Long time Australian DJ & Producer Kid Kenobi just finished his second volume of “20 Years a Kid” this time concentrating on the funky breaks / big beat side of things …..

“So stoked that I FINALLY got around to finishing the second installment of my ’20 Years a Kid’ mixtape series! This second edition covers the years 1998 – 2000 when big beat was mutating into breaks and funk influenced music still reigned supreme. It’s one of the things I love about this era, it’s all about THE FUNK. The funkier the better! Personally I feel that’s something that’s missing a bit these days and is more than due for a comeback (watch this space

). For those of you who remember the legendary Globe days in Sydney then this should take you right back to the dancefloor on one of those epic nights! Hard to believe some of these tunes are 20 years old! Good music never dies it seems (or at the very least stops making you bust ‘funkies’ on the dancefloor)! Hope you dig! x” – KK

Fellow Perth homies the Beatslappaz take to centre stage in this brand new mix for Martin Telemann’s Bass Is Boss Knights series of mixes. Now we haven’t heard anything from the Australian duo in quite a while apart from a FREE tune every now and then but the lads are back with a multi-genre Bass music mix exploring all avenues of the genre.

Digging deep into my hard drives i present to you a monster of a mix. All tunes in this mix i made, starting from 2015 and working my way to 2018, most you can find on my Soundcloud page. There are a few official unreleased tracks in there (at the end), unheard of reworks/versions as well as a few i have never put up for FREE download. From Funk to Soul to Breakbeat to Disco and a bit of everything in between, i hope you like this monster of a mix.

I haven’t heard anything from UK’s Hexadecimal for quite a while but he is back with a long overdue mix of Breaks, Bass, Electro and Techno music. This power house mix has a bit of everything in it for everyone and is not your typical straight up Breaks mix, enjoy !

With the recent gig “Back To The Beats” held in Brixton and the monstrous lineup of old school Breaks talent it’s only fitting that we have a near on 2 hour mix from the man that was their at the beginning, Jay Cunning. With this mix he has digged deep into his crate of records putting together some classic old Nu Skool Breaks from around the year 2000. For those that remember you are going to dig this.

From the act that have been in the breaks business from the beginning i present to you a smoking new mix from the legendary Freestylers chock full off new tunes and bootlegs including their brand new tune “Unreal”.

Krafty Kuts, real name Martin Reeves is one of the most influential people in the electronic music scene today with experience as a DJ / Producer for more than two decades. Never one to be tied down to a defined genre Krafty has mixed it with the best and has crafted (pardon the pun) the breaks scene in to what it is today. Many artists have come and gone over the years but Krafty is still here leading the way !

This mix which goes for over 2 and a half hours was recorded LIVE at Klub K4, Ljubljana, Slovenia back in January 2009 and contains the vocal talents of Dynamite MC.

Every ounce of Funk & Soul has gone into this mixtape and if you like your beats broken and funky then this mix is right up your alley. Gramophone Soul mixes together some of the best tunes, edits and remixes around starting of with DJXS Edit’s clever remake of The O Jays For The Love Of Money and ending with the well known mainstream tune of the time C2C’s Happy.
