YES! I've worn this CD out, Friction late 90s blew my mind and turned me on to breaks, thanks Adam! :)

These Omar Santana tracks didn't age well, lol.

Seminal mixes these.  Relistening to this after sooo many years and LOVING the sound.   SICK !

I want to take you to a myseterious place.....  It's called....

Starting with my first mix album 'Coastal Breaks' in 1996, this is where it all began.

Mix Album Retrospective...

Another Essential Mix from 2003 was from another Nu Skool Breaks legend Adam Freeland. Pretty much the height of his career at this time with so many tunes under his belt from his label Marine Parade and so many bootlegs under different alias's it was a healthy time for the breaks scene and much loved by all.

This mix was aired on BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix from Adam Freeland back in 2003.

Through his 'Coastal Breaks' mix CDs in the late Nineties, and his own Marine Parade label at the turn of the century, Adam Freeland was synonymous with the breaks & edits scene that was prevalent. As a resident at Fabric, he contributed to the renowned 'FabricLive' series as well as popular mix series 'Back To Mine' and 'Global Underground'. As an artist and remixer, he bothered the Top 40 and even earned a Grammy nomination. Living back in California now, the Brit is also part of 'The Acid', a band he's formed with Californian Steve Nalepa and Australian artist RY X. For your first working Monday of the year (probably), we asked him to make a mix from the middle of the desert for us, and answer a few questions...

Adam Freeland: The 'Monday Is Okay' Mix

Considered one of the pioneers of the Nu Skool Breaks sound and an innovative person in trying out new sounds Adam Freeland was pretty much there at the beginning of the Nu Skool Breaks genre. This mix from 2000 was a kick start of the scene as we know it today for Breaks. Adam had a regular slot on UK's KISS FM with his ground breaking breakbeat show mixing (all in vinyl) a collection of artists that paved the way for a very loved genre at that time.
