Ultimate. There’s simply no better word to describe the grooves, rhythms & drums that powered hip-hop in its infancy and throughout its golden age. The hugely legendary, often diversely compiled, but always forever loved “Ultimate Breaks & Beats” series remain the true building blocks on which the music born of the Bronx invaded and conquered our whole world.
It’s the art of the DJ that Super Rix pays homage to here: clocking in at an impressive 160 separate records, over 2 cds
Extremely listenable, and a lot of good fun, this mix is unique!
DJ Superix, longtime associate and partner in DJ antics with UK hip hop high-rollers Yoda and Greenpeace, presents the ultimate (literally) mix of everyone’s favourite breaks & beats series, the legendary Street Beat “Ultimate Breaks & Beats”.
Debuting in 1986, months before the Emu SP1200 hit markets in mid-1987, the “Ultimate Breaks” soon became a ‘must-have’ for all hip hop DJs, and it’s probable that these two facts combined are the sole reasons why pre-1987 drum machine driven hip hop gave way to the use of samples and loops – this series literally shaped the history of the genre! Even some 1986 needle drops that appear in hip hop that year originate here.
The Ultimate Breaks series was compiled as a way to gather all the hip hop DJ’s battle tracks into a one-stop-shop when hip hop still meant MC’s were a compliment to the real attraction, the DJ.
The double CD package comes complete with lush artwork referencing the infamous, mysterious Street Beat graffiti covers, which every self-respecting hip hop fiend has at least a few of hidden in the collection.
