Beats on Toast
Ahhh yAWn! On a day when I have no work or other early morning plans (of which there are few) I like nothing more than to kick back, switch on the sampler, pull out some dusty reccuds, and flip a few early morning beats. I like to think of it as my "beats on toast" to start the day.
Our first ingredient is a horn burst, followed by a helping of atmospherics, served with a dusty breakbeat chopped in two for easy digestion. OK so this isn't exactly gourmet cooking at its finest, but it will help you start your day bright and cheery.
I follow this with a rich helping of sleazy sax, surrounded by snappy drums, with a hint of flute. Watch out for the hidden stabs!
Mostly, I like to serve it up on the plate within a few minutes. I try never to complicate things when cooking up a selection. Too many ingredients can spoil a dish!
So, pop a couple of slices of funk in yo toaster and enjoy!

To (sort of) quote that scene in Wildstyle "What, your sitting around your Breakfast table doing this sh*t.....you should be earning a medal for this...."
Nice work Kid - you need to get some of this on wax one day....
Pzzzz .
Or to quote Beat Street: Double K:"What's the big deal of eating oatmeal? when all I feel is tired for real" Ma Dukes: "Eat your eggs or I'll break your legs!"
hotness indeed, catch you in Stock soon...
