The 5th and final EP in the Disruptive Beats series has hit all digital retailers today!
Disruptive Beats is a series of EPs showcasing a new wave of talent in the breaks scene, artists who are reinventing the sounds and the very scene itself. Each EP features an artist with a new original track, a remix, plus their interpretation of a back catalogue classic from the Ground Level vaults.
Part 5 features the return of Rebel Sketchy with his first output of original material since 2008! Formerly known for his beats on SuperstyleDeluxe's Payback Project imprint the last few years for Rebel Sketchy have been about relocating and reinventing his musical persona. Following recent remixes for Myagi, Nfiltr8 and Hanuman Tribe last year, he now makes his return with The Ride, a deep rolling tech funk workout which builds from a beatless intro to a crescendo of leads and bleeps. Germany's B-Phreak adds a nasty bassline and turns the track upside down in the filthiest track from the Disruptive Beats series. Finally Rebel Sketchy turns his hands to back catalogue classic Dirty Mind by Domino, adding a rolling bassline and punchy beats and making a potential summer anthem in the process.
