The breakbeat lattice


In the beginning darkness moved across the face of the waters until a splash was heard. The splash was constant, it had rhythm and the rhythm became beat and God saw the beat was good, so he broke it and the beat was made better...Can i get an amen brother ???And the beat was told 'go forth and multiply' and it did.

Eventually it came to pass, that with the rise of the technobots,
did the age of the machine dawn and the beat morphed and changed to become firmly embedded in electronicas dna matrix.

What may have been merely a continuum in linear sense from a fixed starting point became as the aboriginal dreaming. An interwoven lattice of real and hyperreal. A non local phenomenon crossing space and time...



Chronicling the breakbeat across many a genre that resonated with my being thru the ages and making a mix of truly epic proportions, sliced diced and served up cold became a mild obsession. It soon became apparent though, that i wasnt the one to do it and by doing so i would fix the linearity of a continuum i wasn't sure existed.

So here by way of a folder you can randomize such that no 2 repeat listenings are in the same order is 300mb/4hrs of 44 tunes in their virtual entirety underpinned by the cosmic constant of the funky lattice...THE ALMIGHTY BREAKBEAT
