I went on a bit of a Bandcamp and Discogs binge about a year back and these records reflect both the style I was digging around then and what was available more locally. It’s a venn diagram of mid tempo breaks and electro, spiced with some nice 4/4 action towards the end. I tend to buy records in bursts of enthusiasm around a particular sound, so this mix is a really nice snapshot of a particular time for me musically. There’s a warmth to these kinds of productions that really comes through in the format.

TAPE LAB MIX : June 2025 : Ko Rhizo

From The man himself!  

"Around the early 2000's I was a big advocate for Nu Skool Breaks, 2 step, UK Bass, Garage etc. Many Years later music taste has changed but the love for bassy, breaks, 4x4/house, UK Bass has remained. I tend to push for the more leftfield if I can to test the brain frequencies. So hold tight. Peace "
