Gimme A Break is very excited to announce that Oldboy’s ‘The Box’ EP will be coming to a streaming service near you on April 2nd. Whack the Pre-Order button to unlock the EP’s feisty title-track. Following his debut release on Noire State, Oldboy delivers three expertly crafted UKG numbers founded on crispy two-step rhythms and squelching basslines. ‘The Box’ showcases Oldboy’s playful sampling which he has become renowned for through a range of edits and while ‘Strict Service’ offers a more laidback groover, ‘Mantis’ supplies a rough and ready crunch to round off the EP. Big up to Oldboy himself for conjuring up this nostalgic artwork and animation.

Breaks n Bobs 011 w/ Oldboy + Groovy D

Needles at the ready, as the Dr prepares to inject us with shot number -31 of the ec2a Dubplate Collection, this one being a certified cure for those dancefloor withdrawals as we witness the walls of our clubs heating up once again. 

After a year's stint of delivering an array of bass-heavy flavours during difficult times, ec2a continues to push boundaries in the scene and is quick to provide yet another release that is aptly ready for the dance. The Dr has been sure to pick up the pace, and rightly so, as this selection takes us back to what can only be described as that ‘90’s jungle mania’ - when the rave was first popping off. 

Who better to be behind the buttons than Bristol-based powerhouse Roy Bar, having had well-received releases on labels such as CNCPT and Locus Sound and whose audacious productions have recently become a testament to the city's underground scene. After teasing us with a free download ‘The Right Way’, Roy Bar kicks off with his latest version of ‘Ode’ (A-side), as he brings to us a think-break-filled steady roller that has been brewing in the archives for a hot minute. Yet it remains timeless and now sits alongside ‘Dangerous’ (B-side) which boasts archetypal jungle with a melodic synth twist. 

As we re-enter the rave, this release is essential to the nostalgic notion of electronic bass music. Go cop and make history.

These guys are on fire at the moment and they brought that same energy through for this track for the garage and break lovers.
