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 LIVE at Future Sound Of Breaks (Winter Music Conference), Miami in March 2008.

Top Drawer Digital have been releasing some quality tunes for some time now and next up on their release roster is Pressa and his Metropolis EP. This promo mix from Pressa showcases the 3 track EP as well as some other tunes of his released and unreleased.

Here’s something to start off your weekend at a higher tempo, Martin Flex has just dropped a straight up Drum & Bass mix for the Armory Podcast. For all you D & B heads this one is for you.

Martin Flex aka PuRe SX, is one of the freshest names on the bass & breaks scene. A producer who knows how to drop the 808 boom and send the bodies flying around the room. Blasting out of the thriving UK underground since 2008, he currently DJs all over the world from USA to Russia, London to Spain, and beyond.

Famous for low end terrorism in the form of his smash hits Taking It Back, Shake Ur Body, Sunglasses, Another Day, Let Me Go, Bustin Dubz, 212 Booty and Link Up alongside Deekline, Martin Flex aka PuRe SX has picked up support for his music from all the top names on the scene, from Deekline to Stanton Warriors, Ed Solo to Lady Waks and Krafty Kuts to the Freestylers. After his successful “Let’s Go Tours” of the U.S.A. in 2015 & 2016, came back for another U.S.A tour in 2017.

The Shanghaied imprint has just dropped a bit of a modern house classic by Toyboy & Robin. a former US vice president provides a vocal hook for a stunning slice of Deep Tech House called ‘Groove Talk’ Respected and acclaimed house music duo, Toyboy & Robin join the Shanghaied roster with a house track that hints of the early noughties funky club house sound while maintaining a pure 2017 level of top tier production and sound design.

With a memorable lead hook already providing the feels in shedloads, a vocal introduces itself talking of our need for stimulation that goes beyond moderate. The vocal is from a speech given by the vice president to Richard ‘Tricky Dicky’ Nixon and it gives ‘Groove Talk’ a grand cinematic feel. If you’re a fan of Tom Frankel, someone who has also featured on Shanghaied-you’re gonna love ‘Groove Talk’

Toyboy & Robin – Groove Talk

As well as the tune itself being one that will blow your mind, props also go to Kathika Rabbit who absolutely kills it on vocals.

To say we’re excited to hear that would be the understatement of the year!

It’s not very often these days that we get to bring you a Breakbeat masterpiece from, Elite Force. Simon Shackleton sent his Elite Force alias on a long term hiatus quite some time ago, but he has recently uploaded his revamp of Aphex Twin’s seminal ‘Digeridoo’ which he’s also giving it away for free, which we’re incredibly grateful for and I’m sure many of you will be to. It was first released back in 2011, but with the added drums and a heavy Acid Breaks sound, it’ll still tear the dance floor a new one right here, right now!

If you’re a fan of Elite Force, we have some very exciting news for you as he is playing a one off gig in Manchester on November 25th. He’ll be playing for Manchester’s longest running Breaks night, Lowdown, who are sadly saying goodbye to the venue they called home for so many years, Sound Control. I’ve got my ticket and I cannot wait! If you’re interested and want to know more, head over to the event page on Facebook here >>> Lowdown w/Elite Force

In other news, Simon is selling a massive stack of his own Elite Force vinyl. The vinyl sale is roughly 10 days old on the date this is written, so inevitably some of it will already be sold, but if you want to see if you can grab yourself a piece, head over to his Facebook page here to find all the info and the link for the list of music on offer.
