BROKEN BEAT // 4 Hero // Bugz In The Attic // Zed Bias // Jazzanova // Spiritual South // Switch //

I've always loved broken beat since Gilles Peterson introduced it to me in the early 2000s. It's got all the production values of UK garage but with a jazzy percussive intelligence. This is a mix of my favourites, many of which I first heard on Gilles Peterson radio shows or compilations. As you'd predict if you're into the genre, it heavily features 4 Hero, Jazzanova, Vikter Duplaix, Spiritual South and of course Bugz In The Attic. I've also included my own remix of Martina Camargo's Guataquí, which owes a lot to Bugz's sound.
