Jay Cunning and Atomic Hooligan, 2 of the pioneers in the very early Nu Skool Breaks scene and 2 stand up guys that still push the development of music as DJ’s today with their own DJ Academy “On The Rise“. This mix was recorded LIVE back in 2003 at Esparrago Rock in Spain, back when vinyl was king and the Nu Skool Breaks sound was as popular as ever.
Hybrid was founded by Chris Healings and Mike Truman. Since first bursting onto the scene with the now classic album Wide Angle in 1999, the Swansea, Wales-based Hybrid have been known as one of the most forward thinking and technically skilled acts in electronic dance music. Blurring the line between in-studio production and live presentation, Hybrid are one of the few remaining dance acts to perform live with a classic band setup.
Their unique style of everything progressive has lead them to international start status, producing music for movies and tv shows as well.

“This mix really shows the diversity of the genre currently and also shows how the roots of breakbeats and UKG can come to the forefront of this genre and still sound fresh and unique. I wanted to show that in this mix, which includes a few tracks I produced as well as some great music by some fantastic artists. Enjoy!”
