BREAK DANCE

a straight up banger that could have come out in the golden age indie era of the mid 90’s. Kaza gives us stabs of horns, keys and guitars and Paw-Dukes gets all braggadocious on us 

Kazahaya feat Paw Duke - Checkmate

Anyone over the age of 30 in the UK will instantly recognise the childrens TV tune that's been given full on Getup treatment!  'Bungle's Twanger' really captures the essence of the band's roots... a full-on in-your-face stampede of Hammond, bass, drums, guitar and clav that is just short enough to sit perfectly in the sweet spot of the 7", but long enough to raise your adrenalin levels and make you want to immediately take it for a second spin! (if you’re under 30, get on youtube!)

The Getup - Bungles Twanger

As soon as that guitar kicks in on the A side we know we're on The Getup's high energy home turf and, sure enough, what follows is a three and half minute 100mph horn laden ride thru Hammond Funk Mayhem. Sabina’s vocals take the track into that female funk territory that keeps all the girls on the dancefloor.

The Getup - Back To Me

This is a nod to early 80’s hip hop cut n paste production,  a dirtier mix for the funk heads. Stephen Fleg aka DJ Fleg is a DJ, Bboy and producer from Maryland, U.S.A. His constant digging for new sounds in every genre allow Fleg’s style to incorporate old classics, new productions, jazz, funk, rock and soul all into one cohesive DJ stew.

K. Sabroso - Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Funky (Fleg Remix)

This is a masterful piece of b-boy magic. Arranged and produced like a funk track from the 70’s, this is not your straight looped beats for the average b-boy. This builds and grooves in a way that only a dancer would know about. K. Sabroso began his musical journey on the dance floor, studying the science of beats and breaks while earning his stripes as a b-boy. In 2009 Sandoval decided to focus his attention on music, both as a DJ and producer. With musical influences across the board, he has explored countless genres including Dancehall, Latin Alternative, Downtempo, Trip-Hop, House, Glitch, Jungle, Trap, and Jazz... but he never wanders far from the breakbeats that fuel him as both a dancer and frequent Dj of breaking battles.
