“BASS DOWN, MASK UP- Breakbeat United Vol.18” is a 2.5hr mix featuring a 65 track journey through 2020 Breaks. This live, one-take recording is something I have been planning and working on since late last year and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you. Packed with more BOOM & BASS than your dancing shoes can ever funk to, this is officially the longest mix in my signature Breakbeat United Series. My inspirado came from how much fun it was doing my 3 hour long “Quarantine Boom” Twitch shows during most of the 2020 pandemic. Those experiences made me realize how much I enjoy longer and deeper sets, but they only featured classic music from my back catalogue. Since all live shows were canceled because of Covid-19, I found myself with no creative outlet for my desire to play “NEW” Breaks released during 2020, so this project was born. “Bass Down. Mask Up” is a combination of that newfound love for the “long set” but with new music and my signature style of aggressive harmonic mixing. With an emphasis on the flow and vibe, this set is sure to delight the senses and please even the most fickle of Breakbeat fans! It’s also guaranteed to make any BBU vet giddy with BASS! Strap in for a ride you will not soon forget!

Finger Lickin Records were the home to many great Breakbeat artists and DJs. Started back in 1998 by Justin Rushmoore and Jem Panufnik (known collectively as Soul of Man) they were at the forefront innovating the breaks scene with new music and artists, selling a pile of vinyl records throughout the year 2000 and onwards.

Soul of Man - Essential Mix - 22.7.2007

The Stanton Warriors have disography about as long as my arm ! Consisting of Dominic Butler and Mark Yardley, the duo have performed internationally at festivals and parties in Europe, America, Asia and Australia. Their name was taken from a manhole cover, made by Stanton Ironworks, which seemed fitting with their style of underground, cutting edge music.

This mix is from the era of Nuskool Breaks and produced for Breezeblock radio show back in 2001.

Stanton Warriors - Breezeblock Mix - 5.3.2001

This week, we are welcoming breaks phenom EVA of Strategik and Fraktured LA. EVA's mixes are journeys of soul while simultaneously, as her SoundCloud name attests, face-melting. Enjoy this mix she crafted exclusively for the RIPEcast! Here's what EVA had to say about the mix:

"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. A person who stood for human rights, for gender equality, for being oneself and living one's best life. I am one of many women who have reaped the rewards of being born into - and currently living within - her epic dynasty. 
Though completed before her death this mix is a direct reflection of the freedom and opportunity I, and countless others, have been afforded under her protection. To say and do what we want, and to be who and what we want. To let our freak flag fly and to live our best life. I hope the joy and pure happiness I felt making this mix effectively expresses exactly that. 
We are still here, we matter, and though we may be distant we are most certainly not alone. I invite you to take a deep breath right now, for you and you alone, and allow yourself these next 70 minutes of personal freedom. Music is the only thing that will always make sense. It is my safe space, my church, my home within.

So in that spirit, and with all the love and space and strength in my heart, 
2020: I fucking dissent."
