Here’s a nice score from my last NY trip a few weeks ago. Had this on my wants for a while, in retrospect it’s not a super crazy catchy track but it has “that weather report break” which is one of my top top few favorite breakbeats, plus some good oft-used ragga samples in it. The artist behind this didn’t do much oldskool but did quite a few speed garage releases years later, under the name DJ Supreme (not to be confused with DJ Supreme in Hijack, or the one on Bogwoppa). Not much else to say about this one other than it’s a cool no label release, def worth checking out the other tracks as well!

What Weather Report break is this then?

yup, absolutely love the steady sixteenth note rolling feel, unfortunately doesn’t translate that well to current high bpms unless you highpass/otherwise process it, but sounds really perfect original speed up through, say, 150 or so.
I went out and got the Weather Report 5xCD box set yesterday. I’m totes gonna rinse it… didn’t realise Billy Cobham was their drummer!
my bad that was mahavishnu I was thinking of re: billy cobham, he’s got a similar crazy techy break in a mahavishnu track that this reminds me of a bit.
Tried to find the mahavishnu break but failed… you can’t remember the name can you?
this was the one I was thinking of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhtCO59_UPQ
