Following
a spate of rammed breakbeat sweat-a-thons in the
pressure cooker environs of The Bug Bar in Brixton,
the guys behind Breaks FM (the world's only radio
station devoted entirely to the genius of the
breakbeat?) are rolling out the concept in an
attempt to wake Londoners into the realisation of
the indigenous movement that is gaining more
support worldwide than in its own back
yard.
While
four-to-the-floor music bashes out from a myriad of
venues across the capital on a Friday night, the
Imperial Gardens in Camberwell plays host to a
night of full-on breakbeat energy- a relentless
barrage of beats and basslines from some of the
leading lights of the UK batch of DJs and producers
who are living and breathing this music.
The
driving force of this night, and the radio station
itself, are Klaus from Tek-Ed
and the Sonz
of Mecha,
all of whom have combined in the determination to
drum up a movement in the capital to raise interest
and awareness of what breakbeat is all about, and
most importantly to get people through the doors
and going mental on the dancefloor. Finding the
right venue, as Klaus explains, has been one of the
major obstacles, and the turn-out tonight is a
little disappointing, although the jacking
dancefloor stay happily oblivious throughout the
night due to the sheer quality and energy of the
music.
Dez
Ingram (Makesome
Breaksome)
lays the foundations early on by hoisting bodies
away from the bar and into the compelling thrust of
a vibe that is maintained all night, with a
storming final set from Klaus, right through until
the last few people on the dancefloor have to be
ushered gently away towards their beds. Look out
for these parties, tune in to the station, and
watch it grow and grow.
Breaks
FM is broadcasting in the London area at
103.2FM
