Breakin the Beat

Broke n'Beat Radio - respect. Now I'm not always the biggest fan of dance/club music, but there is some stuff I can really get to: for example, the stream of work represented by artists like NuSpirit Helsinki, King Britt, Mark de Clive-Lowe and New Zealand's own Thisinformation. Broke n' Beat Radio is one of the best places I've found to sample this sort of stuff, an outfit out of Philadelphia that has great DJ sets available online in mp3 and streaming realaudio. Normally there's a new mp3 every week or so.

They also have a some nice photos and some styley wallpapers... this one particularly grabbed me of course, the cross-colonialism going on here is quite mind-bending.

Tumeke !

For the most part, the stuff served up on Broke'n'Beat is pretty intelligent, and very concious of its roots - whether that's Sun Ra, Curtis Mayfield or Sugarhill Gang. Nice groovy listening.
