Tangled Breaks Classics Set - Beatherder 2014

From the vaults!! I completely forgot about this and thought that i had lost the recording. So glad i found this mix as i feel it is one of my best from the early Phoenix years as it takes you on a journey through breaks when the whole scene was just about to explode and was one of my mixes first recorded on CD back in 1999 and recorded on basic equipment, hence some distortion. This mix includes some heavyweight bangers that rocked the breaks room every week at the Phoenix, Manchester when it was the residents who ruled the roost!

ELEKTRODOS 7th Sept 15 DJ Set Lifeless Tissue

These mixes have been unearthed from the dusty vaults of Tangled. They have not been seen or played for over 15 years. No tracklist available, just music and memories from the Phoenix club, home to the legendary Tangled from 1997 - 2006. Here is the first in a series of mixes from residents Terry Pointon and Phil Morse.

Terry Pointon - Tangled: downstairs at the Phoenix - 26/06/1999

Here is a mix from 2002 by Terry Pointon, resident at Manchesters legendary clubnight. This was recorded at the peak of Tangled, when the Phoenix club was packed out every Saturday night with 700 sweaty, smiley ravers. The Phoenix club is sadly now demolished but the Tangled spirit certainly lives on!

Terry Pointon - Tangled 2002

Terry pushed up the BPM on this mix to whip the Tangled clubbers into a frenzy at the Phoenix, Manchester in 2002. Sweaty, smiley, ravers!!

Terry Pointon -  March 2002

Here is a long lost mix of mine I recently found on an old hard drive. Some classic breakbeat tunes from 2009 plus others from previous years thrown in for good measure!! 2009 was a transitional year with the breakbeat sound. A lot of the producers we knew and loved had changed their style and dubstep ruled the roost so there was not as many great breaks tunes around so you really had to dig deep to keep the breaks alive!!

Bring That Beat Back To Basics - 2009

This is a mix of back to back trance classics that had the main room at Tangled, Manchester bouncing from wall to wall every Saturday night at the Phoenix. 

Unknown album (28/07/2016 09:54:00)

Tangled 12th Birthday - Downstairs Classics mix - 2005

This Tangled Birthday mix was given out at the 9th birthday in 2002. The first half represents the music from the main room, house and trance whilst the second half represents the Tangled Breaks room upstairs. The CD it was taken from was very old and dusty, just like the DJs!! haha, so the last two minute are distorted and crackily... just like the clubbers!!

Huge floorfillers from past to present with some classic Tangled Breaks anthems thrown in.... What a great night and such an ace festival!

Stanton Sessions 4 Bonus Beats Mix

Steve Thorpe started mixing tunes at home when he was 18 and first started DJingin Manchesters bars and clubs in 1996. Playing an eclectic mix of broken beats. In 1997, Steve joined Manchester clubnight - Tangled and turned the upstairs chillout room of a house and trance night into the longest running breakbeat night in the UK...if not the world - Tangled Breaks. Running weekly, then twice monthly and then quarterly for over 15 years and then returning 3 times a year until it ended on Tangleds 21st Birthday in 2014. Steve has warmed up and played alongside all the best breaks DJs and producers in the UK. After Tangled stopped regular events in 2008 he started his own night - Carry On which after 14 months then changed into Lowdown and Dirty... which now after 6 was voted the best breaks clubnight in Manchester and the world as it has won the 'best small event' at the Breakspoll International awards for 3 years running and Lowdown won the coveted City Life 'best clubnight in Manchester' award for 2014. Lowdown has now come to an end but Steve has been DJing at various events and festivals around the UK and helping out with other clubnights, continuing producing mixes and live streams. Steve will also be bringing Tangled back one the UK is back to normal after Covid for a special one-off party!
