“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!

When I heard that the Stanton Warriors were going to do a classic breakbeat set I was so excited to dig into my record collection and play some of my favorite tunes from 1995-2005.  This night was amazing on so many levels and I am happy that I was able to record this momentous occasion.  

Pro DJ tip:  It is a faux pas to play the headliners music which is why there were no Stanton Warriors tracks in my mix.

After seeing my Classic Breakbeat Vol.1 mix reach over 16000 plays a few months ago, I knew it was time to pull my finger out and do another one. Thanks to everyone for supporting Vol.1—this new mix is for you.

I went back to the drawing board for this one and decided to approach this mix slightly differently than the first mix. Vol.1 was a nod to the smooth mixing style of Kid Kenobi, who 100% got me into breakbeat back in the day. Vol.2 alternatively is a peak time festival-mashup set, designed to take you on a ride from start to finish. As well as getting to include more classic breaks tracks I missed on Vol.1, I made an effort to slot in a lot of festival anthems from the same era of dance music (roughly 2004-2010).

So here it is, well over three months of work collecting lost music, sampling, listening to old mixes and searching for forgotten gold. I'm stoked how it turned out and I hope you will be too.

Enjoy.

Throwback to 2004 and the legendary ‘Fuzzy Breaks’ parties in Sydney! To be honest I thought the guys were crazy for trying to take breaks to a bigger stage like the Metro in Sydney. But those parties blew up and before long the guys had expanded to the Hordern Pavillion which was wild! I’ll be honest, I don’t actually remember this party (Fuzzy Winter Breaks 2004 at the Hordern Pavillion) ha ha but thankfully I have an extremely rare live recording of my set from this party which you can peep right here! I was quite fond of the flanger back then as you will see! Ha ha! Enjoy! RIP MC Conrad X

Big love to @oldbreaksmixes for the set!
