On remix duties we have Be&See, long time breakbeat DJ and producer from Switzerland. He has done remixes for several national bands and has had his first international breaks release on Ian Davy's Battle EP last year. Besides a busy DJ-schedule he works his arse off in the studio, currently writing a soundtrack for a Snowboard-Film. This mix shows why he is heralded as one of Switzerlands best breakbeat talents: He delivers a twisted, floorfilling breaks mix with tight edits, lots of changes, a bit acid here and there and uses the vocal to great effect. This mix has enjoyed the support from Phantom Beats, Stabilizer, Loes Lee and Scissorkicks (who included it for his Live project mix album on Canadian label 2Wars & a revolution).

Downpressors debut release has already caused quite a stir with CDRs floating around and DJ-chart appearances throughout the world. His track is a dark peaktime breaks cut perfect for lifting the roof off a club. Downpressor rolls out a tight drum groove, adds a round bass sound which is later joined by rave stabs and choirs. After the atmospheric breakdown it builds and builds causing mayhem on the floor! This has been road tested in Switzerland, Germany and has enjoyed early support from Glen "Future Funk Squad", as well as Loes Lee who loved the track muchly.

On the flip we have sHack from Elite Force providing a deep percussive 4 to the floor remix. It starts off breaky before turning into a stomping groove joined by various percussive elements, clever placed parts from the original and a speaker devastating sub bass. And just when you think it's over it is back again much to the joy of your floor. A fine remix that rounds off this 12 with overwhelming crowd reactions on both sides of the Atlantic…

Muddyloop is a producer trio from London and this is one of their earlier, more dancy works. The Boomspot has fallen in the hands of Bengston and travelled around with him and his record box. A twisted house groover that has more than a few breaks influences.

Flip to the B-Side for the Bengston remix that rolls off in a nice percussive way staying close to the original but taking it all breaks. Rather proggy and rather druggy. This track is made for big systems, you better test and witness! And when you think it’s over…it kicks in again!

Kevin aka Fine Cut Bodies from Hungary turns in a wonderfully crafted remix that has already enjoyed a lot of praise. Beautyfully layered drums and snippets from the original melt into a dubby soundscape that makes it clear why their Chi Label has enjoyed so much support over the last couple of months! You can tell how much time went into this one and its defo a nice interpretation of the Boomspot!

This track is the debut Vinyl outing for Smash FX and what a corker it is ! German “Erkrankung Durch Musique Records” released the original version by Vostok and this unreleased breakbeat remix has been specially made for this EP. The track will have house and breaks heads scream for more!

Hot on the heels of his Remix of “The Meal” he turns the funk knob to eleven and has a laugh while everybody is getting darker and nastier! Punchy beats are joined by a quirky bass and a funky lead synth before he brings in the bells! The Cowbells…..! Different and working very well on the floor too.

With his debut release on Ritmic a few months ago he has set the marks high. This second vinyl outing for Downpressor sees him in a more relaxed and dubby mood. Already getting support from SOTO and Future Funk Squad (who have just finished the remix of this very tune!!), Phantom Beats and more..

Tek Jam and Inzekt, two long time techno producers and DJs from Switzerland unleash a stunning Lo Fi-Electro track with vocals from Ursula Rucker. Ursula Rucker has just released her Debut Album on K7 and has worked with people like 4Hero, King Britt or The Roots. We were allowed to use the vocals and the result is a very individual hybrid of breaks and electro. Does Tek Jam & Inzekt ring a bell? Well their track “Premiere” was licensed to the first Bedrock Breaks comp mixed by Hyper last year…
