- Tayo is set to release the third installment of Functional Breaks' Beats & Bobz CD and let me be the first (hopefully) to say that it is one stormer of a breaks mix. Ragga vocals, dub infused bass and dancehall beats all fused together with todays breakbeat styles and production methods. The 12" vinyl sampler features a new joint by Tayo vs Precision Cuts and also a brand spanking new remix of a Jean Jacque Smoothie tune.
Side A. Tayo Vs Precision Cuts - Breakbeat Girl
For those who are familiar with Tayo & Precision Cuts productions will recognise the deep ragga breaks laced throughout the track. Breakbeat Girl features crisp rolling beats, scratched up ragga vocals and farty bass with razor sharp slices for good effect. Dancehall steel drums and a vocal sample of a ragga man chanting "Breakbeat Girl" give the tune a distinct Jamaican feel and a slight sing-a-long element.
Side B. Jean Jacques Smoothie - Moving On (Ben & Lex mix)
Beats & Bobz residents Ben & Lex take Jean Jacque Smoothie's dub infused house tune Moving On and give it a deeper feel. Dancehall beats accompany a dub/reggae synth hook while MC Chickaboo's vocals get laid down on top. To add to the mayhem, Ben & Lex give it a long and deep bassline to make it perfect for chill out sessions on the dancefloor or to finish up a mix. (hint!)
