Basement Freaks is the brainchild of Giorgos Fotiadis and he is all about everything that is funky. Founded back in 2006 this mix is from a couple of years later and was specially made as a promotional item for Goodgroove Records an outlet from which he released music and regularly played gigs for. Basement Freaks has 4 albums to his name with various EP’s and remixes, of late he has been releasing a bunch of sample packs for Black Octopus as well as still touring and playing his style of Funk music to the masses.

The original members of the Freestylers are Matt Cantor and Aston Harvey who started off their musical careers in the mid 1990’s. They released their first two albums ‘We Rock Hard’ and ‘Pressure Point’ on the legendary Breakbeat label Freskanova. The third and forth albums ‘Raw as F**k’ and ‘Adventures in Freestyle’ were released on ‘Against The Grain’another Breaks power house based label. Their last album from 2013 ‘The Coming Storm’ was released through Black Hole Recordings.

The Freestylers began their career as an Urban Electronic Music Act, and their early tunes ‘B-Boy Stance,’ ‘Ruffneck’ and ‘Warning’ set the marker. As their music progressed so did their anthems with the seminal tunes ‘Punks’, ‘Boom Blast’, ‘Fasten Your Seat-Belts,’ ‘Painkiller’ and more recently ‘Cracks.’ In addition to their status as underground heroes, they have gained commercial success with their huge global hit ‘Push Up’ and have had their music featured in TV and film, including the hugely successful comedy film Zoolander.

This mix was recorded for Australia’s Triple J Radio back in 2004.

Time for a new generation of Breaks and Figures of Eighty are just that. Pushing that new Bass & Breaks sound or dare i say it Future Breaks type of sound. Although no strangers to breaks the duo of Adam Relf & Ned Woodman have gone under other various alias’s and were first signed to the iconic breaks label Hardcore Beats.

Without taking their eyes off the dance floor Figures of Eighty are trying to push Bass music to new areas. Hard to categorize and borrowing from much of dance music’s ever expanding themes such as Trap, Garage and Grime. The projects aim is to produce future looking music rooted in the culture of their origins – Early Hardcore and Jungle.
