It’s been a minute since I last served up a batch of raw breakbeats, but the energy at this year’s IBE event in Holland lit that fire again. A Side Breaks Vol. 2 is a tribute to the global dance community — a selection of B-boy and B-girl–friendly breaks, crafted for cyphers, sessions, battles, and anyone who lives for that moment when the beat drops and your body just moves.
For those who don’t know: B-boy/B-girl breaks are the foundation of breakin’ culture. They’re the drum-heavy, groove-driven sections of funk, soul, and rare groove records that DJs isolate, loop, and extend to create that high-energy pocket dancers feed off. These breaks drive footwork, freezes, power moves, and flow — they’re the heartbeat of the dance.

With Vol. 2, I dug back into some older nuggets, revisiting sounds that shaped generations of breakers. And trust, there’s much more on the way — deeper cuts, fresh flips, and more gems for the floor.

Let’s get back to the essence.

I actually did this edit a few years ago for one of my online mixes and George Kelly has kindly given me  the green light to release it in connection with Chopshop Records 10th Birthday Celebration over the weekend.

Lots of freebies being released this weekend so keep your eyes peeled for the Chopshop Thumbnail pasted over Soundcloud and be sure to take a listen and see what funky offerings are available.

Chopshop Music celebrates a decade of music ! It was in 2009 when George Kelly AKA DJ Butcher released on vinyl 'Chopshop Music Volume 1' and set for a journey that this year reaches the milestone of 10 years. To celebrate, Chopshop gathered some of the finest artists to release a totally free compilation through soundcloud as a token of appreciation to all the fans and supporters of the label. Downloads can be found individually on each artist soundcloud page and later in full through a link via the Chopshop page. Artists Including Cordycep, DJ XS, Ronny Hammond, Dave Gerrard, S.Nolla, HP Vince, Vaudafunk, Tom Drummond, DJ Agent 86 and of course George Kelly.  Here is to Chopshop Music!
