5.0 out of 5 stars Tight, high energy music, January 7, 2010

This review is from: 21st Century Breaks (3 Cd Set) (Audio CD)

Three great high-energy mixes.

Note: At this point things appear to be getting messed up in Amazon's catalog: be careful not to buy the "Let the People Sing boxed set" by accident! This is a quick review of the "21st Century Breaks" boxed set.

I bought this set on spec because it was recommended, and has a nice looking box. Hey, I was bored that day! And it's packed full of high-energy tight grooves, crazy overproduced electro drum-and-bass tracks that probably have very specific genre names that only the most obsessive would bother to remember.

Let's see: the laid-back mix has a lot of extremely groovy electro, the Tek mix is... it somehow combines tek grooves with lush textures. (Completely worth buying the whole box just to have a copy of Glottal Stop.) And the Soul of Man Funkd up Mix is more classic "disco beats" but high energy electronica and, as it suggests, funky.

Well, I like it, anyway.
