## What 3 lists say

### No. 4 in [Breakbeat Hardcore](https://waxonia.com/genre/breakbeat-hardcore/)

Goldie and Mark Rutherford discover time-stretching and use it to make a break sound like it is being pulled apart. The technical leap that turned hardcore into jungle.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — 160](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-160/)

The time-stretch that changed what a break could be. The technical leap is what gets written about; the atmosphere is the part that has actually lasted thirty years.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)

Time-stretching discovered and immediately weaponised. The technical leap that turned hardcore into jungle, audible as it happens.
