't have an Unarchiver on your computer and prefer a .zip file, please let us know and we can send you one.

Today's challenge is to samples from this pack for all your drums / percussion, plus any other sounds and samples you like for other instruments, to make a track of ± 2 minutes long. You can mangle, warp, and process the samples any way that you like.

Submit your track to this Google Drive by 20:30pm, and then rejoin the Zoom call at 21:00 for our listening session!

Listen to what we made here!
