Scorpio Break Tribute Pack – Free DNB Sample Pack [Free Download]

Looking for a free Scorpio Break Drum & Bass Sample Pack that packs serious character? This one’s a certified heavyweight in the breakbeat hall of fame—and it’s yours, free.

Sampled from Dennis Coffey’s 1971 funk cut “Scorpio,” this break is all snap, groove, and attitude. Tight snares, clicky hats, and that unmistakable punch—it’s been the backbone of countless golden-era Hip-Hop, Jungle, and DNB records. There’s something magnetic about the swing of it, the swagger. It’s no wonder it keeps showing up in new tunes over 50 years later.

We pulled this directly from original vinyl, restored it, and processed a selection of powerful 174BPM versions to give you everything from raw retro groove to dancefloor-ready modern edits. And of course—it's free.

Why the Scorpio Break Hits So Hard

It’s that blend of funk and control. The Scorpio Break is crisp, funky, and incredibly punchy. It’s often used as a layer to sharpen other breaks—or on its own to lead with precision and attitude.

For Jungle, Jump Up, and especially old-school leaning rollers, this break brings just the right kind of energy. Want to make your drums snap like the 90s? This one will help you get there.

Who Used the Scorpio Break?

If you’ve spent time digging through classic Jungle, you’ve heard it. Artists like DJ Zinc, Krust, Dillinja, and Source Direct have flipped this break in their own way—and it always hits.

In fact, it was also heavily sampled in golden-era Hip-Hop—Eric B. & Rakim, LL Cool J, and Public Enemy all tapped into its funk. That crossover energy is what makes this break so usable across styles.
