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!

Enough Weapons - Walking On Water (Roxright Remix)

This is a mix I did to be handed out at the LooseFreQs Club Jam feat. Deekline (FreQualizer's 2nd birthday party) in cd format. The cd's are almost all gone and the remaining ones have been promised to people so it's time for it to go online.
Was never intended to be one of those over the top "oh my god, he's the best dj in the world" promo mixes that were clearly done in Ableton or other DAW. Just a tight "one take mix" in serato which I should be able to replicate live, of some of my favourite tunes of late. It's aimed at driving in your car, working out, or to get you pumped for a night out at pre drinks, or keep things rocking at an after party. 
All upfront, energetic breakbeat from the get go, with the goal for it to flow and get progressively harder as it goes on.
Hope you enjoy! Comments are welcomed and much appreciated, so feel free to drop your 2 cents worth in.

LooseFreQs Raftup 2 Mix

Here it is! My tribute to the late, great John Rodgers aka DJ Gully. One of, if not THE pioneer of the breakbeat sound in Perth, He was kicking around long beforehand, but I first experienced his skills in the very early days (late 2000) of Ambar  and I can honestly say that my love of breaks or breakbeat is a result of him displaying a unique blend of what at the time was an incredibly fresh, underground, yet dancefloor friendly sound. 

Did I know that 13 years later I would still be obsessed and so heavily involved in this style of music? Most definitely not! So with his untimely passing I felt compelled to pay tribute to him and the musical education he instilled upon me that brought me to this time and place. His "Backbeat" night, initially at Ambar, and later at Bar Open played a pivotal role in the development of the scene and culture here in Perth and gave a break, pardon the pun, to many of the people who are now household names around town. Anyone that was there in those days holds those memories very close to their heart and the gift he gave us was, and is, priceless!

I've dusted off my records from that period, and put together a very special 3 hour mix. People talk about the "golden era" of breaks, but are usually referring to 2 or 3 years later. This mix focuses primarily on tunes from 1999-2002, so it's no surprise that Plump Djs and labels like Finger Lickin and TCR feature pretty heavily. 

Please forgive me for what I would now consider fairly simple, and at times, somewhat rough mixing. All the tunes here except for few are played from (very well worn) vinyl as you can hear from that warm, fuzzy sound that you just don't really get to hear these days. I couldn't tell you the last time I pulled a 3 hour session on the Technics, am a little rusty, but hopefully I did it justice and conveyed it adequately and convincingly. At the end of the day, it's about the music and the connection and memories we all feel towards it, just bask in the rawness!

There was a big list compiled by friends and fans with close to 100 tunes that people associate with Gully, I obviously couldn't get through all of them. Some of the ones I didn't have, I tried to track down but remember we are talking about an era where not everyone had the internet, tunes weren't available as a 320, wav or aiff moments after they were finished and records took on average about 6 months to find their way to Australia. You then had to beg, steal and borrow to acquire them before anyone else did! To this day, finding some of those tracks that aren't just a shoddy 128kbps rip from vinyl proves almost impossible! I felt some of the suggestions put forward absolutely should've been in the mix but I just didn't have access to them and wanted to get this out there ASAP.

I offer my sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones, he was the sort of guy that noone had a bad word to say about and will be sorely missed by so many! So please, get comfortable, click play and raise a glass in honour of the man responsible for many a dancefloor memory and good time! Much love mate, may your legacy live on and you rest in peace!
