We are very proud to announce the latest Z Records compilation. Compiled by Dave Lee & Will Fox this album focusses on the ‘Broken Beat’ sound born in West London. Featuring sleeve notes from Mr Beatnick. Officially drops on all formats on 11th September 2020.
“As a music lover I was always a fan of the broken beat records that came out of west London in the late 90s/early 2000s. I preferred the jazzier soulful end of it to the harder edged drum driven, rap led bruk sound. Like Jungle & UK garage it was a very UK sound, but one that spread worldwide, be it on a very underground level. So there’s songs on here from Germany (Jazzanova and Lars Bartkuln) Japan (Jazztronik and Hajime Yoshizawa ) to represent that. When putting this album together it is hard not to notice the presence of Kaidi Taitum on many of the songs, he was such an instrumental force in the evolution of the sound. ‘Breaking the Beats’ isn’t a best of broken beat album and due to some licensing issues we were unable to include every song I would have liked but I think it does give the listener a good taste of the sound.” Dave Lee, 2020
