Skool Of Thought – Heavyweight Breaks 2020

pecoe

 

 

“Heavyweight Breaks 2020 is a snapshot of the hottest bass fueled breaks released over the past 12 months mixed by myself Skool of Thought.

Those of you who have been following me will know I released the first Heavyweight Breaks mix CD on SuperCharged back in 2002. The approach for that mix then is the same now – 10 extremely carefully selected tracks which showcase the very best of the scene.

The trick for me has always been to select tracks that are bass-heavy without being tear-out and uplifting without being cheesy.” – SOT

 

 

 

 

Krafty Kuts & Skool Of Thought – Kiss 100 FM Breakbeat Show – 19.1.2002

pecoe

 

 

Starting back in 1998 (I think) was the Kiss 100 FM Breakbeat Show hosted by Danny McMillan a true advocate of the breakbeat genre from it’s early beginnings and who even had his own label. This mix from 2002 is from Krafty Kuts & Skool Of Thought who at the time ran a night in Brighton UK called Supercharged, a place where the now dons of breakbeat used to play every weekend. The Supercharged night soon turned into a label and saw some of the best Nuskool Breaks tunes of the day. This is a pretty cool mix when tunes were a lot more simple.
