“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!

It's been over a year that you have waited for another BBU entry. Well the wait is over. BBU 19 marks the end of an ERA! This tight hour of bangers was recorded as my last 'east coast' preformance.

Enjoy this new chapter in my signature breakbeat series as it continues its grooves for an all new coast!.

Breakbeat United 19

Breakbeat United 19 - Exit Stage Funk!!

My Liquid sound has started to take on a life of its own, with a growing fan base to match!. Liquid offers such a variety of blending and live remixing possibilities which really appeals to my artistic side. And lets be honest .. IT MELTS FACES!! LOL ..I honestly was planning on having volume ten be a breakbeat mix but this sound has me in its grip and with the preparation I had to do for live liquid set at Foundation it seemed silly to delay sharing!!

Breakbeat United Vol. 10 - Something Liquid This Way Comes

Here is my set list performed live in San Diego on 7.15.23. It was truly a magical experience down by the water in a beautiful park underneath the Palm Trees. Featuring 24 tracks of Breakbeat harmonically mixed to bring out the best of those SoCal summer vibes. Breakbeat United's 20th volume marks my first mix release since moving west. Hopefully all of you BBU lovers find joy in the beats. 

Breakbeat United 20 - Where the Wild Beats Break!!

Break out your wide legs and get ready to bop. House Injection 2 is finally here, featuring old school & new school 4 on the floor worthy of the most ravey setting.

House Injection 2 - Long Beach Boom

This is the first breakbeat installment in the series in almost a year. Knowing I have to come correct I put together a 32 track onslaught of awesome for all you beat junkies!  My only hope is that those fans of the series that have been itching for another "breaks" mix are satisfied.

Break Time Bangers

My soundcloud account began in 2012 with my Breakbeat United mixes and until now only featured sets that were recorded since its creation. This new monthly series will feature classic Dj Nysus sounds that have never been on soundcloud! I wanted to Kick off my new monthly series #NBR #TBT "Never Been Released Throwback Thurs" with a bang and the choice was obvious. Back in 2007 I made what is arguably one my most popular CD releases ever. One night in Philly at one of the now infamous and almost forgotten "Gods Basement" parties I dropped around 1,500 copies of 'Sexytime' , it was my first time in playing in Philly and the fans snagged every copy I had. To this day people will name drop this mix as the one that got them hooked on my sound and yet it has never been on my soundcloud. I have now been a Philly resident and musician for almost 9 years now and the tide the drew me here is forever linked to the sounds in the mix.

#NBR #TBT Vol 1

It has been years since I have released an official Breakbeat United set and even longer since it was a funk mix, so this one had to be something special. From the song selection to the original cover art I poured myself into this project with all my heart. I just hope it comes across that way and that you all enjoy it!

BadAss Festival Sets

Live @ festival (An Epic & Uplifting DnB Experience)

Hold on to your seats kids cause this one is gonna make that ass wanna move! The Breakbeat United mix series has come to define my musical journey since late 2011. So I wanted the 6th installment of my signature compilation to somehow take it up a notch. I wanted to push myself both through style and technique. The goal being to drop more tracks in one cd mix  then I ever have before while still giving you the listener a smooth satisfying breakbeat experience. This mix features 34 tunes with no acapella or loops to boost my track count. This equates to just over 2 mins a song. With a pace this aggressive the trick is making it still flow like a normal mix.  I leave it to you the fans of my mix series to be the judge of whether that goal was reached!
