not much good to say about that Rasco set...ugh. without being too critical, I'll just call it sloppy. Big Belly Bass is much better, still nothing special, IMHO. I do like the some spanish influences...so if you find a set, post it!
I still prefer the old school funky breaks. I'd rather go hear Big League Chu than most 'big names'. booty, ragga, and hip hop breaks are great too and nothing wrong with some hard driving bass lines as well.
for booty, Deekline is the man. his stuff with Ed Sole (aka Defkline+Red Polo) and Wizard is generally solid
others I've liked...Myagi, Robb G, Stanton Warriors, Freestylers, Rogue Element + Evil Nine (older stuff), Elite Force, Freq Nasty, Plump DJs (gold standard for electro breaks), etc. though a few of them have seemed to veer off into other directions in recent years.
I've been pretty out of the loop lately and would appreciate suggestions though for some decent stuff. for the last year or two, I've happily gone off on a funk tangent with Fort Knox Five, Nick Thayer, Krafty Kutz, A.Skillz, etc. rather than listening to proper breaks too much.
anyone going to Stanton Warriors on Friday? I'd love to finally hear them spin at a club, but I'm not at all enthusiastic that Gallery is the venue. I get the whole "big DJ, small room" thing, but come on...them in Gallery? "limited capacity"...yeah right, lol.
Pretty much what he said.
Do any of your breakers have a site where some of the older breaks (prog/funky) are available for download?

I ain't paying $45.58 for Stanton freaking Warriors :o
my best childhood friend lives in vegas and i told him not to miss them. he called me from the afterparty, saying "i've never heard or seen anything like this". the legend goes, they showed up, and tore that place apart, 3 ways from sunday. ratio girs:guys:strippers was 2:1:17.
14 min mark is where the real business goes down.
brraaaap!!!!

DJ Vega's sooo good. Are there any other djs that mix similar music?
Edit: I was assuming he's Bill Vega.. are they the same person? .:conf: The Bill Vega sets that I have here are a little harder and more upbeat. DJ Vega is really good, but I initially meant to ask about djs similar to Billy Vega. Sorry if I lost you guys here lol..
