“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!

Breakbeat United Vol. 18

Bass Down Mask Up - BBU 18

Been kicking the idea of doing a interpolation remix of Rank 1 "Airwave" for a while now.  Decided to go for it and put my own spin on it.  Took the vocal from the 1990 freestyle record "True Love Never Dies".  Old School vibes for sure!  Enjoy :-)

LIVE at FnF Fall Classic 2024

The Disco Boy Mix

Warming up the dance floor on the opening night of a legendary Tropical Campout meant that I had to reach deep into the repertoire and build up the energy from a few people bouncing to a full dance floor frenzy. The weekend featured the likes of house & techno greats Oona Dahl and Sunshine Jones as well as 7 different crews joining forces to create a magical experience: Cheeze House Rekords, CUE Together, Love, Soul & House, Terrakroma, and of course Tropical.
