MKMhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif & GBXhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif are the hottest things to come out of the Brazilian breaks scene and have already been snapped up by J.Mekka down at iBreaks to do a series of releases on the iBreaks Bass label.

This is a high octane release, with powerful driving beats and progressive reverberating synths reminiscent of the breaks sound a few years back, but with extra balls.

Break [Symmetry]

Filed under: Music Recommendations: break, symmetry

If he doesn’t win the best contribution to drum & bass award for 2008, he will easily win the hardest worked award.

And this is where it all kicked off on his Symmetry imprint back in 2006. Now finally available on digital, ‘The Truth’ is a devastating hard edged hitting anthem combining in his influences of heavy beats and jungle with which one can hear the likes of Fierce and Calyx screaming through.

Amazing Grace. How sweet the sound. Indeed.

Yes, the inimitable Grace Joneshttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif is back. Her first studio album in almost two decades dropped last month on Wall of Sound and a bumper world tour is set to ensue in the New Year.

Although Kompakthttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_l.gif has been markedly quieter in 2008 than previous years they’ve had their share of gems, notably in the form of Matias Aguayo’s ‘Minimal’ and its excellent DJ Kozehttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif remix.

This follow-up might not have quite the same far reaching appeal, but for fans of the Aguayo’s taut narco-disco, it’s another treat.

Everyone’s Got To Make A Living

Dances with White Girls [Throne of...

Written by: Dan Cole
Filed under: Music Recommendations: new crack swing, the rapture, throne of blood

Standout track from Dances with White Girls’ new EP on The Rapture’s new imprint Throne of Blood sees the use of the iconic sample from the 20th Century Band’s ‘Heaven and Hell is on Earth’ track.

Most commonly associated with J-Lo’s ‘Jenny on the Block’ or more recently Paul Kalkbrenner’s ‘Gebrunn Gebrunn’, the lyrics, “Men go working, some go stealing, everyone’s got to make a living” are looped around a high-octane, upbeat, jackin’ house beat.

If you want a good remix you call in The Rogue Elementhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif, if you want a great remix you call in Tom Real & The Rogue Element.

Collectively these guys produce under the moniker, Disco of Doom and together have been responsible for demonically reconstructing some of the biggest hits within the breakbeat realm, including their infamous remix of Noisia’s ‘Gutterpump’ which won best remix at the 2006 Breakspoll.

Another great signing from Brooklyn’s Railyard crew, this time in the form of micro-maestro Donato Dozzy.

Originally from Denver Colorado, and now residing in San Francisco, Jus Wanhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif drops this deep, techno influenced, breaks driven dubstep number on Appleblim’s new imprint, Apple Pipshttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_l.gif.

Kronix

Featured earlier this year on the fourth installment of Andy C’s ‘Nightlife’ series, this track is perhaps one of the most unique tunes to come out of the drum & bass scene this year.

With more emphasis on its 4/4 structure and less on the breakbeats, this offering from d&b new boy Culture Shockhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif washes over, sounding like a hybrid between Etienne De Crecyhttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif and Sub Focushttp://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif.
