Dirty Beat Breakin Funk And Hip Hop – Breakin Bread

Label: Breakinbread

Skeg and Rob Life started Breakin’ Bread as a club night in 1998 before it morphed into a label releasing numerous 7”s, 12”s, CD’s and LP’s. Now the whole fabulously grubby event has metamorphosed into one dirtybeatbreakinfunkandhiphop series of compilations beginning with The Deadly 7 Sins in 2001 (selling over 10,000 copies worldwide) and evolving into this, their second release and handpicking the finest beat bakin tunes since the pair’s last release. And for those who’ve got most of this loaf already, there’s also a couple of brand new tracks.

Scratchy, dirty and bristling over with banana-strippin exotica from the likes of latin funky groovers like ‘To The Sun’ from Natural Self and Keno and The Hermits’s foot struttin ‘Batidas Latinas’, it’s a sleazy, intelligent mix of the superbly loose and baggy and a whole library of vaguely familiar samples ripped straight from the drive of experience, flipped and shaken to taste.

Terrifically old school and horny. In fact, first class horn.
