K-Def is back with some more breakbeat action for all of those that know what time it is….

“Tired of hearing the same ol songs? So is K-Def. From his House of Hits / Pirate Radio days (alongside the legendary Marley Marl), all the way through his current incarnation as a ‘producer’s producer,’ it is safe to assume that the New Jersey native knows a thing or two about records. Looking For The Perfect Break Volume 1 provides a look into K’s world, where new breaks and grooves are continuously being unearthed at a breakneck pace and ordinary sounds are run through K-Def’s mixboard and morphed into new sonic creations. Much like the Chief Rocka himself, this live, 1-take mixtape on wax does not stand still for too long before K changes the pace and introduces new sounds into the sequence”.

You can still cop a VENDETTA VINYL T-shirt if your seeking out some 2013 Hip Hop morale…..

The joint of the day goes out to ZIGG ZAGG ft. SHAQUAN, on the very flavorful “Y=SELF” cut from the “Touch The Sun” EP PT.2 (1992-1994) that dropped awhile back on Chopped Herring Records……

If the name ZIGG ZAGG sounds unfamiliar, he also goes by the name SUN MAGNETIC and he was one half of the duo DYNASTY that dropped a few ill 12inches on Fat Beats in the late 90’s (Poisonous Youth, Wildcat, etc)…

Produced by MIGHTY MAESTRO….

If your a drum addict like Mr. HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD you probably have this Sheffield library record in your stacks (John Keltner – Ron Tutt 1983)….

You won’t hear any vocals, it’s a strictly percussion release that blew my mind when I first copped it because there were so many lines to build from..

Do yourself a favor and swoop this one up if your on the hunt for more drums in your life..

Even though MELO-D’s “Aqua Boogie” rocks some familiar tunes, the way he trick mixes and flips the tracks will make you appreciate the backyard BBQ, street jam, freak mode frequency….

Summer is not over yet homeboy…
