Yes, breakspoll will happen next year! bastards, just let me sleep :)

About Me


no more breakbeat please

like going out and having fun, dancing and getting silly with like minded peeps

its all about the funk innit!For my sins - responsible for breakspoll (www.breakspoll.com), Fish & Chips (legendary Liverpool events late 90s early 00's), writer for MOFO, FLUX & TTR magazines and various websites

My Interests

seeing my kids, music, reading, chocolate, work (f***in saddo!), and more music

I'd like to meet:

people who promote breakbeat music worldwide, and are looking for collaborative projects should go through the breakspoll myspace (see my friends list)

fun people who like to enjoy themselves, smile, laugh, go out, flirt, be silly, get drunk, talk crap and dance unashamedly all without fear of reprisal

Music:

spend far too much time listening to breakbeat (from funky to filthy tear out), but when ive been liberated i listen to anything except goth or trance

pavement, tokyo police club, walker brothers, beatles, elliot smith, the go! team, zutones, beastie boys, PE, Sebadoh, GBV, mudhoney, Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Girls against boys, malkamus, the fall, massive attack, frank sinatra, the who, the stones, dr john, etc

funky & fun hip hop (J5, format etc), funk / rare groove / northern soul, electro / nuwave crossover stuff / techno / D&B

anything good really that has decent hooklines and makes you want to sing or dance

DEFINATELY NO TRANCE, SCOUSE HOUSE OR GOTH THOUGH!
