Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, these boys are tipped to do some serious damage!
They have shared a studio for the last four years working on their own separate projects, recently they decided to pool their talents and the results speak for themselves. Their music is rough, heavy, twisted and still has a musical edge keeping, your feet firmly on the dance floor.
Pete Samplers has been a DJ since the early nineties, spending the last six years promoting various nights and playing all over Europe, in places like Iceland, the Czech Republic and Estonia. He’s now resident and co-promoter of Freaky Dancing, which is Newcastle’s longest running Techno and breaks night. Mando from M.A.S.S is a highly talented Producer and engineer with a background in a variety of different musical genres, which has earned him numerous releases over the last four years. He currently works with artists from all over the UK and is involved in various projects ranging from classical Indian music to Hip Hop and of course breaks.
Their first joint release on vinyl came out on the Drunken Unstable Imprint called ‘Dirtbag’ which received massive support from the worldwide Breaks community. That was followed by “Rude Girl Skank†on the same Label and “One Arm Bandit†on Downbeat Productions, which was snapped up for the Breakspoll Vol 1 compilation on Supercharged.
Pete and Mando have been working on a live fusion project incorporating hip hop, breaks and classical Indian music, which saw then perform at Glastonbury, the Glade Festival and Womex World Music festival to name but a few.
2007 kicks off with another release for Downbeat Productions and a busy schedule for them both!
