DJ Enki--"Break It Down" breaks mix out now!



I've finally dropped my first straight-up breaks mix, a snazzy CD called "Break It Down" that's a trip through some of the best snippets of my record collection. I didn't want this to just be me backspinning doubles of various breaks, so I put it together in more compositional style, stacking loops and fluidly moving from break to break. To hear what I mean, check out these sample snippets:

"Break It Down" snippet 1

"Break It Down" snippet 2

You can cop this thing right now from the fine folks at The Giant Peach, or drop me a line. It should be available from other websites soon as well.

I just received my copy today. This is brilliant. Sincerely nice work!

If any of you jerks have not purchased this CD yet, you're stupid idiots and big jerks.

Jerks.

Heed the words of Tapes, y'all.

Also, I'm happy to report that this CD is now available at the legendary Turntable Lab site.

Thanks for the support, man!

And yeah, that whole "doubling up on breaks" thing is exactly what I didn't want to do. I'm into breaks like that, but I wanted to present them in a different, more engaging way.
