Now for something a little different.
An interview with the breakbeat guru Adam Freeland. The artist who had the world at his feet and quit the music life to literally go live in a desert. Topics covered include surviving off-grid, too many breakbeat bootlegs, why he quit DJing and is now back at it, the reverb found in Canyons and Bill Hicks.
I guess Peaceful has his or hers own mixing style and selection of broken beat music but still i enjoy listening to the some what weird collection of beats and nothing changes in this his newest addition to his Soundcloud, “Quasar”. Just a reminder you can now download all of Peaceful’s mixes.

Peaceful returns with another eclectic mix of broken beat from all over the spectrum, not sticking to the norm Peaceful mixes together some lesser known tracks.
Peaceful has now also made all of his mixes available for a Free Download.
Neon Steve is more then on point with this mix and the state of the world right now. This is no straight up breaks, funky breaks or any genre of breakbeat mix it is however a mix of music to help you through these tough times.
Here’s the burb from Steve …..
“This might be the most important mix of 2020 and the only thing that should be going viral right now. Shout out to all the Health Care workers fighting this pandemic on the frontlines (my amazing wife Carly being one of them) … While I’m being silly with this mix in some parts I assure you I do not take this situation lightly. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this #coronavirus situation for weeks so I decided instead of fighting it, to just channel all that energy into a mixtape . I feel useless sitting at home out of work while Carly is in the trenches so this is my way of helping the cause and hopefully driving home the importance of flattening the curve to our generation right now. I’ve put well over 100 hours in to this compiling songs and news/podcast/movie clips and was updating them until yesterday so all the info is correct up until today at least. I don’t have any fan gates on this one so please help by sharing and tagging friends on whatever platform you choose ?? I just want it to spread quicker than Covid-19 is to get the message out and provide some entertainment for everyone while we’re all staying home … Big love to all of you out there! We are making a difference in how many lives are being lost to this and how hard the healthcare system is getting hit but we can always do better and there’s still a lot of people not taking it as seriously as they should.” – NS

Funkanomics were are force to be reckoned with back in the beginning of the Ghetto Funk genre producing some unique tunes and remixing some of the top names around. Lately though they have been pretty quite when it comes to producing music.
One part of the Funkanomics is still playing gigs and DJing though and this is a brand new mix from him featuring all sorts of genres throughout.
