30 Years of Breaks / 1991–2021 / Mixed by Skool of Thought

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.

DiiSTORTiiON - Classic Breakbeat Vol.2 [June 2022]

It’s been three years since I last created an Elite Force DJ mix. While my focus has recently turned to my Simon Shackleton output, there’s been a nagging desire to create something a little tougher from some of the great breakbeat and techno that’s being made at the moment.

May The Force Be With You.

Elite Force (aka Simon Shackleton) - DJ Mix Oct 2022

DOWNLOAD LINK: https://hypeddit.com/eliteforce/djmixfebruary2023

This new mix showcases the sound I hear in my head when I think about a beautiful hybrid of breakbeat, techno and electro. It's also representative of the kind of Elite Force sets you'll hear from me in the live arena, as I return to the fray in 2023 after a four-year absence!

To craft a mix that had the exact feel I was looking for, I used 24 tracks in some shape or form, pulling many of them apart, rearranging them and adding liberal ly from my own extensive sample library. This set includes 11 Elite Force VIP edits, several acapellas / acidapellas and lashings of breakbeat-techno-electro love.

2023. I'm coming for you.

DJ Mix Feb 2023

This set was first performed on January 1st 2024 in San Francisco at the Breakfast of Champions block party on the Space Cowboys main stage.

A RE:CONSTRUCTED set is a *long* way removed from a standard DJ set. It's a live/hybrid set.

Simon takes hundreds of tracks from his huge library, painstakingly deconstructs them (using Ai if needed to separate elements from the original tracks), and then pieces everything back together to create a hugely emotive and immersive musical story.

He uses Ableton Live and multiple controllers to trigger up to 16 individual channels of audio at any one time during the performance, and also performs live keyboard overdubs. The end result is a hugely addictive, compulsive and compelling blend of music that's often new, often familiar but always utterly unique.

Thanks for all the love on this set 🙏 Out of it came a full track — Bell Tolls (Revamped).

El Scab Yo Knee 2

This week, we are welcoming breaks phenom EVA of Strategik and Fraktured LA. EVA's mixes are journeys of soul while simultaneously, as her SoundCloud name attests, face-melting. Enjoy this mix she crafted exclusively for the RIPEcast! Here's what EVA had to say about the mix:

"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. A person who stood for human rights, for gender equality, for being oneself and living one's best life. I am one of many women who have reaped the rewards of being born into - and currently living within - her epic dynasty. 
Though completed before her death this mix is a direct reflection of the freedom and opportunity I, and countless others, have been afforded under her protection. To say and do what we want, and to be who and what we want. To let our freak flag fly and to live our best life. I hope the joy and pure happiness I felt making this mix effectively expresses exactly that. 
We are still here, we matter, and though we may be distant we are most certainly not alone. I invite you to take a deep breath right now, for you and you alone, and allow yourself these next 70 minutes of personal freedom. Music is the only thing that will always make sense. It is my safe space, my church, my home within.

So in that spirit, and with all the love and space and strength in my heart, 
2020: I fucking dissent."
