BoomBox Records news More Boom For Ya Box mixed by Mole & Aya What people are sayin

Notion Founded in 1996 and one of the UK’s longest running labels in the field of breaks, BoomBox Records has always remained dedicated to releasing quality, quality music. To celebrate ten years in the breakbeat biz, ‘More Boom For Ya Box’ offers 17 tracks that really show off BoomBox’s knack for putting out future classics. There is no doubt that Mole and Aya have dug deep into their back catalogue for 60 minutes or so of classics and my gosh, has it worked well! After a comical intro it all kicks off with JB’s re-edit of ‘Who Da Fuck’ by Semi-Detached, an eleven year old track which still manages to sound box-fresh. You’re broken in by a couple of warm-up tracks, then, predictably, the thumping breaks for which BoomBox is known for takes over. There’s a bit of an electro flavour in there and a few darker tracks that will catch many people off guard. A 1999 release for none other than beat guru General Midi has a bassline to melt everyone’s butter with ‘The Westerner,’ while the notorious Mr Nubreed is on board for beat duties for the final last stomper. This saucy mix of old and new and light and dark will ensure a wide range of people enjoy this compilation. My only gripe is the lack of a second disc: it would have been interesting to have Mole doing one and Aya the other…but hey, I’m happy! OW

Twenty 4 Seven Breakbeat mix from 90s to present, featuring highlights from the label, with plenty of variation in style. One regular theme here is upfront, with nothing too dark or messy. My favourite track is „Bassline‰, the superb dubbed out acid corker from Semi-Detached, who also provide opening track „Who Da Fuck‰. Bring on the summer, innit. 9/10

DJ Yummy beats & breaks Another label passes the decade mark, so it’s a trawl  through the back catalogue for mix-tape highlights. bridging the divide between electro, b-boy-tinged breaks and even the occasional 4/4 it’s a consummate mix that provides energy and dynamism in equal measures.

  M8 Mole and Aya, label owners take us on a musical journey through the Boombox annals. With tracks dating back ten years from some very notable names in the breaks scene, some of whom were, then just starting out. This is a very tasty little mix cd indeed with plenty of styles of breaks in the 53 minutes, keeping things fresh and interesting for the listener at all times and showcasing the label’s high level of quality control. There’s an overriding linear electro feel to the early part of the mix which starts to wind up a bit with a distinctly old-school hip-hop slant to the breaks and general attitude. Things then start to take on an altogether more ‘modern’ disguise by stripping back the beats, slinging in a few glitches and expanding the sound into more cinematic territory.  Standouts are the excellently, sleazy electroid bass filth from Slung Groove - Kick Flip - (Laidback Rmx)  complete with its unexpected funky 70s flavoured edits, General Midi’s ‘Westener’ and later in the mix the Rio Rhythm Band ‘Carnival De Casa’- (Christian J Rmx) kicks in and the party erupts. Excellent tight production, a rasping, seared bass and 4/4 beats sprinkled with generous amounts of sexy, sultry Latin, full bodied samba attitude. A complete, rounded mix that takes in a lot of styles.

One Week To Live A retrospective of all of the BoomBox label’s finest moments since 1996. Mole & Aya’s future funk is propelled by plenty of hip hop samples and touches like old school rave drum breaks. Paying attention to the traditional musical journey arrangement, the pair ease into the mix and slide out of it just as comfortably. The ‘Boom’ gets going with the plodding Death Star menace of Semi-Detached’s ‘Who Da Fuck’, and finds a compatible opposite in Nubreed’s ‘Neptune Beach’ come closing time. Breaks dressed in chillout’s clothing features rippling waves and fresh air against distorted bass. The blood and guts of the mix never seems to explode. It imposes its authority clinically, regularly showing its teeth and threatening to boil over. But it’s a shipshape process that isn’t really grabbed by the scruff of the neck. ‘The Only Thing’ by DJ Crow, taking its cue vocally from Funkey Lovers’ ‘Pussy Lovers’, hints at such a flare-up with bass-powered drive, carried on by Sifter & Adan’s ‘Heyflicker’. Swells of tracky synth filters and incisive basslines are provided by General Midi and Don Diablo, whose rather pumping ‘Down The Drain’ creates breaks’ own version of ‘Another One Bites The Dust’. The surround sound snake ‘Come Closer’ by Digital Breaks Foundation embodies the breaks patent, adjusted by Sifter & Adan’s mix of DBF’s ‘Way Back’ so it can open its stride onto a 4x4 floor. There’s a dub flavour to Semi-Detached’s ‘Bassline’, and Friednly’s ‘Greedy’ sounds like Jabba the Hutt clearing his throat on backing vocals. All contribute to making first-timers understand BoomBox’s ultra consistency. Though Mole & Aya’s mix doesn’t show off, it’s worth 55 minutes of your time.

Apply The Breaks BoomBox the label that has helped launch the careers of household names such as General Midi and Friendly is celebrating 10 years this year with a tour and the release of this mix compilation of their best selling tunes of the last 10 years. A collection of genre defining tracks, that have featured in the boxes of the major players, this is great listening material, and a perfect summary of the labels history.
