Greetings Basslickers!
Well with flooding across the UK, lightning storms the likes never seen before, earthquakes and twisters it's clearly been a crazy summer (and probably the end of the world)- and it's only July! So what better to celebrate the end of one of the wettest and most bizarre summers on record than with a rather special basslick party we've got coming up on bank holiday sunday 26th August.
This time we've got a pretty special double whammy of a lineup with two legendary acts in breaks! First of all we're lucky enough to have Eddy Temple Morris of XFM. He's long heralded the sound of breaks on his radio show, "The Mix" the biggest specialist show on Xfm –along with which he holds a residency at Manumission Ibiza (Ibiza Rocks), Remix Night at Cargo (London 3rd Friday of each month).
His recent release 'Dance Rocks' mix album demonstrated his love of breaks to full effect with exclusive tracks by many well known artists along with some of his own remix material amidst a star studded tracklisting of tracks by Prodigy, ILS, Groove Armada, Snow Patrol, Atomic Hooligan, Pendulum, Freestylers, Adam Freeland to name a few.

'the first DJ in our history to get the crowd jumping and singing along BEFORE we get onstage...and he wears a good hat!' (Liam Howlett The Prodigy)
"Eddy is one of the few djs that knows how to whip up a crowd in crazy mental fever pitch..... And keep em there!" (Adam Freeland)
Accompanying Eddy will be one of breaks hottest producing and remixing teams around "The Breakfastaz." With over 20 successful releases and remixes on respected breaks labels such as Passenger, Mob and Against The Grain in little over 2 years, their offerings have received support and heavy rotation from scene stalwarts such as Plump DJs, The Freestylers, Tayo, Ali B, Meat Katie, Aquasky, Krafty Kuts, Deekline and even catching the ear of Zane Lowe, highlighting the enormous impact they’ve had on the scene in such a short period of time. To back up their releases, the guys have been DJing all over the world and have also been invited to do guest shows and interviews on BBC Radio 1 (Annie Mac Mini-Mix & Annie Nightingale)<, even with their lineup partner Xfm’s Eddie Temple-Morris.
Their accolades being featured on the front cover of IDJ’s ‘Players Of The Year 2004’ alongside the likes of Mylo and The Shapeshifters and also winning Best Breakthrough Act at the Breakspoll World Breakbeat Awards 2005,

'The future of UK dance music is safe if the hands of these West London boys!’ – Eddy Temple-Morris,
'The Breakfastaz fire the warning shots of this mobs arrival into the breakbeat premier league…’ – Knowledge
Alongside these legends we welcome back our good breaks buddies from Lowestoft Crackerz and Jam who run the infamous Fat Factory parties. These guys keep going from strength with a jam packed year of bookings and productions currently gaining them respect from Future funk squad and many more breaks heads-they’re definitely ones to watch out for. www.myspace.com/crackerzandjam
-also Mr Tim “switch” Roberts will be returning to supply us with some more of his fantastic electro house/breaks-again his productions are definitely worth checking out - along with a hectic lineup of parties both here and in Ibiza.
