Ctrl Z were a UK duo with Tommy Dash and Nicky ‘Inch’ D’Silva as it's members. Well known in the early days of Nu Skool Breaks of producing high tempo hardcore tear out breakbeat they had over 50 releases on well respected labels of the time such as Against the Grain, Lot49, Botchit & Scarper, Passenger, Functional, Rat Records and Hardcore Beats. 

This mix from Australia's Triple J Radio from 2007 was personally ripped/downloaded by me and is a great memory of what Ctrl Z was up too music wise at that time.

Ctrl Z - Triple J Mixup - 29.9.2007

I created this page for the posting of older Breaks DJ mixes. It is not intended to infringe anybody's copyright as an artist or owner of the mixes, just a place to share some of the best and rarest Breakbeat DJ Mixes from yesteryear.

I am a biochemist by profession and an avid fan of electronic music. I do not stick to any particular style though. Why? Because all genres are to be experimented with, just like in my lab.  Most of my original works are fusion of genres, although sometimes I create in a :pure: genre spirit out of respect to what historically it is...  So I fuse elements of trap, dubstep, EDM, house, funk, trance, progressive house/trance, minimal techno, acid techno/house, oriental, ethnic, breaks, psytrance/goa, synthwave, disco, trap, even some DnB or future house etc.  I also like Instrumental remakes, or so called classical variations on the theme, leaving some air to vocals. 

I attended the choir, I can read notes slo-o-o-wly and sing, but I create the music purely based on my own hearing and intuition what I like and what not. I learn on a go just like in a lab, as they say. I create or remix the music for personal entertainment and as the means of relaxation, but if someone else here happens to like it - thanks, I appreciate you dropping by, giving me some thumbs up and then continuing having a nice day :) I am not social media crazy, and will not be offended if you do not join my tiny fan circle, because my wellbeing and quality of life does not depend on gathering 1M likes or 1M followers. However, sharing positive things and encouragement is important.

There are so many great musicians creating different styles of music that it is hard to name those who made the biggest impact on my musical taste. Back in the days, we, as teenagers, listened to MTV and pirate casette tapes which compared to nowadays sound technology was awfully bad way to enjoy pop, early rock'n'roll and disco, and yet we did it. I remember being impressed by composers Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, then groups such as SNAP, Technotronic and then 2 Unlimited. But it was, in fact, DJ Tiesto, DJ Darude and Voodoo & Serano that made electronica started to get under my skin during the European trance and rave music movement in late 90's. 

Besides famous DJs like Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Darude, David Guetta, Boris Brejcha, I adore the exclusive remixes and works of Damien Heck, D-Formation, Jean Elan, Mike Koglin, Oscar G,  Kenneth Thomas and Ronski Speed. Out of R'n'B/hip-hop artists, I love Sean Paul, Pitbull, Flo-Rida, MadCon and Timbaland. I must admit I am stuck in the millennia period and not following the trendy s... the kids are listening to these days as much as I should, but I catch some famous pop songs here and there.

If you would like to use my original mixes anywhere, please let me know.
