Progressive Breaks - A Retrospective

Ya'll know it, ya'll love it (well, maybe lol)...was bored yesterday so decided to fish out 11 of my favs from that circa 2003 era of progressive breaks deliciousness and through them together in whatever haphazard way I could.

Just under 100MB, 192Kps MP3 found here...

I have the track listing if anyone wants it...but it's tracks from Bedrock, EQ, GU, Electrofly, Kilowatt, Release, SOG, MTheory, Cold Harbour and 3BeatBreaks.

1 mix just isn't right, mixed it too early, too much going on, tracks don't quite work together, but shit happens. And one mix I wanted to make loooooooong to get really far into the new track, so mixed over the last breakdown, didn't quite catch the drop right, but it's only a few secs of iffyness before dutifully corrected. Other than that, all pretty solid, and hey, not a mix to get me gigs or nothing, just did it for fun and knew some of you lot would like it.

Peace.

i love reign such a fantastic tune - especially the epic 12 minute version

downloading mix now - sure it'll be a keeper by the tracklisting.

My fav version is the original, which is the one on this mix...none of the official released remixs touched it imo.

Shame the mix into that isn't the best. The Emerald remix is really long, wanted to cut it short, but as such, there' just too much still happpening in the track when the mix starts, so I think it sounds a but cluttered and the mix kinda ends a bit too abrasively.

Perhaps I'm just being hyper critical of myself though...let me know what you think!

10. Hyper vs General Midi – We’ve Been Waiting For You [Kilowatt]

Tune

Bout time you got into some fun beats again pete

Didn't think you'd call prog breaks "fun"

That general midi/hyper tune is the sickness, eh? Love the off kilter/half speed intro...bitch to mix though!

I`m worried we`d lost you to the gay side forever lol

hey pete, i was recently listening to your set from the casio circus a few months back. it's fucking phenomenal man. refined selection, well mixed and great progression. you are a great dj. looking forward to checking out this mix

Shot! Cheers man! That was one hell fun gig...playing before someone like Phil K was a treat...you know you're free to push things around in slightly different directions.

I'm yet to hear that mix (heylady!!! ) but getting a copy soon, once my girl gets back from a wee holiday back there!

yes yes yall.. it will be ready for you when sez gets here! must get that copy over to that lad in melb for you also..

Seems like as good a place as any to post my set from Brown Alley rooftop from Friday 30/10 (Rene Amesz gig)

Not quite all breaks, but 2 of the 4/4 tracks have a breakbeat change!
