 |  |
Breakage aka James Boyle has never been one to be pigeonholed. Moving effortlessly through styles from drum & bass to dubstep, Breakage has proved himself to be one of the most versatile operators in either scene to date. A prodigious talent, he already has a number of classic releases under his belt but continues to develop his sound. Combining rich tones and a sense of spaciousness in the mix, Breakage’s music is both subtle, yet devastatingly effective. His 2006 debut album “This Too Shall Pass” gained widespread critical acclaim and included some slower tempo material, hinting at what was to come.
James signed with Shy FX’s mighty Digital Soundboy imprint in 2007, and soon turned heads with the haunting halftime beats of “Clarendon” b/w “Shroud”. It came as no surprise that he would make waves in the dubstep community with his next release “Callahan” b/w “Untitled”, after having remixed one of the scene’s biggest tracks to date, Benga & Coki’s “Night”, alongside Shy FX as Digital Soundboy. 2009 has seen Breakage cement himself as ‘one to watch’ across the British dance music press and taste-making elite. Previous releases were named by Zane Lowe as ‘Hottest Record In The World’ on his Radio 1 show.
Following on from the superb “Together”, Breakage released “Run Em Out” ft. Roots Manuva b/w “Higher” in October 2009 to massive critical acclaim. Then came “Hard” feat. Newham Generals and David Rodigan in early December, which exploded across UK clubs and airwaves, becoming unquestionably one of the biggest underground releases of 2009.
Now finally comes Breakage’s highly anticipated sophomore album “Foundation” on Digital Soundboy. Features on the record come courtesy of Burial, Roots Manuva, David Rodigan, Newham Generals, Kemo, Zarif, Erin and more. Expect bass heavy quality music with a broad appeal.
