Well, in honor of your 1000th post (I'm well behind you), I'll give it a whack. I likey the song. It sounds like a steep crossfade trick where you faid into silence with a fader flip at the very begining of each horn section sample. You could slice the sample to a new drum rack kit and play those samples on the 'B' side of the crossfader and silence on the 'A' side.

Anybody know if the crossfader in live has a slope selector for hard slicing? If not, a hardware trick.

Thank you UE! I think the drum rack is probably a good idea. I'll also give the crossfader a shot.
