breakbeat - the ones to look out for?

love da beakz

anything from the Freestylers, Rennie Pilgrim, Adam Freeland, DeeJay Punk Roc, Forme, Freddy Fresh, Bassbin twins, Cut la Roc, Freq Nasty, Stanton Warriors,

Labels: Marine Parade, early Skint, Ninja tune,

Also BLIM, Chris carter, Danny Mcmillan Meat katie plumps anything on TCR , whole nine yards
anyone doing a mix on Annie Nightingales show

some of my faves

Raw deal - headless horseman rides again blim remix
Elisabeth troy - forever young blim + freq nasty mix
Ils - it's about that time
Vigi and flip - freak frequency
Rennie pilgrem + blim - 2 freaks
Soul of man - killa brew
Zero - emmit/collect remixes

Wall of Sound still gets my vote. Heaps of good stuff on it, some of it not necessarily 10/10 material but kind of reliable. Mo Wax / Ninja are pretty much on the money too but are pretty collectable. Grand Central and Tru Thoughts are worth checking for chilled stuff beats although they're definitely more current.

All above and the Drummatic Twins (check out their tune 'Rock Steady' it a corker).
Class tunes this new school breaks and a breath of fresh air. Got that 'english' feel to it that the music did around 1990.
Im well into it at the mo

AKA Shades of Rhythm

Anything on Finger Lickin' is usually a safe bet...

The daddy of them all, IMO, is Hybrid. They were the artist's that really made a huge WOW on the breaks scene.

my faves

used to be cut n paste and agent sumo (before they went 4-4) specifically the mayhem e.p

I remember a brilliant Cut & Paste tune called Forget It, nicey acidy breakbeat number... am I getting confused or were Cut & Paste something to do with Freestylers?

take a bow that man cant believe they hadnt been mentioned yet

pm us yer addy grad mate and i'll get a cd or two off to yer filled with a mixture of stuff so you can get a feel for whats good and whats not in your opinion

all mentioned so far are top notch producers/djs phones: and like ab45 said, have given dance music a big breath of fresh air ..... breaks have been huge this year and had thousands of people lovin em over in amsterdam etc .....


hybrid - best producers musically imo, but more progressive breaks. some awesome tracks ... remixes more than orig releases
rennie pilgrim - hard very acid influenced breaks, right up your street i imagine
evil9 - more hip hop influenced but very good breaks
danny mcmillan - been around ages but his nu-skool breaks are bad ass
plump djs - different style of breaks, not my style really
hyper - grab any of his remixes, all top stuff
freq nasty - kinda d'n'b influenced breaks with dirty rappin, hard breaks thou and sum good stuff ... check hybrid - higher than a skyscraper (freq nasty remix)
meat katie - loadsa mint tunage
aquasky and masterblaster - dirty quality breaks
orbital - some of their new stuff
christian j - always mint remixes
lee coombes
freestylers
stanton warriors
way out west

'distinctive' is my fave label, then theres marine parade (which sadly aint no more - so grab the labels better tracks from adam freeland etc) theres tonnes more

errrmm when i get home i'll list some quality tracks, labels etc .... got a a load of work on at the mo and as someone said before (cant remember who :$ ) annie nightingales shows are always spot on for quality breaks

10/10

spot on mike yep it was one half of the freestylers and one half of the plump djs. Mad some really good stuff. There was a good one called half term break that used the riff from grange hill. Forget it was inspired by chemical beats.

Didn't even know you liked breakbeat Pauly!

I like virtually all Hybrid's stuff and really rate the stantons.

And I think this is absolutely wicked from a few years ago

Ils - Next Level

Yea yea am digging some of the names so far...

Hows about these...

Jonny L - Sawtooth - 1998

Omni Trio - Haunted Science - 1996 (the awesome 'Haunted Kind' slow-mo lovely track)
Omni Trio - Byte Size Life - 1999
Omni Trio - Even Angels Cast Shadows - 2001

Just for a taste of the (what I deem) more classy breaks stuff, beautifully crafted. phones:
