Ranked No. 4 in 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
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
Time-stretching discovered and immediately weaponised. The technical leap that turned hardcore into jungle, audible as it happens.
