Sunday, Oct 18, 2026 · 1:00–3:00 pm All experience levels · Software: Ableton With Khary From funk and soul records to hip-hop, rave, jungle, drum & bass and modern electronic music, a few seconds of drums have shaped decades of music. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll trace the history of the breakbeat, listen to the original recordings behind some of the most recognizable breaks, and explore how producers have transformed them through looping, chopping, pitching and layering.
