Vacation is an up and coming DJ and producer in the San Francisco breaks scene. He got his start 5 years ago when he visited a little place called Black Rock City. It was there that he first witnessed Burning Man’s breaks-heavy culture and was instantly inspired by Bay Area legends DJ Zach Moore and The Space Cowboys.

Earlier this year, Vacation launched a local DJ collective called Neon Sharks, where he and other contributors release weekly “Shark Frenzy” mixes across multiple genres, including breaks, techno, tech house, house, and drum and bass.

This mix was specially crafted for Breakzlinkz to bring the best breaks & bass music coming from different times, record labels, directions, and even genres.

You can find Vacation on the Playa, throwing a Neon Sharks renegade, or at a local venue. Find out more about Vacation and Neon Sharks on their SoundCloud, Mixcloud, and Facebook pages below:

For the third year running I headed to Stockport (UK) on our August bank holiday to the awesome, Moovin Festival. This cracking little festival is one that I highly recommend and to find out more about it, you can read a review I did of it in 2015 when you *Click Here*.

Before you do that though, get this mix from Steve Thorpe downloaded so as your reading is accompanied by a damn fine soundtrack. Steve closed the Boombox stage on Sunday night and as I’ve seen him DJ several times now, I knew something special was gonna go down and so did a lot of other people judging by how many turned up to see him play. With the tent over flowing with people who wanted to end the weekend on a real high, Steve stepped up and delivered a blinding set that was heavy with Breaks and a touch of Acid House and Techno to boot. All of us left wanting more but as is the way with life, all good things must come to an end, so we all wandered off back to our tents with big smiles on our faces safe in the knowledge we’d ended an amazing weekend the right way by dancing our socks off!

Well Christmas has come and gone for the year of 2015 and some of us are enjoying a well earned break from the routine of work while spending this time with family and friends.

I recently posted about the Life Support Machine Blog and their 25 Days of “Musical Advent Calendar”. Below are some great breaks mixes from the Calendar featuring award winning DJ Breaksjunky and a LIVE set of old Nuskool Breaks from Krossbow and finishing off with a brand new 2 hour mix from the legendary Drumattic Twins.

As an extra bonus this Christmas eve we have second mix to get those parties rocking! This one comes from, Colin and Jon aka, Krossbow. These guys met ten years ago through a love for the broken beat and because of that, Krossbow, was formed. The music in their mix represents the tunes they were both raving to back in the day. So as you might guess, this mix takes on ‘classic Breaks’ stance. The mix itself was recorded at the, Wilkestock festival, back in September and was to be their last festival set together as, Jon has packed up and moved to Australia. The tracklist was specifically chosen to celebrate their ten year friendship and such has been there success over the last decade, several of the artist included in the mix have found themselves supported by the mighty, Krossbow. Definitely one of those ‘full circle’ deals in full effect!

Fear not fans of, Krossbow! Even though, Jon has moved to Australia they guys still plan to keep working together which is great news all round I’m sure you will agree. The only thing that’s left to do is set your music device volume to ‘max’ and get on it guys and gals!

Volume 2 in my continuing series of “Future Breakz” mixes. The ever changing variety of Breakbeat music out their at the moment consists of a cross genre batch from Bass to 2 Step, etc but still being a basis of general Breakbeat, this mix reflects some of that music that is Future Breaks.
