»Urban Funk Breaks III mixed by SOTO

 

 

SOTO takes charge of Botchit and Scarper's third instalment of Urban Funk Breaks with a direct n dirty dancefloor approach. Comprised of SOnia Akow and TOby Edwards, this London-based duo wear many hats in the UK breakbeat scene, including DJing, producing, running  a radio show and doing various behind-the-scenes record label stuff.

 

 

 

This is a fair selection of nu-skool tracks with a progressive bent and some of the tunes here will definitely cause dancefloor mayhem.

 

Some stand-out tracks are Atomic Hooligan's Club Shaker and Dangerous by T. Power and Blade. FreQ Nasty of course never fails to disappoint with his freaky, geeky, electro-breaky style in Boomin' Back Atcha.

 

The mixing is abit formulaic, though, and you get the impression that not alot of effort was put into this mix. All too often they just fade the last few bars of a track into the beginning of the next track's vocal samples. Given their background, SOTO are definitely capable of a better effort. A decent sampler for the Botchit label.
