Danilo De Santo- The Sound [Ultra Bass]

Who’s ready for some Breaks with a b-boy stance? With the teaming up of, The Funky Boogie Brothers and Steady One & Kansai D, that’s exactly what we’ve got, by the bucket load! It seems that in Eastern Europe there is still a love of breaking a beat and rebuilding it in a way that tempts most into thinking they can pull of at least one break dance move! Many will fail, few will excel, but however you choose to experience ‘The Generation’, you’re set to head into some of the funkiest Breaks around! Dope beats ahead!

Tough Love- What You Need Is Me (Want More & Can’t Say No ‘Back 2 92′ Edit)

A great milestone for HC Recordings who have been keeping the NuSkool Rave/Hardcore/Jungle flag flying high through some rather sparse times with stunning releases from the likes of Billy No Mates and this upcoming slice of uplifting almost trance like Jungle Tekno, thumping kicks, rolling amens and wispy hypnotic chords plus plenty of 303 acid action!!!

Acid Reflex- Grapes In Ya Face [HC Recordings]

London based, Taylor, is treating to us to some mind melting magic with this remix of ‘Sinatra’ by, X-Press 2 & Mutiny. This ones pitched at just the right point of the deep and techy House scale with the perfect amount of energy for those who like to get down the most. The bristling atmospherics of this rework means that this is the kind of music one could easily lose their sh*it too! Go ahead, do it…

There’s a sneaky suspicion here on the ward that 2016 is going to a massive year for, Rocstar Recordings. There roster is a wash with some top class artists with one of them being, Cakeboy. After the success of his, Chemical Brothers remix, that we brought a while back, he has returned with with some very impressive work of his own in the shape of his four track EP ‘ON’.

If you’re a fan of the broken beat then this is an EP you really need to be investigating. ‘Jib Jab’ kicks things off on a punchy, funky Big Beat note with the title track of the EP ‘On’ offering more Big Beat goodness but with a much rougher, gnarly edge to it. The third track ‘Walking In The Rain’ sees a collab with, Kitten & The Hip, that goes very much down a fierce and fiery Glitch Hop route. ‘Supercell’ finishes this superb EP off in the best style! If you like your Breakbeat from lets say, mid 2000’s, then this is a track you’ll be salivating over for some time! If you’ve not damaged the bank balance too much over the Christmas period, this EP should be next on your purchase list, without doubt.

Technique Recordings have begun the year with the same ferocity as they ended it with in their ‘Technique Podcast’ series. Stepping up to the plate for this one is the UK duo, Document One. These guys have become firm favourites on, Techniques roster with their multi-genre experience. The podcast itself, which has to be said, is a real high flyer, comes ahead of two new singles from, Document One called ‘Small Steps’ which has Hip Hop flavour and a jazzfunk energy and ‘Run The Block’ which is much darker and menacing. Check them below…
