Promo & Live 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.

Glen (DiiSTORTiiON).

The Mixtape Vol.3 [April 2021]

DiiSTORTiiON - The Mixtape Vol.3 [April 2021]

“BASS DOWN, MASK UP- Breakbeat United Vol.18” is a 2.5hr mix featuring a 65 track journey through 2020 Breaks. This live, one-take recording is something I have been planning and working on since late last year and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you. Packed with more BOOM & BASS than your dancing shoes can ever funk to, this is officially the longest mix in my signature Breakbeat United Series. My inspirado came from how much fun it was doing my 3 hour long “Quarantine Boom” Twitch shows during most of the 2020 pandemic. Those experiences made me realize how much I enjoy longer and deeper sets, but they only featured classic music from my back catalogue. Since all live shows were canceled because of Covid-19, I found myself with no creative outlet for my desire to play “NEW” Breaks released during 2020, so this project was born. “Bass Down. Mask Up” is a combination of that newfound love for the “long set” but with new music and my signature style of aggressive harmonic mixing. With an emphasis on the flow and vibe, this set is sure to delight the senses and please even the most fickle of Breakbeat fans! It’s also guaranteed to make any BBU vet giddy with BASS! Strap in for a ride you will not soon forget!

King of Beats - DJ Mix - by Plump Djs Freestylers & KraftyKuts

Plump DJs vs Stanton Warrios - Breakspoll Awards - 25-02-2005

After seeing my Classic Breakbeat Vol.1 mix reach over 16000 plays a few months ago, I knew it was time to pull my finger out and do another one. Thanks to everyone for supporting Vol.1—this new mix is for you.

I went back to the drawing board for this one and decided to approach this mix slightly differently than the first mix. Vol.1 was a nod to the smooth mixing style of Kid Kenobi, who 100% got me into breakbeat back in the day. Vol.2 alternatively is a peak time festival-mashup set, designed to take you on a ride from start to finish. As well as getting to include more classic breaks tracks I missed on Vol.1, I made an effort to slot in a lot of festival anthems from the same era of dance music (roughly 2004-2010).

So here it is, well over three months of work collecting lost music, sampling, listening to old mixes and searching for forgotten gold. I'm stoked how it turned out and I hope you will be too.

Enjoy.

DiiSTORTiiON - Classic Breakbeat Vol.2 [June 2022]

So it recently dawned on me that this year marks 10 years since I had my first support gig at Ambar back in 2006 playing before Dopamine – 10 bloody years!!
Since then music has taken me all over Australia and overseas and allowed me to connect with people all over the world that would have never been possible had it not been for our mutual interest in music.
So I think it’s about time I did a mix paying tribute to that awesome time in my life – the gigs/parties/after parties/boat parties and festivals.
Flashing back to 2004 – 2006 I couldn’t get away without paying respect to Kid Kenobi who single handedly got me and most of the people I know into Djing at the time. 
I learnt to mix by listening to his breaks mixes on repeat. 
So this mix is as much a tribute to him as it is to the talented artists included in it.
Enjoy!

DiiSTORTiiON - Classic Breakbeat

Under Suspicion Promo – Mixed By DiiSTORTiiON (May 2010)

Breakbeat/ DnB/ Dub Step/ Electro/ Hip Hop.

This mix pretty much sums up where my head space is at the moment when it comes to music and djing.
I’m really focusing on trying to mold all sounds that I like in a set and not restricting myself to a particular genre or bpm range. Its basically the sound that I will be showcasing every week at Brown Alley’s resident Saturdays ‘Under Suspicion’.
Also included in this mix are a few of my new releases, remixes, bootlegs and mashups. All previews, info and downloadable versions of these tracks can be found on my soundcloud page.
If you like what you’ve heard in this mix and you live in Melbourne, you can come see me play live every Saturday from May 22nd at Brown Alley at the “Under suspicion’ nights, monthly at the ‘Against the grain’ parties, on rotation at ‘Bass Camp’ at lounge and Mixed Messages parties.

Enjoy the mix :)

Under Suspicion Promo - Mixed By DiiSTORTiiON (May 2010)

So after watching my favourite TV series of 2016 – Stranger Things, I was inspired to make a Mixtape style mix of all the beats I’ve been listening to and digging this year.
This mix was a lot of fun to make as I collated all the tracks I wanted to put in it and started to mould them together in an interesting way.
This is definitely a listening journey designed to take you through a mixture of sounds and beats.

Hope you enjoy it and Merry Xmas!!

Another Stanton Warriors LIVE mix i thought i had posted on the Old Breaks Mixes Soundcloud but i hadn't. I had a look around on the net and couldn't find it any where but i did download it 13 years ago and kept a copy on one of my hard drives all this time. This DJ mix is from the Electric Gardens Festival back in August 2007 and compliments the A Skillz mix which you will find on the Old Breaks Mixes Soundcloud too. Enjoy !
