What a crazy couple of years we have had! The breaks scene in general has gone from strength to strength, due to the passion of many DJs, promoters, producers, labels, clubs, bars, radio stations, record stores and of course YOU - the clubber who is feelin the phatness!!
Since its inception February 2002, Breakers Delight has become renowned as the event to attend if you enjoy phat ass breakbeats, the occasional pint and general messiness.
The phat one like B.L.I.M. featured at our very first Breakers Delight, so when he told us he was headin back down under and was gaggin to get back to NZ we jumped at the chance to get his ass back here. Not just Auckland though, this time Breakers Delight embarks on its first nationwide tour busting out the phat breaks with B.L.I.M. in Nelson, Christchurch and Auckland. A couple of insane weeks lie ahead!!
THE BLURB STEEZ:
If you asked any of the respected breakbeat producers who they rated highly in the scene, no matter what particular tip they're on, you could guarantee that one name would be right up there - B.L.I.M. He's a Producer/Remixer & International DJ based in East London.
He started his recording career as a Drum N Bass artist releasing many tunes on Emotif and SOUR before moving over to Botchit & Scarper when he caught the breaks bug a few years ago.
Beginning his musical life from a classical orchestral base of piano and violin, he's used his musical knowledge to produce some of the most influential breaks in the world. He has remixed a series of landmark tunes for Circulation, Hooj, Moving Shadow and Mute and his rework of Anthony Rother's 'Red Light District' was selected by Dave Clarke for his World Service compilation. His collaborations with Freq Nasty have produced some memorable remixes included Steve Reich's 'Desert Music' and Metisse's 'Sousound'.
As a Botchit artist, B.L.I.M. produced the Detroitesque 'Chronologic' which has become a breaks scene classic, as has his collaboration with Chris Carter and Shara Nelson ,'U', another 'must have' tune , neatly combining 'Nu Skool' sentiments with a vocal to die for. Aside from being busy playing league football, B.L.I.M. has also set up his own label 'Track' which has seen releases from himself, Chris Carter and Rennie Pilgrem and been hard at it on the remix front, remixing such luminaries as Blame and Luke Slater amongst others.
And who can forget the monster tunes 'Eskimo' and '2 Freaks' produced with TCR top dog Rennie Pilgrem. He continues to DJ all over the world - in such far flung places as the USA, Spain, Budapest and Hong Kong to name but a few.
After the success of his first compilation for TCR 'Modernizm', B.L.I.M has finished his long-overdue and excellent artist album 'Lost in Music'. Collaborating with old favourites Rennie Pilgrem and Chris Carter as well as the likes of Meat Katie this has been one of Breakbeats most eagerly anticipated albums and it's in stores now!
