Dance music often relies on "breaks" : samples of drumming from a pre-existing song. One such break -originally from Lyn Collins' "Think about it" is one of bases of Baltimore Club. My point is that in many cases we should identify re-use of familiar music as valuable to community, and if law discourages that we should think about changing it.. here’s the link to the graphic which illustrates the “Think” break – a key building block of Baltimore club music.
