Junodownload review:
Big booty business from two of south England's most promising nu-funkateers: London's Lebrosk gets his backpack on with some classic horn-blasting hip-hop fusion that doesn't sounds dissimilar to Ugly Duckling. Party vibes guaranteed...

Bringing the Boom Back!

Nothing like 2 years in between episodes.  While I still have been mixing all the  time  I haven't recorded a set outside of a guest mix for Joe Wink's Broken Essence. Which you can listen to here:  https://soundcloud.com/mr_wink/joe-winks-broken-essence-104-featuring-grade-e

And the live set I did at Ace Cafe: https://soundcloud.com/grade-e/grade-e-live-set-at-ace-cafe-orlando-soundaminds-50th

Episode 4 of BCB was definitely inspired by Joe's set he played the week I guest mixed. That set has been one of my favorites of 2022.  My set is a bit of a  throw back sound to a much earlier two-part series I did in the early 2000's called "BreakTrancing." Some of my DC friends may remember those tapes.  Getting breaks remixes was a bit of rarity back then and I was one of the few playing those remixes. I made a mix  of tracks that  straddled breaks and trance that was popular at that time.

This set will hopefully get your toes tapping. Grab a coffee and join me. 

Tracklisting:
1.  Private  / Taste  (Ashtrax  Ambient  Mix)
2. Bod Diana Miro  / Underwater (Sasha Carrasi Mix)
3. Hexadecimal  /The End
4. Richie Blacker / Atlantis
5. Selsi / Dust (Framework Electro Breaks Remix)
6. Olan / Contra 
7. Bicep  /  X  (feat. Clara  La  San)
8. Framewerk / Yeke Yeke  Rewerk  (Dub)
9. Flume , Emma Louise / Hollow  (Logic 1000 Remix)
10. Rochelle Jordan / Situation (&Me Remix)
11. Noel  Sanger / Falling  Upward
12. Diplo, Damian Lazarus / Don’t Be Afraid (DJ  Tennis  Remix)

Black Coffee Breaks - Episode 4

My latest Black Coffee Breaks mix, now up to Episdoe 5. A fresh serving of 90's inspired breakbeats, groove laden melodies with a bit of a melancholy tone that works so well in dance music. Maybe it's all the minor keys. 

All tracks are from the summer months of 2023, but it's amazing to me how much of a 90's revival is happening in the breaks scene these days. Recycled drums loops, pianos galore, but the bpms  have come down a bit. 

Tracklisting
1.  Framewerk - Mercury and Solace
2. John Gurd & Reset Robot - Ashen
3. Arlan - Flow through the canyon (Ran Kaler Remix)
4. Because of Art  - Circle of Light
5. Sasha  & Because of Art - Fused
6. Tim French - Veritas (Truth)
7. Matin HERRS - Do we love each other
8. Jeremy Olander - Hollow Halls
9. Matty Right - Realisation 
10. Digital Base & Andy Vibes - Darling
11. Ranj Kaler - Recovery

Hi friends - I’m kicking off a new dj set series that allows me to release music in my two favorite genres of deep house and breakbeats. Over the coming months I hope to release at least one new set on a semi-regular basis. 

Inspiration for the music comes mornings, black coffee, my favorite DJs, good grooves, 90 breaks and much more. 

Some of you may know me more for progressive breaks that I’ve played for years and still love. While you’ll certainly hear that type of sound in the breaks set, I’ve gravitated towards breaks that were slightly more acoustic, heavily influenced by classic nineties vibes with some modern melodies.  This set is good for chilling listening or club dancing. 

I have borrowed a few tracks that I’ve heard in other recent sets from some of my favorite DJs, but hopefully found my own unique take on them by placing them in the mix in my own way. While not focused on the hottest latest tracks that are mere minutes old, I hope you'll still be hearing some tunes that maybe you're hearing for the first time. 

Thank you to anyone that gives these a listen. Your ears are always appreciated. Your comments are always welcome.

Black Coffee Breaks - Episode 3

Download A Color Map of the Sun, including 3 bonus tracks and the companion album Live Studio Sessions From A Color Map of the Sun, at www.prettylightsmusic.com

This is the first time I am releasing an album as a physical product at the same time as a digital version. The second disc of the double CD set contains 13 additional tracks straight off the vinyl acetates that I composed and created in order to make legit sounding samples for A Color Map of The Sun.

Like always, the album is available in its entirety as a free download via prettylightsmusic.com. For the first time however, I encourage you to purchase a copy of the album. There are two honest reasons for this. The main reason is that as an artist I have always reinvested any success I have directly back into the music, the show and the art that goes along with it. Secondly, this isn't just an album; it is a massive collection of music beyond what is on the CDs that I will continue to put out after the album release. There is an insightful documentary film on the making of this project to be released alongside the launch of the album, as well as a music video for every song. They are all beautiful and uniquely unusual pieces of art.

This "album" is a multi-medium map of my mind and my self. It is personal and honest and I put everything into it. I have stayed on the path of being a completely independent musician and with the help of every supporter and friend, we have transformed a simple idea into a movement, a cultural beacon of light. If you can, I encourage you to purchase a digital or physical copy of A Color Map of the Sun. If not simply support by sharing the music and sharing the idea. If there is any success to be had from this album, it will go back into my rule bending, never ending quest to channel beauty and taste through music and art.

Either way, I made this music for everyone. Support this release and let's show the world how we do. The time is now. - Derek Vincent Smith
