This weeks mix comes from the Broken-Beat Wizard, XL Regular. Hailing from Italy, XL has made a name for himself producing a variety of broken sounds, most notably a number of remixes and collaborations with SofaTalk on Monologues and Lips & Rhythm Records. In April, XL released his first full solo EP ‘XL3000’ on London’s ANMA Records, the EP was an incredible throwback to the classic period of early Broken-Beat and even featured a remix from Bruk legend EVM128.
This weeks mix “is meant to be a selection of new & old favourites, mixing alternative versions of classics (track 3, 10) with unreleased material (track 5,7,9,11) and recent releases. The mood often goes up & down moving from mid tempo jams to a more club oriented environment in the second half.”
