OMW002 - Samurai Breaks & Arcane - Sunshine Dreaming

The two longtime friends wrote this EP during COVID lockdown when they ended up living on a farm in South Somerset. A slowdown of life gave them time to explore new sounds and more of a ‘home listening’ vibe as opposed to all out club bangers. The 2 producers have combined their visions into a 6 track EP, taking us on a journey through tempo and style.

Samurai Breaks is no stranger to the rave scene, the multifaceted producer has been tearing up dance floors and festivals around the country with his unique style of turbo rave. Samurai Breaks’ vast discography includes releases on Off Me Nut Records, Hoover Sound, Trax Haven, The Dreamers and Hardcore Energy.
Mr. Breaks is also the joint founder of ‘Super Sonic Booty Bangers’ a platform used to push the 160bpm sound he is widely known for.
It's been a magical 2022 for Samurai Breaks, after winning DJ Mags Best Breakthrough Producer in 2021, he has been playing shows and festivals up and down the country every weekend, including stand out b2bs with Fixate / Mandidextrous / Pete Cannon/ Addison Groove / Itoa and Mixtress as well as notable sets at Boomtown, Glastonbury, Beatherder and Balter. Now the final cherry on a successful year comes in the form of OMW002.

The EPs counterpart, Arcane, has also been making waves in the UK underground scene, most notably with their intricate break science and dramatic atmospheres. Since dropping their first EP on Omerta in 2020, Arcane has gone on to release 2 records with Rua Sound, Defrostatica and a Collab EP with Samurai Breaks on Trax Haven. These tracks have picked up support from top names like Sherelle / Addison Groove / DjRum , Om Unit, Jon 1st and more. His first forays into the DJ world have seen him play at Beatherder festival, Bristol and recently his first international booking playing out in Ireland with Rua Sound alongside Sully / Itoa and Sun People.

With previous outings on Counter Intelligence, and Fanu's Lightless Recordings among others, DAK makes a welcome return with four tracks exploring the limits of drum and bass. From the spaced-out percussion of the title track, via high tech jazz fusion sounds all the way to the minimalism of 'Viimeiset Skunkit', DAK brings a highly unique style to the modern day drum & bass masses.

A play on a certain Dillinja track ;) Some live breakbeat action, a share if you like it wouldn't go a miss. :) Read below for more info.

Having fun by assigning different ableton loop start points to the pads. Take note, only the break programming is live, the bass and other samples were sequenced, and it's just a bit of fun. The samplers behind weren't used in this, but there's an idea for another video ;). This one wasn't exactly challenging, but I'm hoping to do some more videos which will gradually get more live, and step some of the beat patterns and edits up some more also. This one is pretty much a remix of Dillinja - Ja Know Ya Big, but with a nod to a few other Jungle tunes also.

I guess the mpc purists may have something to say, but like I say just a bit of fun. And Jungle is completely lost on me if the beats arn't computer tight.
