breakdown.

breakdown are a dj and producers collective from california consisting of reid speed and the brothers josh david and matt david. in 2005 they started throwing the 'breakdown' parties together and over the years they have focused more and more on production which was a pretty good decision as they hooked me up with a lot of material and every single track is just so slamming that i just have to post them all. breakdown already received big support for their tracks from the likes of z-trip, twocker, bass kleph as well as discodust favorites guns n bombs and rico tubbs.

the breakdown sound is very bass heavy and mainly electro house based while always keeping a fidget vibe and being much more playful than the majority of any comparable tracks with huge drops and breakdowns (no pun intended) reminding me of well arranged drum & bass and jump up tunes. first up are two banging originals which you might have already seen posted somewhere else but for a proper introduction, they need to go first:

breakdown - feel this
breakdown - do what i want

and because all of them are just too good, here are some really well done remixes of the early breakbeat hymn 'on a ragga tip' by sl2, an unreleased dj kue track featuring vocals from the n.w.a. anthem 'dopeman' (eazy-e rest in peace) and the dj dan classic 'that zipper anthem', each of them are perfect crowdpleasers:

sl2 - on a ragga tip (breakdown remix)
dj kue - don't get high (breakdown remix)
dj dan - that zipper track (breakdown remix)

and i still can't stop now, as breakdown also hooked me up with the most recent dj remix of their very own reid speed who takes you on a constantly banging bass heavy ride with her brandnew summer mix. tracklisting after the jump.

reid speed - breakdown beats the heat summer mix

show breakdown some myspace love! and once again i have to send shoutouts to get weird turn pro for first bringing breakdown to my attention. it always seems to be the same blogs where i find good music recently, always get weird turn pro and discobelle. i am not sure if this means our tastes are alike and i need to become a little more diverse or if everyone else needs to step their game up (whoa, evil eh), up to you to decide.
