Breakbeat Massive Everything from Hip-Hop to Drum and Bass, Breaks to Dub Step!!! A group for everyone who thrives off breakbeats!!!
Back in 2005, when the world was bright and new and Myagi was a name synonymous with funk sampling big beat records, the alias Sole Claw was coined to allow an outlet for Myagi's deeper, harder edged sounds. The 3 Sole Claw records released on Pure Phunk Recordings each received near perfect reviews in all the dance press at the time, with the undisputed highlight being "Smartbomb," one of the best selling breaks tracks to come out of the albeit spartan North American breakbeat scene. The track was hammered by all the big guys, and even was selected by the Plump DJs (along with tracks by the Freestylers, Lee Coombs and Madox - aka Riva Starr) to be used on their artist album "Saturday Night Lotion" on the top breaks label of all time, Fingerlickin Records.
Here we are 4 years later, and though the track has aged well, there's certainly room for improvement, and its about time this dancefloor smasher was brought up to date by some of the best new and established artists across multiple genres.
First up is Pop And Lock's honcho Myagi, who rides the line between updating and remixing the track, taking what was already a bona fide classic and amping it up with new rolling techy vibes, extra acidic synths and hits, and even bigger builds. Right from the bitcrushed intro and first drop to the pitched down seconds of the finale, this mangled reworking is essential peak time fodder for breaks and tech djs all over. Hard hitting breaks and throbbing bass elements juxtapose with chilled out pads in the same manner as the original, making the peaks and lows something to behold.
