Music Review: Digital Breaks Foundation & Retroid - No Remorse

Release date: June 27, 2011

Digital Breaks Foundation & Retroid - No Remorse by Ego Shot Recordings

ORIGINAL MIX

After the success of their first collaboration "Nightfall", DBF and Retroid return with a storming psy-soaked breaks track. The track begins with a thumping beat over the top of a constantly growing bass that evolves and mutates towards a techy and mechanical breakdown. The ghosts of the machine come out to haunt us with striking synths flitting in and out before unleashing in full force with the pumping beats and bass pushing the track to it's very limit. Drop this in the middle of your breaks sets to lure even the most hardcore breakers into a false sense of security!

BIG MISTAKE REMIX

Big Mistake takes the techy elements of the original and gives them a reboot that begins with the signature psybreaks sound - we've got bleeps and blips, mechanical vox and synth stabs being pushed along with a fantastic raspy, dirty bassline. The break features pumping half-stepped beats, gorgeous arpeggios and an anthemic lead which, when coupled with the variation of the bass from the beginning,  propel the track into hands-in-the-air dancefloor territory. Clocking in at over 10 mins and always keeping your interest, you'll be hard pushed to find a better bargain!

MDK REMIX

Hungarian producer MDK is becoming well-known for his uplifting interpretations of breaks tracks and this is a perfect example of his work. Scattered blips and peak time synth work start us off before continuing over the top of a deep, full bass groove that will have your bones shaking and smiling throughout your body. As the groove continues, tech fx and soundscapes are introduced, faded out and evolved into lead counter-melodies. A great track to drop when your set needs a bit of a breather without losing any of the energy!

Interview: MDK is fresh, young and (from) Hungary

Boba continues his journey into the progressive and melodic depths of worldwide breakbeat

This week we have a chat and take a look at the rhythmical sounds of MDK. The fresh young talent coming out of Budapest has only had one release and one remix under his belt but is one to watch in the future.

Check out a future teaser production from MDK coming soon on Ridiculoud and a free cheeky download mash up of his awesome original release Our Plan on Digital Sensation UK with New Order's Jetstream.

For the people who dont know you, who, were and what is MDK?
Hi everyone. I am a music producer from Hungary, Budapest. I am 25 years old, and I started making music in 2005.

What does MDK stand for?

The MDK name comes from my old favourite game.

Tell us a bit about your background outside of music?

I am looking for work currently and continue with my university studies in September. I like playing football and I am very interested in space research.

How long have you been making music and what made you start producing breakbeat?

I have been making music since 2005, and finished my first breakbeat track in 2010. This was a remix of Luqas - Replicant on Dead Famous.

You have a release on DSUK and a remix on Dead Famous. What else can we look forward to in the future from MDK?

In the future expect some more original and remixes. At the moment I am working on a Home Alone remix and an original track for Ridiculoud Records. I also have some stuff coming out on Scarcity and Distorsion Records.

There is some real special sounding music coming out of Hungary, Retroid, 9BO, Beatman and Ludmilla. Is the breakbeat sound reaching a lot of people in Hungary and what other producers should we be keeping an ear on?

The truth is they are the best Hungarian producers. But I would also include Aeron Aether and Krum. These guys are making awesome music!

What is your music studio set up?

I have two PCs, MNC speakers, a Behringer mixer, two Omnitronic 4250 turntables, two Stage Line CD-30DJs, and a Reloop rmx 20 mixer.

Which producers are you feeling right now and which artists have inspired you in the past?

My favourite producers. Hmm, it's a good question. This would be Beatman & Ludmilla, Eshericks, Deenk, Aggresivnes, Factorfunk, Fisso & Spark, Imprintz and KloƩ, Under This.

Three big breakbeat tunes you are feeling right now?

I have loved many many productions but my current top three is:

Refracture - Free Man (Eshericks remix)
Beatman & Ludmilla - In Breaks We Trust
Farace - Move on (Deenk remix)

Final words:
I am very grateful you gave a thought to me. I don't know what to say, but many thanks guys.
