DJ Mutiny - 4-Play/DJ Quest - The Brief

  • Share
  • The first release from DJ Quest's new breaks imprint, Funkatech Records, shows off the happier and party-rocking side of DJ Quest and friends. Funkatech is the offshoot label of DJ Quest's Cyberfunk records, known mainly for pulling out the darker, harder edged breaks/garage rollers. Side A. DJ Mutiny - 4-Play Starting off with a piano tune, the beats kick in shortly afterwards to create an uplifting 2-step garage frenzy. Heavy bass accompanies the beats and melody and this is a serious party starter/anthem. Great way to kick off their label with a tune like this. Side B. DJ Quest - The Brief If you have heard a DJ Quest track (his "Haunted Gospel" with King Koop appears on the very accessible and price friendly Urban Funk Breaks III), you will be familiar with his typical breaks/garage productions - that rolling breakbeat style. If not, think drum'n'bass slowed down or early 90's breakbeat style. Starting off very mellow, the nasty ass breaks kick in and it gets harder and darker from there. Quest doing for garage, what Doc Scott did from drum'n'bass - hard, dark, rolling beats and breaks Being only their first release, Funkatech have done really well and hopefully we can see more party style garage like this coming from them.
