Always lazy with the synth design :) But amazing drums as allways

Always a treat listening to music by Kyo & Break. Just when it felt due for a follow up to 2016's '10 Years of Symmetry' too! (On a side note, Kyo was on the track 'Without You' by Degrees of Freedom.)

About time on the Kyo EP haha, worth the wait :)

that reesy bassline is so well done the break and overall dynamics are also great

Symmetry is excited to present the first debut E.P. from vocalist and producer Kyo. Writing and creating the songs in her studio, Kyo then developed the ideas of the E.P. further by teaming up with some of her favourite producers; Break, Total Science, Mikal and OneMind.
“Who Decides” is reminiscent of past Break and Kyo colab's such as “Gave Too Much”, a soulful, punchy, uplifting and techy roller, weaved around a backdrop of floaty vocals and elevating pads.
“Murder Tonight” with it's Jungle backbone was the perfect choice for collaboration with Total Science. Rare groove flavours and weighty bass, melded with cutting vocals and steppy old skool breaks, Murder Tonight has all the elements of a modern day Jungle classic.
“Where I Stand” brings jazzy liquid vibes to the E.P. Leading Mikal down a recently untrodden path of musical DnB was a fruitful excursion. This journey into a bittersweet and rhythmic production has created a deep and brooding song.
“Play To Lose” is one for the headzy listener, with it's long atmospheric intro, abruptly cutting into a heavy and deep groove. Morphed and echoed vocals combined with unsettling stabs,
cinematic effects and trademark OneMind engineering techniques, takes you on a voyage from beginning to end.

Long hours in the studio have lead to releases on Ram, Metalheadz, Shogun, Exit, Critical, Soul:R, Quarantine, Subtitles and a host of others; cementing Break’s reputation as one of drum & bass’ hottest talents. His trusted skills have been reigned in to remix seminal drum & bass classics including Shy FX’s ‘Bambaata’, Die’s ‘Clear Skyz’, Commix’s ‘Talk to Frank’ and Ram Trilogy’s ‘Gridlock’ as well as Bloc Party’s UK top-5 hit ‘The Prayer’.

Equally praised for his DJ skills, Break maintains a consistent touring schedule that sees him playing across the globe on a weekly basis on the stages of the world’s biggest drum & bass institutions; from Fabric, Detonate, Bedlam, Warning, Metalheadz and Hospitality in the UK to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the breadth of Europe, playing headline shows or back2back sets with the likes of Die, Goldie and Dillinja.

Launching his own label, Symmetry Recordings in 2006, Break honed and polished his sound with each single and released his fist album, also entitled ‘Symmetry’ in 2008. Featuring forays into ambient, dubstep, funk, hip hop, house and soul amongst an arsenal of sure-fire drum & bass, ‘Symmetry’ earned Break an army of new fans from outside the d&b world with tracks picked up by the likes of techno legends Laurent Garnier and Josh Wink. 

Two years later Break has risen the bar further still via his second LP; ‘Resistance’. Featuring collaborations with No U-Turn mastermind Nico, Bristol’s DJ Die, super-duo Calyx & Teebee, DNAudio cohorts Silent Witness and Survival, Shogun Audio’s SpectraSoul and vocalists Kyo and SP:MC, the album offers a glorious journey through the spectrum of Break’s styles and influences and a clear indication of where his talents will lead him next. 

The next chapter for Break is signing new exciting artists to coincide with his own output on the label. Keep a keen eye on Symmetry as this is the label for the real sounds of Drum & Bass, absolutely no compromise.
