Hi peeps, here's my 80's Breaks mix that the guys at House Music Collective kindly asked me to do. This is my selection of early Breaks, Uptempo Hip Hop, Electro and Hip House. There's a fine line between a lot of these genre's & this is my interpretation of what I call early Breaks influences. Some of the edits are more recent than the originals, but I used them as the quality was much better and they were quite true to the original recordings. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did making it, it really took me back to my B-boy faze before I got into Electro, then House.

Bobby & The Xennial's Movie Matinee Mixtape 1985

In 1990 i was 18 years old and found myself in the Rave and Nightclub scene here in Perth, Western Australia. I grew up with the music in this mix so it was trip down memory lane to put this one together. This mix though is a little different than my usual mixes, I used an AI stem separator for each track, so each track in this mix is a remix/edit in itself. 30 tracks all up and mixed in key, hope you enjoy the musical journey and the music brings you back some great memories ! x :)
