out now! BLR025 - Breakbeat Summer Sampler 2015
https://soundcloud.com/barelylegalrecords/sets/blr025-breakbeat-summer-sampler-2015
Available now at Beatport
We're back with a superb compilation sampler, showcaseing some of the best summer breakbeat tracks there is to offer. It features the likes of RuN RiOT, The Gulf Gate Project, Sychosis, Adrenalinez, EvilBeat and DJ Justin Johnson.
RuN RiOT’s remix of ‘Wet Me’ by Adrenalinez is unleashing some serious heavy bass business. Also remixing ‘Wet Me’ is the Gulf Gate Project. This one adopts a more melodic approach giving the track a distinctive summer feel.
Up next is the Sychosis remix of EvilBeat’s ‘On My Beat’. Combining classic old skool synth stabs, with a dark, hard hitting kick drum. Barely Legal head honcho DJ Justin Johnson also gets his feet wet remixing ‘On My Beat’ & flexing his signature heavy bass muscle.
‘Machota’ brings EvilBeat’s twisted bass sounds to the forefront, as well as Justin Johnson’s Faultline Disco Breaks Mix of his original track ‘Love bone’ finishes things up nicely.
It’s looking like it’s going to be a hot summer for Barely Legal.

2. Justin's Faultline Breaks Remix
Barely Legal records returns for their unrelenting assault on 2015. After the Adrenanlinez EP ‘The Lost City’ smashed the dance clubs in DJ sets by the likes of Lady Waks & 12th Planet, and got featured on the EDM Network, the label fires right back with an EP from label guru Justin Johnson.
His original version, released on Cable Recordings in 2012, is a bouncing, Tech House number. Bringing it bang up to date is Adrenalinez with a bass heavy breakbeat remix, entwining both a classic breaks feel, with a modern infusion of alternating basslines. Continuing the heavy breaks vibes, Justin himself delivers his Faultline breaks remix that combines the original robotic vocal, with an infectious weighty bassline and a hard hitting, old skool drum sequence.

Press, Blogs, Podcasts:
1stbass.us: This is a great release! Fav has to go to Adrenalinez
Breakzlinkz.com: Solid Release
lifesupportmachine.co.uk (Sid): Top bit of Breakbeat from both remixes!
MusicYouNeed.net (Josh Jacobs): We have a showdown of two
remixes: first is Adrenalinez, who makes it spacey and glitchy. Love
this one. Justin's remix of his own track is much grimier,
almost into a dubstep feel. Both great, but we had to go with the first. Give
them a listen!
