Expand Records proudly presents it's 17th release which is brand new single 'Broken' by our brightest artist Quadrat Beat and is backed with massive remix by another Latvian emerging talent Shockillaz.
We're pretty sure, that most of you were missing new stuff by Quadrat Beat for a few last months, but we assure you it's worth to wait. 'Broken' is fine example of what we call BIG Breaks tune. Kicking in with tight beats, glitched vocals and haunting synth-lines it blows your mind from the very first seconds. But when it comes to the breakdown which is full of uplifting vibes and is flavored with soulful female vocals you will lose your breath. Absolute peak-time banger which is bound to do the damage! 
Shockillaz' remix keeps most of the original's elements and mood, but takes the whole groove into Techy line. Heavy monstrous bassline cuts perfectly through the tight Tech-Funkish beats and pumps up the speakers with tsunami of unstoppable energy. Make sure you turned up the volume, because this stuff has to be played LOUD.
Release dates: 18th November 2013 – Exclusively @ Beatport / 2nd December 2013 – all other stores.

Cat. Number: EXPAND003

The new release on Expand Records is already ready to hit the masses.
Quadrat Beat, the producer from Latvia, already known to the worldwide audience, became its author. These are two absolutely different tracks, and at first, we bring your attention to ‘Hollywood’. The easy, caressing hearing of the disco breaks in a compartment with a charming vocal is equally good for noisy or even champagne parties. On the flip, the more serious rival under the name of ‘BlackJack’. The rich and bold swinging track with a classical rhythm for breaks and a penetrating bass, it becomes an unequivocal trump card for your DJ box.

Quadrat Beat - BlackJack (Original Mix)

This Summer's first release on Expand Records is presented with an excellent selection of four remixes
for earlier released tracks by Quadrat Beat - "Blackjack" and "Hollywood".

Firstly we would like to draw your attention to two remixes for "Blackjack" from Blazer and Shockillaz.
Both of them are very energetic and melodious. Blazer created a nice, clear and quite hard tech-funk rhythm, which
will energise everything around you whilst playing it. Shockillaz continues to do classical breaks emulating his
trademark tunes! Good bass line, touch of progressive & good action throughout makes it a superb example
of a quality product.

On the flip, two versions of "Hollywood" from Kid Digital & Seth Vogt have been remixed & the guys have done a great job
creating two beautiful tracks instead. Seth's remix is just in time for summer - bright and sunny. It combines easy listening,
amazing melody & positive emotions.
Kid's part this time is presented as a mid-tempo remix. An absolutely professionally made very powerful track.
Produced with a romantic and disco mood, clear and very pumping beat. It brings fun and love to any party.

easy listening. 
On the flip, is a tune with the name "Good Life". Quadrat Beat has created it to make people dance for sure. 
A nice and clear tech-funk trip, very positive & progressive melody, bits of acid motives, fiery MC vocal and of course

Quadrat Beat - Blink & Wink (Original Mix) [EXPAND RECORDS]

At the end of the 20th Century, two ambassadors for the great mastermind of the universe were sent back from the future to the 1980s.  These agents, K and QB were on a mission to promote and popularize good quality breaks music on a global scale. Their ultimate goal - to improve the human personality in the right direction, leading to new horizons of artistic potential.
At the turn of the 21st Century, Breakbeat music had become a very successful style which combined many trends and their musical elements, yet it still remained an independent genre.  At this time, the pair of agents reached the highlight of their great mission.
They explored different avenues, each starting extremely well and with their circle of followers growing day by day. In 2012, another activist of the breaks movement was invited by agent K to join them and he became agent MD. This trio established the basis for an enhanced way of promoting Breakbeat music...arriving on the scene with "Expand Records". The world of breaks is now celebrating the dawn of a new era!
With such a strong team, they are keen to cooperate with enthusiastic people who can bring new ideas and energy from all around the world of Breakbeat music under the roof of "Expand Records". The next chapter has begun and while the path taken will be difficult, we can expect many good and positive creations.
"Hailing from the future EP" is the 10th release under Expand and is presented by two most successful Latvian producers Kondrashov & Quadrat Beat.
Kondrashov's "Chimerical" is a monster track for the even the most loaded dancefloors.  An incredible and extremely groovy tune with clear tech-funk rhythm, hard beats and tender bass surrounded by a chime acid melody to get you high.  
"Danger Zone" by Quadrat Beat is the next tune presented on this EP. A very attractive intro and an oriental acapella just tease you before you get into the zone. What glorious breaks there is here - warm, pumping and rich. This very well balanced and a full-bodied track will burn up this winter.
The 3rd track on this Jubilee release is collaboration between both producers. The massive beats of "Futuro" are just the beginning - this tune has everything you need, strong and sharp beats, magnificent bass line, filtered male vocal, a perfect melodious drop and perhaps the most important thing off all...positive spirit!
