With a blinding start to the year, Jamie @Rektchordz Smithson has chucked himself into the new year full-bore and he's hungry. Being as 2011 was a good year, I ask him what he has planned for the rest of this as I ask him about his goals after his latest release 'I Can't Take It Anymore' - see below , using real instruments in EDM and remixing the current Beatport Breaks number one. Does it seem like a while ago now since the 'Grime Vibration' release? [...]
With a few revamps, a couple of exclusives and all in all some stunning, funky and fat releases, this mix shows the diversity of one of breakbeats top dogs - @Eliteforce. Recorded live at Rough Tempo Radio on Wednesday 18th January the set was a mix of electro-funk, techy breaks and the occasional filthy bassline with a full to the brim chat-room, the tunes were mixed and blended smoother than a banana daiquiri. The ' Exclusives ' in the set were U&A Recordings - Elite Force's own label - forthcoming [...]
Future Sound of Breaks in one of those quintessential parties that has grown and grown in both size and popularity over the 9 years of its existence. What started out as a single room breakbeat party will this year be a "5 room massive showcasing breakbeat, electro bass, dubstep, drum & bass and bassline breaks". This year's party promises to be as exciting as the rest, which have been known to go strong into the wee hours of the morning. Taking place at Mekka, FSOB this year will play host to a slew of exclusive sets including a special Dirtyphonics [...]

Sometimes you don't get a lot of information about an artist. Sometimes you get two sentences, like below, and the music does the talking. Sometimes it doesn't work out and some times it does work out, in Rektchordz case it does, as the guy is an epic talent and knows how to construct a tune and a half (check the link to the Calvin Harris remix below). If that wasn't enough, the guy also knows how to spin as well. Rektchordz (aka Jamie Smithson) has been a [...]

Recently, a few of the top producers in the TechFunk scene have compiled samplepacks to help further spread the sound among would be's and could be's. These collections (regardless of genre) were a way too overlooked arena for a number of years, and now with their booming popularity and growing list of artists joining into the foray, it's easy to gauge their value, allowing the budding producer to utilize high quality ready made parts, and often even creating a launchpad for ones' own ideas. A definite head start for any up and comer, and certainly useful additions to the arsenal [...]

One of U&A's favourite sonz, Rektchordz , threw us a brand new 320 for free download. As the story goes, the death of a hardrive left this remix without the requisite dub version (as ever, the vocals won't be for everyone). The track, a remix of Backbeat Sounsystem - Daily Grind , sees the young tech-funk superhero on prime form, throwing down a chunky breaks roller. Enjoy - and don't forget to follow him on SOUNDCLOUD . [...]
