Breakestra Dusk Til Dawn
Breakestra - Dusk Till Dawn
(CD/2xLP/Digital) Strut/K7 Strut048CD/LP, 2008-09-28

For 2009, Breakestra return with their long-awaited sophomore set exploring all colours of the funk spectrum. Built around the vision of "Music Man" Miles and Mixmaster Wolf (as well as producing, recording and writing the tracks, Miles performs bass, drums, guitars, cello, keys, percussion and vocals on the record), the trademark Breakestra touches remain intact: Wolf fronts tough breakbeat jams Dark Clouds Rain Soul and Stones Throw single Low Down Stank; Miles himself brings his soulful vocals to Need A Little Love and I Don't Wanna Wait and amazing new female vocalist Afrodyete recalls the heyday of JB's Funky People on the terrific Come On Over. The album even journeys into psychedelic soul (on the fuzzy Show Me The Way) and stripped-back West African farfisa stylings on instrumental cut, North-East To Nippon. Dusk Till Dawn is a tribute to Tackett's late DJ partner at Rootdown, DJ Dusk, whose life was tragically taken in a road accident in 2007. Dusk himself appears alongside Jurassic 5's Chali 2na on the funky rap joint Posed To Be and the album is a fitting tribute to a much-loved L.A. figure and integral member of a scene which has become globally respected.

Saturday 25 December 2004, 13:00 2

Grant Phabao and Djouls Are Molesting Laura Vol.1 (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C. TIMEC079, 2010-08-13 (reissue from 2004-12-25) This was a funny mix to make at the time. I was the first person in the worldwide music medium to listen to and write a review about the infamous Human After All bullshit from Daft Punk, two months before everybody (read it in French here or with some of the 700+ comments I've deleted since here), and as no-one was believing my music detective skills, I decided to spread on Soulseek a bit of proof with this eclectic mix, launched for Xmas 2004,...
