DJ Flipside Presents Breakers Yard Volumes 1-5

DJ Flipside Presents Breakers Yard Volume 1
(Released 2001)

The first in the series...the legacy begins...A MIND BLOWING FUSION OF ORIGINAL & CLASSIC BREAKS:- old skool rarities & all the faves; phat, fresh beats; licks; grooves;voice samples; sound FX; stabs & funky tracks!...let the battle commence!!

Here's what MR K.D. of ThaWaxAnorax had to say about it:-

" When I get hold of an independent battle weapon it is nice to checkout all the breaks and samples that have been picked by the DJ or Artist and with Breakers Yard Volume 1 I really like the way it has been put together .. To start with it is not full of breaks that I have on three other battle weapons which is something new on it's own there are tracks to practice over and some really nice scratch samples to use. I am not very strong on the juggle side but I would say that it would be worth picking up 2 copy's to see what could be done with it."

DJ Flipside presents Breakers Yard Volume 2
(Released 2002)

...the legacy continues... AN ESSENTIAL COLLECTION OF NEW BREAKS & OLD SKOOL LICKS:- grooves & samples for FX scratching & funky tracks arranged in evolving constructions for endless cut'n'paste juggle...enjoy!!

Here's what Mr K.D. of ThaWaxAnorax had to say about it:-
" Described on the press release as a treasure trove of new breaks and original licks it really is that and then some more. Combining phat and chunky beats with some smooth breaks. This is a battle weapon that just like volume 1 will be a must for any serious tablists or scratch DJ.
Once again the pressing is nice and loud and really well laid out with some wicked breaks and scratch sentences to make you want to just itch for a scratch .. with 2 copies you could juggle to your hearts content  with this .. Taking volume one & two you could put together an outstanding show case to impress the most dedicated hip hop / scratch heads... This is 100% worth getting 2 copies. "

Hello everyone!


Hello everyone!

I'm DJ Flipside from the UK, a DJ producer who has been making many different kinds of music including downtempo, trip hop, old school hip hop, breakbeat and turntablism records for over 18 years. I have independently produced a collection of DJ tools records on vinyl best known as 'DJ Flipside Presents Breakers Yard Vol 1 to 5' amongst others, which I will be bringing back to life here.
The main purpose of this blog is to help keep vinyl alive by offering some very limited editions of past vinyl releases of mine directly to you. , there will also be some give aways of  original and sometimes unreleased music compiled and produced by me.

Despite the fact that I'm an avid supporter and user of digital DJ tools like Serato Scratch and CD decks, I think a lot of new turntablists nowadays are solely using digital media and starting to forget the original roots of turntablism - the mighty VINYL! Long gone are the days when the DMC championships saw DJ competitors using piles of vinyl records to perform a 3 minute set, and some actually going as far as producing their own original scratch records in order to achieve the highest  grade of competitiveness, which sometimes was simply unbeatable!(Q Bert, Craze, etc)

So here we are! Feel free to grab any previews of the material - who knows, you might just find exactly what you were looking for and end up with two copies of one of the Breakers yard albums on your turntables for real cheap! Enjoy the ride & keep the vinyl vibe alive.

Long live vinyl and good music!
Till next time, over and out!

Peace!
DJ Flipside
