Backbeat was a monthly event here in Perth, Western Australia a place for Breaks and the promotion of it to like minded people in the club scene. Thanks to one person DJ Gully (RIP) the Breaks scene excelled back in the mid 2000’s and one of the acts to brace it’s presence was the Beatslappaz. While at that time it was all about the Nuskool/Tearout Breaks the Beatslappaz continued to grow and eventually lead them onto the path of winning a Stanton Warriors remix competition and gaining acknowledgement among their peers leading them to their own EP release on the Punks Music label. This is a rare mix from them, i hope you enjoy !

This mix from the Beatslappaz was recorded as a promotional mix way back in 2007 for a local night here in Perth, Australia called Backbeat. Pushing the forefront of the Breakbeat sound here in Perth at the time and it really pays homage to one of the true pioneers of the breaks scene and the main organiser of Backbeat, DJ Gully. Unfortunately Gully passed away earlier this year but the Beatslappaz sound is really present in this great Tearout Breaks mix for the time.
