Breakestra
12” “Don’t Need A Dance” b/w “See
Sawng
 
Hail
the return of the heavyweight LA funksters! Breakestra are back
with 2 brand new cuts plus instrumentals. This first single from
the forthcoming album will please Breakestra fans as they pick-up
where they left off – only this time the hard hitting pysched
out funk jams aren’t all cover versions. In fact on this
12” as on much of the upcoming album they’re original
home brewed jams.
“Don’t Need A Dance” is a rough
and ready psyche-funk joint with vocals by Mixmaster Wolf
and Miles. Raw funk vibes power this
along yet this was recorded in 2004, not 1971! On the flip is
an instrumental soul jazz monster, plus an insane sampledelic
bonus beats drumstrumental version, called “See
Sawng”.
Founded by musician, producer and DJ Miles Tackett,
the crew holds it down at LA’s weekly premiere funk &
beat extravaganza, The Root Down. Performing
regularly to capacity crowds the night has also featured hip hop
luminaries Jurassic 5, Dilated Peoples,
Black Eyed Peas, Freestyle Fellowship, Company Flow, Cut Chemist,
Nu-Mark and DJ Shadow. Tackett has also produced tracks
for the likes of T-Love, Cut Chemist, Dilated Peoples,
& Macy Gray. The world first got a taste of The Breakestra
flavor from their recordings on the much adored indie hip-hop
label, Stones Throw Records. Deep funk DJs like England's
Keb Darge and Ian Wright to NYC's heavy-duty
soulster Kenny Dope quickly picked up on the
accessible slab of JB-tinged excitement and even The Thievery
Corporation have licensed tracks for a Mix-CD Compilation.
In addition we have a super Limited Edition 7" featuring
an edited version of “Don't Need A Dance”
and new track called “Recognize”.
The Limited Edition Breakestra 7" is currently only available
through Ubiquity or at the bands live shows so grab it while you
can.
Watch out for Breakestra on tour this Fall and their Ubiquity
album in Spring 2005.
