  • Next message: mango: "Re: Breaks and samples"

    this weekend my buddies and i reached fever pitch in our giddy excitement
    over the new label Zest, run by Hidden Agenda and releasing some of the best
    breakbeat tracks i've heard in ages that sit firmly inbetween 2-step and
    broken beats. there've been four releases that i know of (each with a
    different fruit on the label), each rolling out ultra-syncopated beats,
    large basslines and off-kilter atmospheres and samples. very heady and very
    funky. our conversations about these records have sounded much like
    secretive drug-deal talk..."yo...i got the lemon and the lime, you got
    anything else?" "yeah, man, i got the KIWI" "you got the kiwi?! shit! i need
    the kiwi!" and so on. :) anyone else been feeling this business?
