DUSTED BREAKS 20TH RELEASE - EXTRA SPECIAL PACKAGE AND COLLABORATION WITH DEAD FAMOUS RECORDINGS!
Dusted Breaks are pleased to kick off their relationship with a producer who's studio seems to have moved to an industrial bulding site of late!!
Whilst Bernie has never been shy of tough beats and big bass, he has taken all he did in previous years and smashed it out of the park to bring on the heaviest gut wrenching beats and twisted teeth grinding basslines, that only the most hardened clubber will be able to take! Both Shooked & Bulletproof give you no choice but to play them loud and are both relentless in their ability to get yo ass up and dance!
For the remix Dusted Breaks wanted something really special to complement the originals and they don't come any more special than legendary producers VANDAL & SHUT UP AND DANCE.
VANDAL took on the job of remixing Shooked and moves for the more Electro Breaks sound, with a battering ram beat and awesome synth work that manages to shank the tailbones and metertarsals of the unsuspecting dancefloor!! S.U.A.D Basically took all of the original samples that Bernie had offered, screwed them up and threw them in the bin, in favour of bringing in the THE RAGGA TWINS and turning the tune into a broken dubbed up party banger that you will automatically recognize as SHUT UP AND DANCE!
Lee Coombs “Vandal Remix is slammin! Will use this for sure!!”
Splitloop "I like what the Shut Up and Dance guys have done with it, it's mental but really solid. Out of the package I like the original of Bulletproof best, closely followed by the Vandal remix of Shooked"
Run Riot “B-Phreak is HUGE! ALL about the originals for me - right up my street!!”
Drumattic Twins “"Im a big big SUAD fan but the Vandal mix Here is immense....Its like,,,,,its like Pete Tong,,,,makes me wanna go out.....”
OUT NOW :: BEATPORT Also available at all other good download shops!
DEAD FAMOUS DOUBLE RELEASE INFO:
This go round Dead Famous and Dusted Breaks proudly present 2
wicked releases from B-Phreak, with a host of stellar, and yet,
completely different remixes. If you like your head twisted, your feet
glued to the floor, your mind expanded, and then destroyed like it was
Armageddon, you will definitely find something that suits you on one of
these!
B-Phreak – Wavy Gravy (Kid Kenobi / Duane Barry Remixes) [DF31] OUT NOW :: at Beatport for the next 2 weeks, and then everywhere else afterwards.
After
the success of the Dead Famous Remix LP, we’re trying something a bit
different this go round. Stepping outside the proverbial dark acid
drenched box, we @ Dead Famous are happy to present something a little
more outwardly upbeat for the crowd that likes to move. First up, we
have B-Phreak’s Wavy Gravy. Fresh of a string of recent well received
releases, and a crucial remix for Mesmer’s Scarcity imprint, B-Phreak
delivers what he’s most known for – hard ass techy breaks with a dash
of drive, a smidgen of funk, and a giant helping of nasty. I’m sayin
pull out the bowl of mashed potatoes, because it is indeed that type of
party.
On the remix front, we firstly have Kid Kenobi,
who has lately returned to the forefront of dance music. While
championing a different sound than old breaks heads remember him for,
it’s worth noting that the production on his recent big room house
tunes is just the same, If not better than what some remember him for.
Crafting a giant funky affair that fans of funky as it comes house will
love, Kid Kenobi has definitely incorporated a chunk of breaks in this
remix to keep the chin strokers happy. Lastly, label head of the
stellar Digital Sensation UK, Duane Barry has delivered a remix that is
guaranteed to make hands raise all summer long. Turning out a remix
that is reminiscent in vibe of old Chable & Bonicci, and coupled
with a main build and breakdown that is so massive it can’t even be
described properly, Duane continues to push trancey breaks unlike
anyone else.
Don't take our word for it, here's what others had to say about the Remix LP:
Karton
"Original is nice and tough - DB's remix adds a nice proggy element
without losing the energy. Can see both getting a play from us at
different times. "
Mr No Hands / Mixmag "Kid’s remix is sicko ravey pants in the garden time!"
Far Too Loud "Original is a filthy filthy banger. Naughty. I like it."
Kultur
"Duane Barry has created a marvelous remix, like always !! I will
support both in my Kultura Breakz show in the next weeks and also in my
live sets."
Kickflip "Yes yes, liking the big bendy bass original here!"
Carol Campos
"The original is a true banger, very hard ass indeed! Like it a lot.
But the one which is going to have more rotation on my case in the Kid
Kenobi mix. Boy, I was missing his tunes! Played alongside him a few
years back and was truly missing his stuff... Love his remix, a great mix of house and breaks, a transgenre bomb! Top production! "
Maelstrom "Quality ! lovin the SUAD mix and shooked original 7/10"

WAYS AND MEANS Is a Breakbeat Unit Combining The Production Talent Of Kristian Townsend, Darren Beale of Kosheen, & Gary Eccles.The Boys have Teamed Up To Present You With Exploits In To The World Of Beats And Breaks Under The Rapidly Rising Name Of Ways And Means giving us banging breakbeat slices of solid tech funk breaks, warped bass lines and meaty synth leads that gnarl over sick drum patterns to keep the crowd hype, watch your bassbins! This is their second release for us, following the very succesful 'Bass Bomber' ditty, that made it to the top 10 of the Beatport Breaks chart back in November 2009! This won't be their last release for Dusted Breaks either, with more planned late summer 2010. So keep them eyes peeled for the crew coming straight outta Bristol! Both of their tunes from this release have won DJ support from some massive names such as FAR TOO LOUD, KARTON, D*FUNK, RUN RIOT & So many more!
HOME ALONEAfter more than a decade of playing bass in rock bands across Italy, Dino Z aka Home Alone took it upon himself to learn the crafts of electronic music production. It didn’t take long for acid stalwarts Dead Famous (nominated Best Label at Breakspoll 2010) to take notice of him, and his first release as a techno producer saw the light in January of 2010 in the form of the peak hour warehouse acid vibes of Revolution No. 3 and Get Away From Me. It received positive feedback and support from the techno and breakbeat scenes all over the World! For 2010 Dino is turning more than prolific, with his original and remixed material set to turn up on some of House and Breakbeats best labels! This is another artist to keep you eyes on! His remix of 'Let Me See You Bounce' is prodominently Techno but with a very nice slice of Broken beats running through it! This has seen plays all over the world from the likes of RETROID (Hungary), DANIELLA DOWNS (USA) & LLUPA (Australia) Home Alone Myspace
HELLFIRE MACHINA Prior to the birth of this project in late 2008. Jody Shires and Tom Williams collectively had over 60 releases under their belts, along with production work for grammy nominated artists, numerous UK top ten remixes, 5 Breakspoll Awards, Best International Dj in the Spanish EDM awards 3 years running and a history in bass culture that is second to none.. The year is now 2010, sonic exploration in the realm of bass fueled riddims is the primary mission for Hellfire Machina. With residencies at New Yorks legendary Club Love, Darkroom in Brooklyn and Psychadelic Radio in SF, it's no wonder these guys are in high demand. Ending last year with A and R and project management credits for the Wu Tang 'Enter The Dubstep' album and a string of singles and remixes, they have hit the ground running in 2010 and this remix, as you would imagine with their pedigree, is dubstep of the highest order!! it has so far won over World Famous names such as CUT LA ROC, THE BEAT ASSASINS, HEXADECIMAL, I.D, BEN & LEX, SCHEMA & more!
