"Every facet, every department of your mind is to be programmed by you. And unless you assume your rightful responsibility, and begin to program your own mind, the world will program it for you."

Quality breaks Thorpey! Just what I've been missing.

Loving this mix like a fat kid loves cake!

Big ups Jaguar Skills for not showing up for his set!

We really did love it! Thanks Steve....and hey! Hope to see you soon :-)

King Of The Beats !
This the brainchild of Aston from the Freestylers, Martin Krafty Kuts and Lee from Plump DJS.
Years of djing, working on music and generally being good friends they decided to combine forces and came up with their new act  "King Of The Beats"
The concept being all 3 of them have various styles, skill sets and such an eclectic taste that it would be a kaleidoscopic entity of good music and fun times.
As you will hear in this brand new DJ mix they’ve captured that vibe and whether you’re at home, in your car, kitchen or at the gym, it will leave you with a big smile on your face and craving for more.

King Of The Beats is starting a new night at the Arches in Brighton.  A new club called Water Bear & catch us at various clubs & Festivals around the world in the coming months !

Throwback to 2004 and the legendary ‘Fuzzy Breaks’ parties in Sydney! To be honest I thought the guys were crazy for trying to take breaks to a bigger stage like the Metro in Sydney. But those parties blew up and before long the guys had expanded to the Hordern Pavillion which was wild! I’ll be honest, I don’t actually remember this party (Fuzzy Winter Breaks 2004 at the Hordern Pavillion) ha ha but thankfully I have an extremely rare live recording of my set from this party which you can peep right here! I was quite fond of the flanger back then as you will see! Ha ha! Enjoy! RIP MC Conrad X

Big love to @oldbreaksmixes for the set!

All I Want - MIXTAPE 2024

I had the absolute pleasure of opening the almighty Ring Stage this year at Beatherder! This set is a journey from Breaks and all things bass building to Drum & Bass! It was a pleasure to play some of the records I love and loved digging through my crates for this one!

Also during Crazy, there was a small problem with the CDJ pressing the play button itself so we did a super quick change out of it!

I was really ill going into this one so my mixing isnt always 100% where I wanted it but I wanted to give you the Live set not a re-record! I hope you enjoy! x

Stanton Warriors - Stanton Sessions Vol.1 (2001)

Here is a brand new mix featuring loads of tunes i have been playing over the Summer at various festivals and parties. The highlights were the awesome Beatherder Festival and the absolutely brilliant Moovin festival where i was lucky enough to play two sets. This mix resembles my set at Moovin on the Sunday where i played for 2 hours. 1 hour extra than planned as Jaguar Skills was on after me never played. His loss. my gain. The crowd loved it!!

Madame Electrifie - Live At Beatherder 2019

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!
