RELEASES

Another release for Dead Famous and another new artist full of promise in the form of Sicilian boy wonder Break the Box. Following in the footsteps of other Italian giants like Madox and Santos you can feel the Mediterranean flavour in Luigi Barones music, with healthy doses of tech and funk laid over solid breakbeats. With a string of releases on the way on labels including Breakin Even, BassTard, Big Square and Ritmic, 2007 is set to be Break the Box's year.

A: Go Easy

"Right on the money! Will be hammering this in Miami. Summer comes early this year. Must be global warming..."

AA: Elastik Funk

The flip side adds a slab of funk to the package, funk with balls of steel. A great introduction to the Dead Famous syndicate. Take a bow son...

Other support Tony Tay, Groove Diggers, Jariten (SOH), Jannette Slack, Kickflip, MOve Ya & Steve Lavers, Mr No Hands, Systematica Records, Bengston, Jinx, Will White, Maddox

A: NEW WORLD ORDER

AA: THE TRUTH

Robosapiens have made a real impact over the last year with original works and remixes gaining high profile support and club plays and DF05 is set to push them even further into the breakbeat limelight. The next installment from one of the UK’s freshest breakbeat duos combines a high-octane Stephen Hawking-sampling dancefloor bullet with a deeper track for the head and feet.

First up is New World Order, a main-room monster that sets driving bass and punchy drums high on the agenda along with warped alien sounding synths. The tune impressed Japan’s ‘Black Building Crew’ so much that up-and-coming graphic designer Taichi Ito has created a stunning video to accompany the track… watch in fear as the Robosapiens pick off the breakbeat old guard one by one in true assassin style to establish the New World Order

On the flip The Truth is an altogether deeper and more brooding beast of a tune. Getting just the right blend of darkness and light, the Robosapiens have created an anthem for late-night dancefloors with a warm twisted bassline and rolling drums. Notepads at the ready fact fans - the vocal sample has been liberated from American Gothic, a series as menacing as the tune itself.

As always the record comes with a graphic of someone famous and dead, and time was up for Richard Whiteley. Gone but not forgotten.
