Supatronix UK news!
Posted by jurassik | January 28th, 2010
Greetings true believers,
Well it’s been an eventful few months. We had to say goodbye to Herbal after a successful monthly residency at the best little venue in East London, as sadly the evil coppers decided to shut it down (boo!) Since then the search has been on to find a new venue where we can take the night to the next level.
We now believe that search is over, and can announce that we will be running our first ever event in south London in March – watch this space for details. The location is JAMM in Brixton, which has just been subject to a massive refit, including the addition of a state of the art function one soundsystem. The club also has a 6am licence, and is putting its full financial support behind us, meaning we will be able to secure our biggest ever lineups over two booming rooms.
For those of you who fancy checking out this excellent venue, Supatronix DJs will be spinning at the next Sugarbeat event on Friday, February 12. Headliners are Herve and Utah Saints, and there’s a special all nufunk lineup in room two, featuring Bombstrikes records’ Mooqee and many more. Jurassik and Country Cockney will be representing for SupaT, and you’re guaranteed a funked out, party-rocking night. Click below to grab an earlybird ticket for just £8.

Supatronix Melbourne 14/11/09
Posted by Missmax | October 28th, 2009
Supatronix Melbourne is back @ The Late Show on Saturday the 14th November in Melbourne’s world famous Revolver Nightclub.
Missmax and Youthful Implants will be bringing you loads of fresh new beats and exclusive treats to satisfy your appetite for awesome broken beats, with support from Late Show resident Ransom locking it down in the front room.
The ever prolific Youthful Implants (Future Perfect UK) will be spinning his freshest releases out on Flextone & Dead Famous Records along with his solid styling remix of Mesmer tune ‘Fine Wide Spread’ freshly pressed on Romanian label Scarcity Records.
Missmax will be spinning her premier release coming soon on Scarcity Records. A collaborative track called ‘Revenge‘ from Supatronix head honcho Jurassik and newcomers Missmax & Ozarki (AKA Jimbo). This track is the brainchild of Ozarki with melodic direction from Missmax, finely pieced together and produced to the detail by Jurassik (Supatronix UK). This release is a stellar example of Jurassik’s tight and sharp production that will soon see him known as one of breakbeats true talents.

Halloween Supatronix UK!
Posted by jurassik | October 7th, 2009
Life is sent to test you, they say. Well this week has certainly proved that particular adage. Early this morning we found at that our venue for the past year, Herbal, is being closed forever due to the council having pulled the licence. This is incredibly sad news as we really enjoyed our time there. One might say it was our most successful period so far in fact, with some fantastic regular crowds getting down to the likes of Far Too Loud, Deekline & Wizard, Plaza De Funk, Freestylers and many more.
But … luckily we’ve been able to secure another Shoreditch venue, The Courtyard in Pitfield Street, as a replacement for our Halloween party on Friday, October 30th. It’s the spot where we did our New Year’s Eve party last year, and has just been kitted out with a full soundsystem and a late licence. Future Funk Squad will be headlining in the breaks room, and we have the Skanks Sabbath crew (not to be confused with our regular collaborators, Skanks!) holding down the bar with some hip-hop and dubstep sounds,
The extra space on the stage there means we’ll be able to get some visuals going, and the owner of the place is a wicked chap who’s properly into the music and ting. So it ought to be a nice comfortable place to get on it. And we’ll be running ’til 4am instead of 3!
Furthermore, I’ve just heard from Mr Funk Squad himself that he’ll be giving away 50 copies of his incredible new album Disorders of Skill. Since we’ll be doing our usual free entry deal before a certain time, this basically means that if you get your skates on we will be giving you the best breaks album of the last couple of years to come to Supatronix. You really can’t say fairer than that. Also watch this space for an exclusive mix and interview with the man himself.
If everybody likes the venue and it goes off, we might just carry on there. Or we might find somewhere else. Let us know what you reckon, in any case.

Far Too Loud speaks!
Posted by jurassik | September 22nd, 2009
Ahead of his gig at Supatronix on Friday, Far Too Loud spoke to thisisbreaks.com about his plans for the future as a solo act, and the future of breaks …
We’re still getting used to saying “he” rather than “they” when it comes to describing Far Too Loud. The name still has that ring of being a band moniker, rather than a solo act, but as anyone who’s been paying attention lately will know, that’s no longer the case. Oli Cash (pictured above) and Dom Smart, who were the core of Far Too Loud, have gone their separate ways at what many would see as the height of their success, with the latter launching a new act, Neurodriver, and the former continuing under the FTL brand.
We’ve already brought you the lowdown on Neurodriver, including a pair of wicked free tracks, and here we present Oli’s side of the story. Far Too Loud will be playing one of his first solo gigs in the UK at Supatronix in London this Friday night, where he’s promising a special breaks-orientated set to keep the heads happy. In the meantime he’s taken time out to let our readers know what the future holds.
When news first broke of the split, we were pretty disappointed here at thisisbreaks.com, but we’re now looking on the bright side. Where once we had one purveyor of energetic psy-tinged electro-breakbeat, we now have two. And that can’t be such a bad thing. Over to Oli, and big ups to the awesome Funkatech Records for sorting out this interview.
Most people who have been into breaks over the past couple of years know who Far Too Loud are and appreciate your music. Will there be any difference in the band’s output now that it’s a solo project?
For me, Far Too Loud has never rigidly stuck to one particular sound, although I think the production techniques link all the tracks together sonically. I get tired of a style quite quickly when making music and usually when I have finished a track I want to do something a bit contrasting, which gives a degree of unpredictability to what will come next. I like to take influences from what I’m listening to at the time and produce some sort of reaction to that. That is what I have always done as part of Far Too Loud and that is what I will continue to do, so in that respect the output of FTL will not change. You will however see me incorporate new influences and ideas so I hope that people will see some sort of difference in the FTL output, not just now but until I stop producing music. I think that if I was going to do anything radically different from FTL music then I wouldn’t be carrying on with that name – the fact that I am still using it really answers your question.
What lay behind the decision to go it alone?
I think our styles and views on the direction of FTL weren’t in sync. Without a unified goal it’s difficult to achieve anything. Separately, I think we can both be more focused and productive as it offers complete creative freedom.
