Break it

Breakbeat

new breaks mixes

After deciding a few years ago to pull back from playing live shows, I've been on my own personal journey with music. Going deep into musical theory, learning to play an instrument properly and expanding my music collection to a size that massively out weights anything I had while I was Djing as my regular gig. Sourcing and experimenting with all music styles and trying to figure out a way to get them to work together musically has reignited my love of music and Djing and got me back to the roots of why I started to do it in the first place.

Chasing a music career is a double-edged sword. On one side, it gives so much and — on the other — weighs you down. As people tend to follow and love what you do, it can start to hamper you musically as the weight of expectation starts to mess with your head. Taking some time off has allowed me to focus on myself again, play music because I love it and not let anything else get in the way.

This mix is an embodiment of that process, and one that I thoroughly enjoyed doing. 

Hopefully, you can enjoy the journey as well.

King Of The Beats !
This the brainchild of Aston from the Freestylers, Martin Krafty Kuts and Lee from Plump DJS.
Years of djing, working on music and generally being good friends they decided to combine forces and came up with their new act  "King Of The Beats"
The concept being all 3 of them have various styles, skill sets and such an eclectic taste that it would be a kaleidoscopic entity of good music and fun times.
As you will hear in this brand new DJ mix they’ve captured that vibe and whether you’re at home, in your car, kitchen or at the gym, it will leave you with a big smile on your face and craving for more.

King Of The Beats is starting a new night at the Arches in Brighton.  A new club called Water Bear & catch us at various clubs & Festivals around the world in the coming months !

King Of The Beats DJ Mix

Leapin' lepus! Here's my set from that bunny jam out in the jungle. My timeslot happened to follow the most intense downpour of the weekend, so I let the rain wash away all of my previous plans and pulled out the carrot-tinged special sauce to get folks out of their rabbit holes and onto the dancefloor. 

A lot of classics in here that I've been wanting to play for this crowd to see if they resonated, and the consensus was "YES!" :D Grimy house and booty breaks - two great tastes that everybunny could agree on. Enjoy!

Hop To It!

Hello Friends! On this week’s RIPEcast we have our very own Rumblemunk with his epic set of heavy beats and bass from Breakfast of Champions x It’s A New Day 2023. Here’s some word from Rumblemunk about the mix: 

“Upon listening to the recording of my set, I learned that I had skipped AN ENTIRE TRACK. Since all tracks are critical to a set, I had to re-record. Here is the best version of what I intended on that beautiful clear evening with you all. It’s a busload of the best breakbeats I found in 2022, plus 5 (!) original productions from years past.”
