My first mix released as part of the Faultline crew, highlighting all the aspects of the breakbeat genre that I love - from piano stabs and funky synths to bumpin' baselines and heavy bass, the broken beats have it all. Turn it up and enjoy! And be sure to come dance with us for Faultline's quarterly parties at Underground SF.

Today we take a look back to the early 2000's when Breaks were Nu again and the sound shifted from the "Florida" sound to the "UK" sound.  Faultline's good friend Handsome Dodger lays down an hour mix of all vinyl Old School Nu Skool Breaks.

Agent 137’s Faultline Session 007 is an homage to the one known as the pimp of action and pleasure, 007 James Bond. This mission by 137 is not any different- her mix is salacious in nature with a driving, sexy, strong build that reaches an unmistakable climax (entwined with double agent deviousness). These are baby makin’ beats, take precautions.

I’m honored to have been asked to submit an exclusive set for Faultline, the only Bay Area crew still earnestly holding down the breakbeat vibe. I’ve been playing breaks since the late 90’s and I strove to incorporate a wide spectrum of Swampy breakbeat from downtempo, through cross-genre House flavors with modern Bay Area bass vibes, through late 00’s energy, ending on my 90’s DJ origins in progressive breakbeat. This is one of my favorite cohesive mixes I’ve done; I hit all my targets and think the vibe is just delicious, hella Deep, and a bit moody for winter vibes. I open slow and moody while the last five songs all have relationship vocals to my current struggles and bear relevant soul; while the middle drops fav jams from all eras. And y’know, you can dance sexy to it all too. I hope you take time to listen well and enjoy! - Dao
