Ello all! Not a massive update today (unlike the last blog post which seemed to take about three years to write, haha!) but just a few bits of news, a new mix, and a couple of random videos I came across for you.
Firstly, shouts to everyone who was at Subway City in Birmingham for Bounce 2 This a couple weeks back, and also to everyone who was at No Skillz Aloud 2 in Northampton on Friday night. Had a great time at both of these and hope you enjoyed the sets if you were there!
I’m about to update my website with a couple of bookings I’ve got in the last week but a quick heads up here first – I will be playing at the next BANG FACE on December 12th at Elektrowerkz in London! Looking forward to this, so if you’re planning on coming along (I mean, they have Altern 8, and Spor just for starters!!!) then Shaz and I will see you there. The christmas Bang Face’s are always extra special because Christmas is just around the corner, so I’m well looking forward to it!
Then in January I will be playing a classic oldskool hardcore set at History of Hardcore at Jacks, and on February 7th I will be playing old skool in the Club Kinetic room at a pretty big event being held in Mansfield up in Nottinhamshire. I’m not sure of the event name yet, but I’ve heard the proposed lineup and it sounds fat!!
Anyway, as it’s the last day of the month (can’t think of any other thing special about this grey sunday morning, haha) here’s a mix for you. Someone over on the www.nu-rave.com forums was asking earlier in the week about breakbeat hardcore (that is to say hardcore in the 160-180bpm range but predominantly breakbeat, as opposed to hardcore breaks, which is breaks with a hardcore slant, from 140-160ish bpm *sigh*) as it is a genre that doesn’t really fit anywhere. It’s too fast for hardcore breaks sets, but too breakbeaty for most hardcore-heads, and not crazy enough for breakcore fans, but it’s still AWESOME music in my opinion and is one of my favourite types of music.
Anyway, he was asking what tunes were out there that had come out recently, and rather than give him a list, I decided to do a quick mix by way of reply. As its quick, there’s one (may-I-say-quite-superb) clang in it, so I called it Sixty Minutes and One Clang of Breakbeat Hardcore:

All tracks with the exception of number 8 came out within the last year or so. And yeah, I know there’s a lot of Shimamura, Jakazid, Darwin and Al Storm but tbh it’s because they are awesome. And I didn’t know if I could include any unreleased stuff without checking first, so I didn’t, heh.
And onto the last part of my blog post.. where I tell you things that you should be checking out! These are in no particular order:
www.nu-rave.com
The Cris E Manic and Wizbit show on Eruption FM on Tuesday evenings
The next KFA release (see www.kniteforcerevolution.com) – it is AWESOME
The Luna-C podcasts, which I think should be or will be coming out any day now, again, wicked
Second to last, you need to check the hilarious baptazia videos doing the rounds on youtube. A guy called airloaf is behind these, and they are awesome. I noticed there’s currently not a Baptazia ravers group on facebook, so this needs to be sorted! Anyway, check this shiznit:
And finally.. here’s the most insane dog in the planet. You need sound – turn it up and enjoy possibly the craziest 28 seconds of your day.
Enjoy your weekend!
