I don't know if Schallplattenpolizei, the publisher of this great video series of obscure funk records had the legendary D.I.T.C. crew in mind when making this, but it's some great music nonetheless. The style of funk to come from parts of Europe seems to have heavy American influence in it's sound, but still manages to bring a unique feeling of it's own in the history of music, they even cover some classic tunes written by Americans. Many great moments of hip hop production in recent years have come from the sampling of dark, cinematic creations by Dutch musicians of the 70's, as producers have expanded their reach beyond the U.S. into this sound. I get the feeling of watching an action/suspense movie when hearing sounds of these records, which seems to be an attractive part to have in some of today's beats.

Listen to Alchemist in an interview with Lijn5 Dutch radio, he mentions purchasing records from Europe for use in his production: http://www.lijn5.com/page/popupplayer/162499/01:02:05

I can't recognize any standout samples that have been used by Showbiz, Finesse, Diamond or Buckwild here, but if you're looking for insight to some foreign breaks in general, this is a good teacher. He selects interesting parts of these records to educate you to what's worth looking for.
