GREAT! Dj Hyper is awsome, great song selections and smooth mixing. I'm a big fan of Hyper. I wouldn't recommend Bedrock Breaks though =[

3.0 out of 5 stars crossover breakbeat leaning too far into electro, February 7, 2001

By 

Richard Diaz - See all my reviews

This review is from: Y3k: Deep Progressive Beats (Audio CD)

The first of two releases from DJ Hyper, resident at club Bedrock among others, showcases artists with a forward-thinking approach to breakbeat, pushing it darker, deeper, and offering a richer sound through a fusion of other influences. It's a style certainly in sync with the transition of progressive house and trance DJs to edgier, groovier fare, with plenty of crossover potential in sets.

Indeed this volume skillfully shows the breadth of breaks in numerous guises throughout the hour, from trance-leaning performers Way Out West and Hybrid, electro by T-Power, and heavy doses of nu-school from Rennie Pilgrem and the rest.

Highlights include an unearthed mix of Slacker's popular "Psychout," a shaking Bedrock techno take on Terminal Head's "Weekend Warrior" and aforementioned Hybrid's instrumental "Groovology." Of course, the BT/Hybrid collaboration with Kirsty Hawkshaw on vocals is the epic piece fans expect, though mildly disruptive to the album flow.

Any cop then? More electro-leaning than the sequel, those shy to the robotic funk will find the mix difficult at times, though DJ Hype works it so well you may not mind the bleeps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked Chillout Breaks, March 15, 2000

Perfect for post-clubbing chilling. Really interesting samples (especially Psychout by Slacker). The Rennie Pilgrem track is also excellent. My only gripe is that the entire CD isn't full of tunes I hadn't heard before, but hey, whadya gonna do? I recommend this CD.
