This Slyde re-rub went down massively at Stanton Sessions, Cable last weekend featuring samples from Kanye West’s ‘Power’ and The Incredible Bongo Band classic ‘Apache’. Slyde most def played the best set in my opinion, big up and cheers for the freebie!

Bam! IBreaks bounces back for 2012 with two simply enormous slammers from breakbeat don Colombo. If this man’s tracks haven’t been in your box over the past 12 months then you’ve clearly been living somewhere out near Alpha Centauri: The young Spanish producer and former BSD member has taken the scene by storm since going solo and here takes things to a whole new level.
Clap Your Hands combines a funky James Brown sample with a monstrous 303 line and the toughest tech funk drums for a clarion call to the dancefloor that will have ‘em jumping round the room like ants on a hot plate. Double A side Clubbing sends a chunky rolling breakbeat firing over Balearic guitar, sumptuous strings and a healthy dose of red hot funk for a tune that will have you wishing it was summer already.
No-one else does it quite like Colombo and these two tracks are likely to be flying high at the top of the breaks charts for several weeks to come. Grab these promos now before the great unwashed get their dirty mitts on them! (iBreaks SC, 2012)
Release Date: Jan 30, 2012

Serious big up to Future Swing Stories for mixing/passing us this amazing ghetto swing mix! Most definitely one of the best electronic swing mixes I’ve heard – probably due to the perfect balance of dirt, hip hop beats, bass, swing and ghettoness. Show em some love by tuning in below and downloading it from their FB page! Here’s a lil’ description text:
The first half of the 20th century saw periods of prohibition of the bottle in several countries around the world. Prohibition became increasingly unpopular during the Great depression, with Bootleggers, Rum runners and organised crime syndicates cashing in on this, the streets were a muck but the speakeasy’s flourished making way for an extraordinary time for music, a time of elegance, grandeur and down right naughtiness.
This mix attempts to translate the period of prohibition in the United States, from inception to ratification and the dry bits in between. (Future Swing Stories SC, 2011)
