I was that excited about the quality of this year's Breakfest lineup, I decided to put a little mix together featuring (most of) the international artists on the bill's tunes, and here it is!

Admittedly, there is no Hedflux and only an acapella from Meat Katie on here, they're both all about the groove and the progression and I felt just jamming one of their tunes into this mix didn't really do them justice!

That said, Hedflux is a good friend and has been a massive inspiration over the years! He has continually been at the cutting edge of production and it's techniques. Forging his own style, which many others have tried to replicate, yet don't quite seem to! Possibly also one of the nicest, most down to earth people I've ever met too! Testament to this, he has actually offered his latest EP for whatever you choose to pay, you can even grab it for free if you're stingy. At least throw him a couple of bucks though. I highly recommend you check it out here ---> http://hedflux.bandcamp.com/

As far as Meat Katie goes, let's face it. He's been a long time stalwart of the Breakbeat/Tech Funk scene worldwide, and no stranger to Perth. Actually, I'd say he's quite a favourite here! If you've been sleeping under a rock for the last decade or two and are unfamiliar with his formidable body of work, you can check it out here. https://soundcloud.com/meat-katie (I also recommend his "Lowering The Tone" podcast series, one of which features Perth's own, Micah Black! )

So, onto the mix...!  It's basically a progression of nu/ghetto funk, right through to the pumping breakbeat that's going to destroy the Amphitheatre (in the best possible way).

Starting with a cheeky Janette Slack intro (which is actually released on her label Slack Trax, and couple of the dons of funky breaks, Stickybuds and Featurecast. Both of which have a stack of tunes you can also grab for free at
https://soundcloud.com/stickybuds/sets/free-downloads
and 
https://soundcloud.com/featurecast/sets/free-music
respectively.

Iconic Aussie producer Nick Thayer is next up with "Worlds Collide" on the legendary imprint, OWSLA, owned and run by none other than Skrillex. Heavy!

Then we have a tune from breakbeat royalty, Deekline onto which I've dropped the acapella of his "Hold Your Head Up High" feat Gala Orsborn. The original tune this was taken from was dropped by Lady Waks last year to devastating effect, amongst what many regarded as the standout set of the day/night.

Mafia Kiss is represented next with his remix of the aforementioned Deekline, alongside Hardy Hard with "Can't Hide It"

Legends of the breakbeat scene worldwide, and regular visitors to Perth - Stanton Warriors are next up, with one of the big tunes of recent months/2013 featuring Them & Us, "Cut Me Up"

And then there is the Plump DJs! Rocking Belvoir with a "Retro Breaks set" this year which I've gotta say I'm pretty stoked about! With such an impressive back catalogue, I found it hard to pick what tune to feature in this mix. Ask any breakbeat dj what made them get into breakbeat and 9 times out of 10, "The Plumps" will get a mention! I've chosen "The Rub Off" but the arsenal of seminal and influential tunes these guys have at their disposal is nothing short of jaw dropping. If you're unfamiliar, your life may be changed forever as mine was at Ambar in the early 2000's.

More Janette Slack up next, this time alongside Kickflip and Javone Prince with "You Can't Stop This". Her talents upon the decks are undeniable, and her stage presence is magnetic, a born performer. In all honesty, predicting how her set is going to go down (other than a treat) is tough. To get a rough idea, you could peek her recent mix here https://soundcloud.com/janetteslack/janetteslack-oct-tg

More Mafia Kiss, another CLASSIC Stanton Warriors tune, with a bunch of my own edits thrown in at the end for good measure. 

DnB heads, sorry. No LTJ Bukem or Dom & Roland on this mix either. Breaks is what I do, I didn't feel the need to just chuck a couple of their tunes on the end of this mix, I'm sure you know what to expect though. Both significant figures in their own right and sure to bring some heat (as if Belvoir won't be toasty enough).

Anyway, hope you all enjoy the mix. Please feel free to download, comment and share around!

If you actually made to the end of the write up, high fives and fist bumps on the day are definitely in order. Respect!

Breakfest Mix 2013

Dear Breakbeat,
From the first time I encountered your distinctive rhythms and innovative sound, my heart was irrevocably captivated. Your complex, syncopated beats resonated with a part of me that no other genre could reach, sparking a passion that has only grown stronger with time.

Breakbeat, you are the heartbeat of my musical soul. Your origins, rooted in the early hip-hop and funk movements, carry a rich history that speaks of rebellion, creativity, and a relentless drive to push boundaries. The break, that magical moment when the percussion takes center stage, has always been your gift to the world, a gift that has shaped and redefined music across decades.

Your versatility is astounding. Whether it’s the raw, organic breaks of the 70s, the vibrant energy of the 90s rave scene, or the sophisticated, modern drum patterns that continue to evolve today, you have a chameleon-like ability to adapt and thrive. You bring a unique flavour to every track you touch, infusing it with an energy that is both infectious and exhilarating.

I adore how you seamlessly blend with other genres, creating hybrid styles that are innovative and fresh. Your influence on jungle, drum and bass, and even the more mainstream EDM scenes, showcases your incredible range and enduring relevance. Each beat, each sample, is a testament to your ability to transcend boundaries and bring people together on the dance floor.

Listening to you is an experience like no other. Your rhythms are a conversation, a call and response that challenges the listener to engage, to move, to feel. The unpredictability of your beats keeps me on my toes, constantly anticipating the next drop, the next twist. It’s a dance of anticipation and fulfillment, a journey that is as exhilarating as it is satisfying.

Breakbeat, you are not just a genre; you are a movement, a culture, a lifestyle. You represent freedom, expression, and a defiance of the norm. Your beats have been the soundtrack to countless nights of dancing, to moments of introspection, and to the unspoken connection between strangers united by the power of your sound.

Thank you for the countless hours of joy, for the memories etched in your beats, and for the promise of new discoveries in every track. You are a timeless love, a passion that will forever hold a special place in my heart. Here’s to you, Breakbeat, and to the endless rhythms that bind us together.
Love DANK SINATRA

I started making this mix series 11 years ago to celebrate my birthday and DJ anniversary.  After a short break, I am pleased to bring the tradition back to life with Twenty-Two, celebrating my 50th birthday and 22 years of DJing. I usually set a lot of rules for programming these studio mixes but I let that all go for this mix and just chose what moved me. I hope it moves you too! I found the album cover quite fitting, which was taken at my 40th at the first ShOOnanigans 10 years ago! 

I am excited to celebrate my 50th at Public Works SF on Sat 7/19! We have one of my favorite producers, Aylen, headlining along with special guests and my long-time friends Dulce Vita (Opulent Temple), Haute Mess (Brass Tax), and Nugz (Dusty Rhino). Space Cowboys DJs 8ball, Deckard, gLover, Kapt'n Kirk, Leyl Master Black, Rumblemunk, and your truly, will be shaking up the club on both floors and Maculate and Vizual Nektar will be on visuals!

RIPEcast ShOOey - Twenty-Two

On July 11th, 2025, THE BROKEN HOUSE SESSIONS, hosted by EVOTEK, featured a showdown between two individuals with extensive musical knowledge. While many possess musical insight, these two stand out due to their impressive music catalog. On this day, they aimed to recreate the enjoyable atmosphere of past hall parties, playfully anticipating each other’s next track. Most importantly, they embraced a spirit of creativity, experimenting boldly with each mix.  Evotek vs Dank Sinatra is a breaks match that non of us knew we needed.

Mucky Weekender DJ Set (ft. Leon Rhymes)

It was once again an absolute honour and privilege to play in Swingamajig at Shambala 2025, every time I leave this festival full of joy and my soul fully replenished, can't wait to do it all over again.

Before the festival a challenge was made to put together a set that fitted the venue and the wider Festivals vibe. It was a whole lot of fun liberally sprinkling some Swingamajig & Shambala magic throughout this set.

Hope this brings back some joyous memories for those that were there and piques the interest to sample Shambala in 2026 for those that weren't. x
