Notes On Breakbeat Explorationz Vol.3

In this mix I got to incorporate a few more of my favourite tracks. I've always like the track Happy Cycling, by Boards of Canada. So I jumped at the chance to play this track, and quite by accident I discovered that the break from the tune Trouble Bucket by Cris Crucial fitted in quite well together with Happy Cycling.

I like how this mix starts out with funky breaks, then goes into a breakbeat techno direction then rinses and repeats back into breaks, bass with elements of trance, darkside drum n bass and old school hardcore breakbeat and techno. There are quite few stand out tracks in this mix. I quite liked the Flawless EP by Cris Crucial and there's four great tracks by UFO Project that features a few tracks in this mix.

A friend of mine (who loves his old school hardcore tracks) recently posted a couple of links for Perfect Love, by Rhythm Section and Far Out, by Sonz Of A Loop Da Loop Era. So this got me thinking about how and where to put these tracks in my mix. So whilst I was mixing these tunes I managed to include a couple of tracks by Aphex Twin. Polynomial-C is one of my all time favourite tunes, so it was really special to include this tune, plus Digeridoo, which is another one of those benchmark tunes that Richard D. James had released on various labels before it was featured on the seminal Belgian techno label R&S Records. I still want to do an old school mix, which is something what I plan to do sometime the course of this year. 1969, by Boards of Canada is one of my favourites from their album Geogaddi. My mix starts and finishes off with two short vignettes by Shed and Actress. The Killer and R.I.P are two great albums that I should play more often!

I was quite happy with the general flow of this mix, however I wasn't quite so satisfied with the quality of my mixing. I thought that this mix could have been tighter, and there were odd tunes where I thought that I could have been better. Considering that this mix is over three hours long and features over fifty eight tracks I didn't think it was too bad. Although I ended up doing about five different mixes until I felt satisfied that it was good enough to share online.

Hopefully, at some time throughout the course of this year I'll be able to do more mixes, and all going well, I can start doing more old school mixes like a drum n bass mix that I've been meaning to do for the last few years!

Notes on Breakbeat Explorationz Vol. 3

In this mix I got to include a few more personal favourite tunes of mine. At the very beginning of this mix is a short track by Roy Budd from the original soundtrack of the Mike Hodges 1971 film, Get Carter, that leads into another old school hip hop favourite, Strong Island by JVC Force, and Dub Be Good To Me by Beats International. At the end I got to include Second Scepe by Autechre and A Moment Of Clarity by Boards Of Canada.

I like the general flow of this mix. When I compile these tunes I try to incorporate different genres and blend them all together. It just so happened that I got a few tracks from Stanton Warriors, Punks imprint, (including a track by Stanton Warriors themselves) and a couple of fantastic EP's from Rory Hoy and Funky Presidents that had the opportunity to include. 

I've been a fan of Fatima Yamaha, and I just think the track, What's A Girl To Do is just absolutely sensational. So I thought that I would let that tune roll, and play out the end of my mix.

Thanks for reading my blog, and checking out my mix. My latest mix: Breakbeat Explorationz Vol. 3 is available to listen to on Mixcloud right now, and I'll have a blog entry up and running on here within a short while!
