Modern Marvels: Masters of Breaks

Dub Pistols breaks mix recorded for Beat-Herder festival

Dub Pistols - Breaks Mix June 2013

Happy Burning Man New Year (BMNY)! Given the energy so many of our communities contribute to make Burning Man the event it is, we could use our own calendar year (particularly if it came with additional vacation days for Burners!). Like most year ends, a dose of not-too-serious reflection in our case can be a good exercise.

 SpaceCowboys on-playa this year did some different things…since we reckoned “Wednesday is the new Friday”, “Orange is the new Black”, and “Breaks is the new Breaks”, we moved the timing of our annual Hoe Down to Wed. We also shifted the location to the deepest in the playa it has ever been. Based on the 1,000+ people and ~35 mobile art cars/pieces that joined in the shenanigans over the course of the night, we were simply delighted to see so many friends and communities join us ‘out there’.

 We promise to have even more crazy stuff like this year’s sushi, pork, beer from Denver, and so on next year. If anyone can find the SpaceCowboys a good deal on a mechanical bull or bungee bull, please contact DJ Shissla on FaceBook. Most importantly, we look forward to more of all of you J.

 Speaking of you kick-ass Hoe Down attendees, the SpaceCowboys drank a special Table Shot (long story) of Jameson to you at the end of the Hoe Down - because you were so dang professional with MOOP. We’ve never seen a cleaner playa post-Hoe Down, all thanks to you sexy, holdin’-it-down burners we’re so happy to call friends.

Now, on to the music! The first recording from the SpaceCowboys 2013 Black Rock Hoe Down comes to you courtesy of Shissla/Shizzy (or whatever you wanna call him, really). Keep an ear out on the RipeCast in the coming weeks for more rocking sets from SpaceCowboy DJs and our cadre of guests on playa.

Oh, and Happy BMNY 2013 from the SpaceCowboys to all of you!

Live At Stanton Sessions London Boat Party (24/08/13)

This summer I had a host of high profile UK & European Festivals and spent 3-4 weeks of solid studio time beforehand, tweaking and enhancing each & every track I played for maximum muscle. I re-edited and Revamped a total of 160 tracks during the process.

And then I went out and SMASHED it :)

Hope you enjoy this recording of my headline set from the wonderful Wickerman Festival in Scotland on a weekend where I also played Kendal Calling and Secret Garden Party before collapsing in a heap on Monday morning at 3am.

Martin Flex aka PuRe SX - Live DJ Set - Mega FM, Arkhangelsk, Russia - 25.11.2013 "FREE DOWNLOAD"

Hailing from Prague, Czech producer Grove brings us our 64th iBreaks release, with a double-header of dark, driving breakbeat.

Leading the way on this two-track single is “Dropping” which goes straight for the jugular with a driving kick and snare before introducing some low-slung warping bass into the mix.  A bubbling mid-line and acidic lead take centre stage before a metallic synth and filtered pads give a lighter feel towards the breakdown.  This is dark tech breaks at it’s finest!

Flipside track “Titan” has a less dark feel, but still with plenty of drive for the dancefloor.  A rhythmic bassline rolls over the beats with complementing talk box synths overhead.  The female MC vocal makes way for some crazier mid bass synth work lifting the track towards the end.  This one has plenty of groove to get butts moving!

Exclusive iBreaks.co.uk Release date: 21 Apr 2014
Official Release Date: 28 Apr 2014

The Fresh Kuts Series have been a great way for me to source fresh, funky and forward thinking music. This is for all my Breaks Headz out there ..... enjoy !!!


Krafty Kuts - Fresh Kuts Vol 7 Promo MIx

The Mog's heard a lot of DJs play a lot of music genres over the years, but there's one style that it always comes back to -- breaks. Yep, when the Mog made the bold decision to give up its profession as a gainfully employed radio truck and pursue its dream of becoming the playa's very first mobile DJ sound system, it did so marching to a broken beat. The year the Mog turns 40, and while it may be getting a little long in the sprocket it still hasn't lost its passion for fat nasty basslines with an amen!

So to celebrate its birthday, I'm giving the Mog the next best thing to a pony. Here's 40 tracks (and a few more for good luck) of breaks, new and old, including many the Mog heard for the first time on vinyl back when it was rockin Technic 1200s in the DJ booth instead of CDJs. 

Happy Birthday Mog! - 8Ball

Freestylers Essential Mix

So great to be back at Breakfast of Champions this year and playing in the morning which, to me, is just the perfect time for one of my favorite flavors of breaks - pretty, and really dirty. Huge thanks to Latvian artists "Under This" for more than half the tracks in this set. (IMO, no one does pretty/dirty better. Nice one, UT!) Massive thanks as well to the Space Cowboys (and Cowgirls) for throwing such a phat party (and for 15 years running)! Such a great way to start the year. Turn it up and rock out! Happy New Year! - Ethan

Ethan Miller RIPEcast - Live From Breakfast Of Champions 2015

Featuring interviews with the Plump DJ's & Freestylers.
This is the music that really took me around the globe and people associate Krafty Kuts with. For me some, of the most exciting and fresh sounding music has been with the breakbeat scene over the years. Playing to 40,000 people at the Exit Festival, headlining shows across Australia & New Zealand to big Festivals in the UK & Europe, USA & Canada. So many great artists have been a part of the Breaks scene ie. Freq Nasty, Plump DJ's, Stanton Warriors, Adam Freeland, Evil 9, DJ Icey, Deekline, Prodigy, Meat Katie, Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Rennie Pilgrem, Soul Of Man, Squarepusher, Pendulum, DJ Zinc & many more are all featured in this podcast. This was a trip down memory lane and I remember watching people lose there mind to so many of these tunes over the years and it's really good to see the Breakbeat scene still flourishing once again.
