New Tune Tuesday

Some serious work being done by Rebel Sketchy on the latest Ground Level release Square Dance.  A progressive and melodic but techy intro take you into the world of breakbeat through an atmostpheric breakdown.  A rolling techy grinder with a side of funk is the best way I can put it.  Some choice sound design here and a lead synth reminiscent of Groove Allegiance and Malente brought me back.  Along on this release is the Lo IQ? mix but wait, THERE'S MORE!  A free tunes never did any harm so here ya go!

Being a long time breaks listener I'm quite familiar with the work on Bombtraxx.  Bombtraxx is dedicated to the techy and aggressive side of breaks but that doesn't mean they've lost the funk.  Quadrat Beat and Chevy One bring it to you proper with their own spin on The Day Before.  The original mixes catchy melodic build drops into a breaky grinder that progresses with more complex shuffled hats and pleasing synth stabs.  I have to say it has a killer fill right before the last drop!  The Chevy One mix takes a slightly more aggressive take with retains enough melodic elements of the original to keep those dancing shoes moving.  With higher pitched slightly squelchy stabs I'm a huge fan.  The half-time breakdown to dubstep for a couple measures at a time really kicks it into high gear when it drops back into breaks.  Check the tracks and follow Bombtraxx for release updates!

I've mentioned him before, and he's back again, KWeRK is dropping some serious breakbeat heat with his latest work in progress The Werkout.  I talk to Ian on a regular basis and he tipped me off to this unsigned tune with great responses and wanted me to have a listen.  I put on the cans and was in it from the beginning.  I really like the wind up into the bass heavy lead breakdown in the beginning.  Another element that I really dig about his work in general is the variety of sound choice.  Progressive synths along with grinding sub bass and distorted leads coupled with b boy vocals get me every time.  Check his other tunes and look for an EP coming soon!  Keep KWeRK'n it...
