From over 20 years ago the quality of the is mix still sounds as fresh as today. This mix was aired on the BBC Radio's weekly progamme called The Breezeblock or Breezeblock as it was known. The Breezeblock first premiered back in 1997 and focused mainly on electronic music, the show was hosted by Mary Anne Hobbs and eventually got renamed to Mary Anne Hobbs: BBC Radio 1's Experimental Show in 2006.

This legendary mix from the Plump DJs shows just how ahead of their time they were in the Breaks genre and what made them into the legendary and well known breaks act they are today.

Martin Flex - Live In Severodvinsk, Russia - 27th Sept 2014 "Free Download"

This week in The Armory we're thrilled to have the latest addition to the Stanton Warriors' Punks label, Nixon, on the 1s and 2s. 

Check out Nixon's gorgeous, debut EP on Punks entitled "The Basics of Love" at: 

http://www.beatport.com/release/the-basics-of-love-ep/1420636

Nixon’s been mixing since before he first stood on a snowboard over 20 years ago. Being a pro-rider on the European snowboard scene for over 15 years opened up a huge freesport audience to his mixing talents and he’s been a regular at massive surf & snowboard events for years. 

It comes as no surprise then to this crowd, that Nixon is receiving respective accolades on the London scene for his musical talents. 

A random meeting with Justin Rushmore of FLR whilst snowboarding led to a move to London in 06 and to a new addiction – producing. His 2007 collaborations with D&B golden boy, Shimon, took the scene by surprise, with clubbers loving the heavily influenced D & B breaks - a fresh vibe in an increasingly jaded breaks scene. With three releases under the FLR wing, ‘I Like You’ received rave reviews, receiving regular airplay on both Annie Nightingale BBC and Kiss FM’s Jay Cunnings show. The second release “White Noise” went to No 13 in the DMC Buzz Charts, and ‘Around the Edge’, charged to No 1 in the Beatport Breaks chart.

Whilst Nixon’s background was rooted firmly in thrash and drum & bass, his DJ style today, is a blend of tight break necking beats, topped off with deep gut rumbling bass.

Engineering his own solo tunes, it’s a hard life dividing his time between snowboarding, and his recording in the studio! His strong self-expression of snowboarding is clearly continued onto the decks & is a lifestyle balance most DJs would kill for. The Mixologists, Aquasky, Tayo, Darren Jay, Davide Carbone, MC Chickaboo, Utah Jazz, the list is endless - have graced the decks with Nixon.

Now billed as the UK’s top pro-DJ/music producer and professional snowboarder, from his debut at London's superclubs - Fabric & Ministry of Sound, he’s now a regular on the underground club scene & plays a host of international festivals including the legendary Snowbombing. 

Moving forward, Nixon has stretched out his knowledge of quality music, composing music for UK computer games giant Codemasters and their Dirt 3 & 4 games. Top brands such as CASIO, QUIKSILVER, MONSTER, NIKE, SHARP have endorsed and used Nixon beats & sound design for their Global Marketing Campaigns. This in turn has opened doors to remix works by global sensation Ben Howard & upcoming acts such as A Girl Called Ruth & Ryan Keen. Stepping from clubland to culinary, he also produces music for Jamie Oliver's DJ BBQ and to movies with CGI giants, the Foundry.

Now signed to the world famous renegades of beats & bass, the Stanton Warriors Punks label with his newly released The Basic Of Love Ep includes the tearing remix of LTJ Bukems classic club anthem Atlantis.

Breakspoll the International Breakbeat Awards ended back in 2015, did breaks end in that time ? (I don't think so). These mixes are from the Breakspoll Awards back in 2006 and were sent to me by a like minded person from Spain just recently. These mixes were played on the Annie Nightingale show back in 2006. Many thanks to my Spanish friend for these, lots more to come from his archives over the following months .....

Stanton Warriors - LIVE @ Breakspoll 2006

Commonly known as “The Godfather of Breaks” Rennie Pilgrem’s contribution to the early Nuskool Breaks scene is legendary and given this title is often considered responsible for the creation of the Nuskool Breaks genre. Before moving into the genre  breaks Rennie produced techno and acid house and was part of the influential rave group Rhythm Section along with Ellis Dee. Rennie is also the boss of Thursday Club Recordings aka TCR a label which he founded in 1993 which was a major force in the Nuskool Breaks scene. Rennie now concentrates more on his talented art projects but recently released some new music created during the co-vid lockdown.
