A selection of Breaks in our next EP from a collection of Bristol's talent. 

Stefan Goodchild makes his debut with us on this deep and floaty EP! Producing from 1997 under the aliases Stablizer, Mako Shark and Stefan Goodchild, with releases under his belt on Plastic Raygun, Functional Breaks, Sound Of Habib and many more. He now finds himself focusing on his own imprint 'Triple Greek Recordings', whilst regularly dabbling in the sounds of slow Techno to 140bpm Breaks at Bristol based party 'Minatour Sound'.

On the remix we've got Bristol's emerging talent - Disaffected! They killed it on the last compilation and it's a pleasure to have them join us once more to provide a powerful remix. In this one they covered the styles of Hardcore and Rave in their futuristic style.

WORKS Records is a Bristol based label for dance music at around 160bpm. Founded by the creators of online community Half-time // Slow/fast & club night WORKS; Goldman, DJ Jonco & DJ Lazergun, the label is similarly dedicated to pushing Footwork, Juke, Jungle, Hardcore, & everything in between. The label's goal is to exhibit the varying global sounds of these styles of music, whilst retaining the futurist vision set out by the originators of these genres.

With previous releases from Chicago Footwork legend Traxman and recently Italian modular powerhouse Sickarone, WORKS are really excited to welcome breakbeat bootleg king Polo Lilli to the label. These tracks were originally short 1:30 long wardubs as part of their 2nd online tournament in 2021, and are not only the most played tracks on their Soundcloud, but also his two most sought after dubplates.

His tracks have received support from some of the biggest names in the UK scene, such as Mixtress, Naina & the Daytimers crew to name a few, and his recent bookings supporting Fracture and Kush Jones certainly show the man is one to watch for 2022 and beyond.

For our first release co-founder Guido YZ brings the sounds of his heritage to the UK shores: His tune is riddled with classic Baile funk rhythms that he pairs perfectly with rocking breakbeats. The bassline is a fackin fat rumblin reece that'll break the bottles at the backada club.  If you listen carefully you'll notice many more nods towards different styles; the perfect embodiment of the racket mentality!

No more free downloads! This riddim is available to purchase on Bandcamp.

T2 & Jodie - Heartbroken (Samurai Breaks & J-Wok Bootleg) TDRFREE018

After his sold out "Fight dem Back/Nu Gun" 12" in 2017, Sun People is finally back with a banger of an EP for Through These Eyes.
In the last years he crafted his very unique and distinctive style at 160 bpm, which he now fully expresses on the "Stumble & Grow EP". Successfully he combines the powerful rhythms of Footwork with the deepness of (old school) Jungle and spices everything with a hint of Detroit. There's a thin line between doing the same thing over and over again and having a true signature sound, Sun People is demonstrating the latter perfect with these four tracks.

Sun People - It's Yours [TTE008]

Trax Haven is a footwork/halftime/jungle label run by DJ Jetski (London) and Airpods (Manchester), They were originally a youtube mix series to show there passion for footwork but now they’ve expanded to running events and a fully fledged label with radio support on Radio 1, RInse Fm and Reprezent.
Their upcoming release Council Trax 01 is out on the 1st of May, featuring Polo Lilli, Harka, Rascal, Lucid, Archetype and Samurai Breaks.

We are thrilled to premiere “Dont Ya Know” by Harka, a grimey halftime number fusing UK sounds with US rhythms to create a unique and emotive piece.
The tune is led by a chunky square wave bass and pitched vocals driving you forward till the beefy kick slaps the air out of your chest, setting pace against the snappy 808 snare.
Harka is a relatively new name, but this Yorkshire lad is definitely one to watch in the future, his unique take on footwork and halftime is very melodic, pulling influences from across the board.

The Dreamers Recordings is proud to introduce you to Harka and its first release on The Dreamers “Days Thinkin’ EP”. Harka is a UK based talented producer and dj, he is constantly exploring 160 to 170bpm music with a clear reference to the footwork, old school jungle and ravey spectrum of sounds. These 4 tracks perfectly describe its musical research and show its great capabilities in programming and producing.
“Body Talkin’ ” opens the EP with an excellent mixture of footwork drums and ravey sounds combined with heavy basses and culminating into an addictive rhythm.
“Days Thinkin’ “ gives the name to the EP is a more relaxed tune, that makes a clever use of jazz samples, combined with a drum pattern evolving along the track. This tune fits perfectly in the Dreamers catalogue with chill footwork jungle sounds. 
“45” goes straight to the dancefloor with an aggressive rhythm based on heavy kicks that will make everybody jump, the track finally evolves into an interesting halfstep section that is enriched with ragga vocals.
“Haste” makes clever use of iconic drum machine claps and other samples combined with a synth melody to build an addictive and intriguing atmosphere that evolves into a strings chord progressions in its second part.
