He's one out of many modern independent artists who bring breakbeat and 70's style funk and Jazz sound.

I'm curious if producers use it. The artists (two dudes from the post rock group Tortoise) were very upfront in their hopes it would be embraced by hip hop producers.

7. "making music that "sounds old" is fundamentally flawed." In response to Reply # 0
people need to isolate the concepts that made it work in the first place and contemporize/add on rather than "try to pretend it's 19__" white musicians have been doing that "let's pretend" cosplay shit for almost 20 years. bands like the gories formed in the 1980's during that 50's revival period...

8. "as far as breaks as in open drums..." In response to Reply # 0
"new" breaks don't work because of the level they peak at and the fidelity in which they are recorded. crate diggers want breaks they can play with. look at th chicken grease snare from 10 years ago as proof. it basically killed rap music...

What gets me is that it's bad enough that most younger beatmakers don't even dig and would probably sample a break from a newer record but to me it's still plenty of breaks to be found and used heavily that came out in the 60's thru the 80's.
