BBC’s Essential Mix: Breakage

Oliver Correa / May 14, 2010

Dubstep and drum & bass extraordinaire James Boyle, aka Breakage, makes his Essential Mix debut. Hailing from Croyden in the UK, Breakage has been making tunes since the ripe age of eleven. His second album Foundation was recently released on Digital Soundboy, and we highly recommend picking it up. He’s also just remixed Florence & The Machine’s “Dog Days Are Over”. Listen out for tunes from Benga, Skream, Deadmau5, MJ Cole and AC Slater, and click through to check out Breakage’s video with Roots Manuva and to see the tracklist.
