Glen Nicholls better known as Future Funk Squad or FFS has been in the breaks game for a heck of a long time, infact some of my very early vinyl purchases included a variety of his tracks. With an impressive list of tunes, remixes and albums Glen has worked with the best in the industry from UNKLE to The Prodigy to The Crystal Method.

Future Funk Squad has been pushing the sound of Breaks for a very long time. He is one of the very true pioneers from the early nuskool breaks genre and one that has an amazing catalog of music from over the years. This is a brand new mix from FFS, a straight up breaks mix of music from now and from the past.

Future Funk Squad has been around for decades, literally. This mix from way back in 2005 was at the height of the “Nuskool Breaks Era” a time of vinyl only music and a time of various artists spreading the basic music of Breaks. Apparently this mix was for a Japanese site at the time called remixerremix.com.
This mix is part of Breakzlinkz Retro series: www.breakzlinkz.net/retro/
With the recent Raveart Retro Breaks Festival in Seville, Spain (on November the 15th) featuring the likes of Koma and Bones, Chris Carter and Elite Force, etc, Future Funk Squad has been inspired to break out some of the classic Nuskool Breaks tracks we used to hear back in the early 2000’s.
