Mark Broom – “Mutated Battle Breaks” (Rekids) [February 19th, 2021]

U.K. madman Mark Broom puts forth 8 fast-paced quick-hitters for Radio Slave’s RSPX sub-label of Rekkids. All tracks exceed 140 bpm and expire around the 3 minute mark, catering the fresh ammunition to agile mixers.

Appropriately titled “Mutated Battle Breaks”, Broom sets out to conquer the high-energy techno dance floors in 2021. Side A gems like “Physical” and “Inherit” show off his expert modular synth sound design and shine through the mixdowns administering reflection over the relentless backbeats.

Side B boosts the levity with fun tracks such as “Changing” and “Mutate”, including sounds like referee whistles and bouncy percussion to keep the mood light and high-spirited. If you close your eyes you can instantly imagine a crowd in front of a pair of decks going wild around a dance troupe.

Broom seems to have perfected the techniques for administering the aural kinetic energy required for breakdancers to keep their artform alive and kicking in 2021, and shows it off on this collection of 8 flawless heaters.
