Salt-N-Pepa's 1986 single \"I Desire\" saw one of the earliest uses of the Amen break. \n\nA number of releases in 1988 took it into the mainstream, including \"Straight Outta Compton\" by N.W.A., Eric B. and Rakim’s ‘Casualties Of War,' 'Mindfields' by The Prodigy, D'you Know What I Mean? by Oasis, Zatoichi by Denzel Curry feat. slowthai, Slip Inside This House by Primal Scream, Nightcall by London Grammar, Second 2 None by Mura Masa feat. Christine and the Queens, Life in Mono by Mono and \"Keep It Going Now\" by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock among many, many others.☑️", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
