Doe-ran - Bootlegs & B-Sides

Okay, this is a complicated one...
Back in 2006, Plushgrizzly from Aykaism.ch (now defunct) invited Jon H from Fort Knox Five to play a gig in Switzerland. He recorded the whole evening for a later broadcast on our common radiostation bigbeat.ch (now defunct). I'm not sure, we did ever play it, though... Not even sure if it was ever published in any way.
15 years later, I found this gem on my harddrive and played it during two episodes of my radioshow Eclectix, airing every Sunday, 6pm (cet), on evosonic.de.
First, I didn't want to upload it since I didn't know if it's okay with his friends and family over in DC, but after being asked by FK5 to upload it somewhere public, so they can share it with the world, I guess it is okay... ;)

For those not in the know: Jon H was 1/4 of Fort Knox Five, who died 6 years ago way to early in August 2015. He was an inspiration for way more people all around the world, than he could ever think of and I'm one of them. Thank you, Jon, for everything.

Funk The World 71

Dear Breakbeat,
From the first time I encountered your distinctive rhythms and innovative sound, my heart was irrevocably captivated. Your complex, syncopated beats resonated with a part of me that no other genre could reach, sparking a passion that has only grown stronger with time.

Breakbeat, you are the heartbeat of my musical soul. Your origins, rooted in the early hip-hop and funk movements, carry a rich history that speaks of rebellion, creativity, and a relentless drive to push boundaries. The break, that magical moment when the percussion takes center stage, has always been your gift to the world, a gift that has shaped and redefined music across decades.

Your versatility is astounding. Whether it’s the raw, organic breaks of the 70s, the vibrant energy of the 90s rave scene, or the sophisticated, modern drum patterns that continue to evolve today, you have a chameleon-like ability to adapt and thrive. You bring a unique flavour to every track you touch, infusing it with an energy that is both infectious and exhilarating.

I adore how you seamlessly blend with other genres, creating hybrid styles that are innovative and fresh. Your influence on jungle, drum and bass, and even the more mainstream EDM scenes, showcases your incredible range and enduring relevance. Each beat, each sample, is a testament to your ability to transcend boundaries and bring people together on the dance floor.

Listening to you is an experience like no other. Your rhythms are a conversation, a call and response that challenges the listener to engage, to move, to feel. The unpredictability of your beats keeps me on my toes, constantly anticipating the next drop, the next twist. It’s a dance of anticipation and fulfillment, a journey that is as exhilarating as it is satisfying.

Breakbeat, you are not just a genre; you are a movement, a culture, a lifestyle. You represent freedom, expression, and a defiance of the norm. Your beats have been the soundtrack to countless nights of dancing, to moments of introspection, and to the unspoken connection between strangers united by the power of your sound.

Thank you for the countless hours of joy, for the memories etched in your beats, and for the promise of new discoveries in every track. You are a timeless love, a passion that will forever hold a special place in my heart. Here’s to you, Breakbeat, and to the endless rhythms that bind us together.
Love DANK SINATRA

A Love Letter To Breakbeats

My Free Downloads Mix. 

Over the years I’ve given away lots & lots of free tune downloads. I think it’s prob about 100 in total! It dawned on me one day that it would be pretty cool to put together a mix featuring a load of my favourites from over the years. From my first ever freebie, the re-edit of The Prodigy ‘Narayan’ from back in 2008 which was a bit of a killer, dance floor filling, secret weapon in the Break da House days. To the latest, a great new version of the iconic Bruce Hornsby tune ‘The Way It Is’ that I used to listen to on cassette over & over again when I was a little kid back in the 80's. There’s a bunch of other great ones that didn’t make the mix like my whole Ghetto Funk EP from 2013, my NWA ‘Straight Outa Compton’ remix that’s one of my most ever played on Soundcloud & loads from the That’s Not An Edit series that I’ve done 13 freebies for now. 

I tried to include the full spectrum of genres I’ve been making over the years. Starting off funky into nu disco. Then from a bit of mid tempo bass into house & breaks. Even finishing off with my only ever go at dubstep or dugstep. 

So without further a do here’s 24 tunes (just) over 90 mins of my best freebies… ENJOY!

Bootlegs & B-Sides #27

This is my first Bootlegs & B-Sides of 2025 and it's with a heavy heart that I dedicate it to Andrew Cerutti (Fort Knox Recordings), who tragically passed away this week.
Andy was my show's biggest Champion. He was also a musical guru and from the outpouring of grief on social media, he was clearly loved and highly respected in the culture.  I used to chat with him weekly and still can't believable that he is gone.
Rest in Peace, Brother and thanks for everything.
