Editorial Reviews

Uberzone (aka Q) takes up the challenge and mixes this new installment of the ever-popular Y4K series. His dynamic and eclectic style, make this edition a breakbeat goodie bag not to be missed!

As one of the leading American breaks DJ/producers since the mid-90’s, Uberzone singles such as "Botz" and the Space Cadet EP have been called classics by the likes of UK breaks connoisseurs Rennie Pilgrem and Tayo and Q’s following among the breaks fraternity is nothing but rabid. Recent sets at Fabric (London) and Winter Music Conference in Miami only see him further building his following.

Uberzone’s mix is one that is sure to bring any room to life. The tracklisting pretty much speaks for itself with productions by breaks innovators from both sides of the Atlantic. The huge "Turn It Out" by Meat Katie vs Christian J and "Soul Makossa" (Afrika Bambataa vs Uberzone) by Manu Dibango sit deservedly within this list. Tracks by Rennie Pilgrem, BLIM, General Midi and Uberzone himself also feature to make this an absolutely lethal compilation.

I don't normally do reviews, but my first listen prompted me to sit down and write.

This is one of the best compilations I've heard in a while. It's definitely the best of the Y4K series. Some of the tunes youve heard before, but they're remixed really well.

My only criticism is the Aquasky/Masterblaster cut is such a great groove but it gets mixed out too soon. But that's me. :-)

There are a lot of great moments to be had on this one. Hats off!

I need to listen to it again! and again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Stunning. A real gem!, February 19, 2006

This is one of the shining stars in the Y4K series--Uberzone REALLY knows how to lay down the breaks! Their album is full of creative and well-mixed sounds. The great ethnic tracks like Soul Makosa and Little Ladies are definite highlights, and will thrill with their exotic sounds and ultra-solid rhythms. In fact, this album is even better than their debut album "Faith In The Future". They should be proud of what they've done here, I am very impressed.

The electronic music market is flooded with so much nonsense these days--but Uberzone has stood out with this landmark album for Y4K. Well done guys!
