Old school is the Nuskool. Australia’s DiiSTORTiiON reminisces about the past and the heyday of Breaks with this new mix of Classic Breakbeat.

“So it recently dawned on me that this year marks 10 years since I had my first support gig at Ambar back in 2006 playing before Dopamine – 10 bloody years!! Since then music has taken me all over Australia and overseas and allowed me to connect with people all over the world that would have never been possible had it not been for our mutual interest in music.

So I think it’s about time I did a mix paying tribute to that awesome time in my life – the gigs/parties/after parties/boat parties and festivals.Flashing back to 2004 – 2006 I couldn’t get away without paying respect to Kid Kenobi who single handedly got me and most of the people I know into Djing at the time. I learnt to mix by listening to his breaks mixes on repeat.

So this mix is as much a tribute to him as it is to the talented artists included in it.

Enjoy!” – DiiSTORTiiON

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.

Check the Soundcloud widget at the very bottom of this post for all 25 musical Christmas treats. Many thanks to the Life Support Machine Blog.

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!
