LOWCO Exclusive RIPEcast Mix

A section of an early morning set we played at 'Loveburn' a regional Burningman party on an island off Miami. Played an entirely different type of set which fitted the early morning beach vibes of a special celebration of art, love and fire!

Plump DJs vs Stanton Warrios - Breakspoll Awards - 25-02-2005

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.

Featurecast - Summer Mix 2007

Well where do i start ? Commonly known as “The Godfather of Breaks” Rennie Pilgrem’s contribution to the early Nuskool Breaks scene is outstanding and given this title is often considered responsible for the creation of the Nuskool Breaks genre. Before moving into 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. TCR records was a major force in the Nuskool Breaks scene. Now concentrating more on his talented art skills Rennie has stepped back from the dance scene and continues to produce some great works of art.

This mix from 2007 on Australia's Triple J Mixup was personally downloaded and edit by me.

Lanx and Nick Slater, aka the Drumattic Twins, have been a leading force in dance music since they first began touring over 20 years ago. Making their name as Shades of Rhythm, they ruled the early nineties rave scene with legendary anthems ‘Sweet Sensation’, ‘Sound of Eden’, ‘Extacy’ and ‘Homicide’ and performed with the likes of The Prodigy and N-Joi.

Since rebranding themselves as the Drumattic Twins in 1997, Nick and Lanx quickly replicated this global notoriety thanks to massive hit tracks ‘Feelin Kinda Strange’ ‘Twister’ and ‘HyperSpeed’. They teamed up with the legendary release platform Finger Lickin Records in 1999 and settled quickly into the close-knit world of the breakbeat scene, working alongside global acts such as Plump DJs, Soul of Man and Lee Coombs.

From a string of releases from 1999 starting with top the selling "Feeling Kinda Strange" till late 2013 with their "Get Up and Dance EP" on Sugarbeat Records and 2 full length albums in between the Drumattic Twins have laid down a variety of music that have influenced the Breaks Scene and shaped it in to what it is today.

This mix was an exclusive promo for Mighty Breaks, a club in San Francisco that promoted Breaks at that time.

Diverted were Stephen Baxter and Lee Richardson between them they were responsible for a number of releases across labels such as TCR, Solokov Sounds and Ali B’s Air Recordings label which has gained them huge support amongst scene leaders at that time. They also started out their own label Diverted Traffic which lead to the rise of local talents such as Mr No Hands, Tom Tonic and Dekoy. They have their own unique sound and production techniques which can be heard in this promo mix from 2007.

I found this mix from Jay Cunning on an old CD i had laying around for enternity. This mix is from around 2002 the heyday and rise of the Nuskool Breaks genre, it really is a classic mix from Jay containing some great old tunes. Jay himself has been around for ages and is well known for promoting the sound of Breaks over the past decade and more. He is a former DJ at London's KISS FM where he had his own Breakbeat Show (KISS 100FM Breakbeat Show) and has also toured parts of the world bringing the sound of Breakbeat to various parties and festivals. He runs the Sub Slayers label and is a partner with Terry Hooligan in On The Rise Promotions an agency promoting the sounds of now while also running its own DJ Academy helping aspiring DJs to be the best they can.
