8*B1T - Powerpad (Vize Remix)

Mitchell Hanson aka DJ Vize is widely known as the Pacific NW USA's most prolific breakbeat artist, and one most world-renowned figures representing the genre Stateside today.

The Portland, Oregon native has been producing and performing for over a decade, with his signature brand of melodic, bass-heavy electro-breaks gathering him acclaim as one of the West Coast’s rising stars. In fact, his slew of coast-to-coast appearances have helped major in putting Oregon on the breakbeat map and influenced a string up and coming artists.

Named an official "Mover and Shaker in Breakbeat" by Annie Nightingale of BBC Radio1 UK, Vize's production resume includes critically-acclaimed, chart-topping tracks and remixes on labels like Illeven::Eleven, Diablo  Loco, Static System, and BreakzRBoss  consistently making waves in the crates of industry heavyweights such as Krafty Kuts, Bass Kleph, DJ Fixx, Far Too Loud, General Midi, and many more. His remix of Tribal Riot’s “Lights” peaked at #2 on Beatport’s breaks releases, Blacklist’s remix of his original “Killin Speakers” also hit #2 in singles releases, and dozens in the Top 100 and Weekly Top 10 Must Hear.

He’s also appeared on radio shows worldwide, and at top-flight venues from Vancouver BC to Las Vegas to   Texas to Cincinnati to Pittsburgh to Florida and a wide variety of places in-between - including stadium massives, clubs and national festivals like SXSW.

Keeping it fresh, keeping it broken, definitely keeping it nasty, and holding it down in “The Live Music Capital of the World”, Austin, TX, 8*B1t is very steadily gaining solid recognition in the breakbeat circuit. As a founding member of the funktastic party rockin' breaks crew Broke Nasty and equipped with a modest string of well received releases and remixes under his belt, his resume also includes a wide array of DJ sets and mixes with impeccable track lists boasting only the finest cutting edge broken beat noise that the genre has to offer. 

Since breaking into the game with his first few releases on US breakbeat labels such as Kick It and Royal One, his punchy and in-your-face production style has garnered the attention and support of some of the most respected contributors in the game. Smashing together influences taken from his love for hip-hop, dubstep, drum and bass, as well as big beat and the classic sounds of nuskool breaks, his music always brandishes a dash of pure good old balls-to-the-wall attitude which is reflected in his live DJ sets as well. With a keen ear for sound and a dedication to ever-increasing quality and perfection in his craft, expect the nifty and nasty broken beat ruckus from 8*B1t.
