[MR002] Liam Taylor - Break It EP [Beatport Pro Exclusive Pre-Release Available Now!!!]

1/ Break It.

2/ Hells Bells.

After the release of their debut release last month, the Music Rascals label strikes while the iron is still hot with their second release, the 'Break It EP' featuring the very talented Liam Taylor.

Liam sets the ball rolling with the hypnotically atmospheric drum & bass number, 'Break It' which incorporates contemplative yet slightly ominous pads alongside stepping breaks, down-pitched bleepy bass throbs and a wicked, oldskool repeated 'Break it down time' vocal.
It's companion piece, 'Hells Bells' utilises a classic chiming melody instantly recognisable from an Invisible Man anthem and overlays it with a frenetic, yet simplistic break and manic amen combo complete with expertly timed reversed edits. 

Both tracks capture the essence of 1993's hardcore/jungle crossover perfectly by contrasting soothing atmospherics with intense breaks and booming basslines whilst at the same time effectively introducing modern production techniques to the mix. Liam Taylor is one to watch out for!!!

Liam Taylor's 'Break It EP' is available to download now, exclusively from Beatport Pro for two weeks before going on general release to all good digital stores.!!!
