Loopmasters are proud to bring you their latest selection of cutting edge samples and ‘Booty Breaks’ from the powerhouse production unit of Deekline and Ed Solo, which has been executively produced by the great Tim Healey who created our top selling ‘Alternative House’ Sample pack with Marc Adamo earlier this year.

Deekline; DJ, producer, mega hot remixer and founder of Rat Records, Hardcore Beats, Cut & Run, Hot Cakes, Booty Breaks, and Sludge, has come along way since his smash hit "Don't Smoke The Reefer" back in 1998. His unique and ground breaking sound blows up parties the world over, sending shockwaves through the industry leaving others inspired and following in his footsteps.

His single with Ed Solo and Darrison ‘Touch Your Toes’ was signed to Norman Cook’s ‘Skint’ label and went on to full release in the summer of 2006. In his 12-year career Deekline has also been signed to Warner, Super Star, Southern Fried Records, Supercharged, Botchit & Scarper, and Against The Grain and his own Rat Records label, and continues to work with heavyweight producers such as Tim Healey, Wizard, Ed Solo, DJ Assault, DJ Fresh, Stanton Warriors, Arthur Baker, Freestylers, and Fort Knox Five.

Fabriclive.37: Caspa & Rusko Review by Norman Mayers on Urban BreakBeat
Review by Norman Mayers for www.urban-breakbeat.com

Dubstep has emerged in recent years as the offspring of drum & bass. Instead of taking the beats faster, the sounds have taken a step back, as dubstep slows down the pace yet ramps up the darkness. For many (myself including) dubstep is simply too dark, taking the heaviest elements of DnB and making them even scarier by adding droning, plodding basslines, and science fiction samples. But if you have been on the fence about the whole dubstep thing, then Caspa & Rusko might just be the DJs to change your mind. With Fabriclive.37, this London duo have combined the best elements of dub reggae, drum & bass, breaks and garage into a rather appealing package.

Reid Speed interview on Urban BreakBeat

Interview by Norman Mayers for www.urban-breakbeat.com

Reid Speed isn’t new to the dance world. Beginning her career as a clerk at New York’s legendary Breakbeat Science, Reid emerged in the early 2000s as one of the few female faces in the drum & bass scene, becoming an instant underground hero with her girly looks and New York attitude. She has released a few major mix CDs, appeared in Triple Five Soul ads, DJed for Jamie Kennedy’s show, and received ink in major publications like Urb. But with the changing music scene, Reid did the unthinkable. She moved from New York to Los Angeles and started making a name for herself as a breakbeat DJ. The change has worked and Reid continues to be one of the most booked female DJs in the US, switching styles from breaks to DnB, depending on the occasion. But it’s her commitment to the scene and culture that has truly kept her relevant in these fickle times. A down-to-earth personality and unquestionable skills and charisma on the decks are just icing on the cake.
