The Beat being etchy and cool in a B.B Borne track is somwething you can always count on - and this track is no exception. Based on a classic break from back then - Borne has been cutting and chooping up this break to the max. A nice twist come at 03:09 where a 4x4 beat bangs in the mix - can easily turn out noisy but Borne pulls it off! I have nothing to add but - simply saying -"perfectly done my man"!
The Structure and melody of this song is not the primary feature - this is a true break tune so its all about the funkygrooves and the breaks. But a nice little acid synthlines kick in the end of this tune making this tune as close to perfect as is possibly can!
The Mixing - the cutting - the juggeling and all that is amazing. This tune is based on the oldskool rules of structure and use of samples - but the mixing is really what makes it sound fresh and new. If it didnt have all the crazy mixdowns it would have sounded a little oldfashined I think (not that I would care). I think I heard this song around 50 times now and I still love it - and Im sure the mixing has a lot to do with that!

Overall this is what funkybreaks is all about - having fun - making awesome beats and keepin it real! Borne does it all to perfecting in this tune...

Beat: The beat is perfectly balanced with the rest of the tune – it’s not too much a break to go with the guitar and the big synth sound. Its got a realdrummer rock sound to it that sounds awesome with the distorted guitar. The beat could have been groovier and funkier for sure – but then I guess it would have taken away the attention away from all the other cool elements that this tune has to offer!
The structure: and melody of this tune is superior to most entries in the contest and its really the driving force of this tune – they way it should be! It take time to start with a trippy intro but never gets to the point where you are feel things are repeating it self – something any producer could envy!
The mixing: and originally has no flaws either – the entire song runs in perfect harmony and you can just kick back and let yourself be blown away by the whole thing!
Overall: this is mind-blowing piece of music that would work perfectly for a movie or a computer game! An impressive sound with lots of good details and a truly great blend of electronic elements with real musical instruments and.

The beats: in this tune is awesome and keeps changing during the song – starts out nu skool – and blends into funky breaks and end out in drum n bass style beats in the last part of the tune! I must say I am in heavy when the funky break slowly kicks in around 01:15 – love it! The way the transitions of these really different style of beats are really clever – when you hear the tune you don’t notice but if you try to skip from the beginning of this tune to the end you wonder how it was possible for Creecha to mix it together – but he pulled it off for sure!
The structure: and melody of this tune is not for the rookie breaker – you gotta be into electronic music and the nu skool break vibe to really enjoy this tune. The tune is pretty much driven by the basslines – and lots of them too. Who needs fancy synth and stings when it can be done with bass alone!
The mixing: as mentioned earlier is fantastic and really original and innovative. This is a unique tune that doesn’t stop amazing me every time I hear it.
Bunker could need some vocal samples or synthlines to meet the wider audiences – but somehow I have a feeling the Creecha is not interested in doing that…

The beat: is nice and groovy and sounds great with the heavy bassline. However it may be a little too nice and electronic – could have been great with a funky realdrummer twist to the beat – a banging snare and more kick in the bassdrum. The shake stuff sounds cool though!
The structure and melody of this tune is just perfect the smooth funky wah wah guitarloop and the house pianolines and the smooth strings! However it doesn’t seem to be quite as original and theme as last years winning tune. The melody is quite predictable – which in way is some of the beauty of this tune. You love it from the very first listen because of this!
The mixing: of this tune is flawless – the little cuts between each section is so well-organized and superior it makes you wanna turn the tune back all the time to figure out how you can copy that transition. These little twists keeps the listeners attentions and is one of the thing that makes this tune so great!
Overall a state-of-the-art Beezerk tune that once again shows his amazing producing talent and leaves a noone doubtful why he was last year winner of the BBP. I wish the heartbreaks will be the next big thing…

The beat: is pretty cool – hard but at the same time trippy and chillout! It could have been nice with some variety in beat in some places, to avoid it sounding too loopy. However it’s not really a must since all the slow sections without beats kinda makes up for the missing viariety!
The structure and melody: is pretty good for the kind of atmospheric tune it is. It doesn’t really have a catchy theme to get the listener’s attention – but the cool vocals take care of that!
The mixing: and production in general has no errors what so ever – and leave you with nothing to do but kick back and listen to the trippy sounds. The mixing style is smooth and safe – and this fits pretty well with the tune – too many interesting cuts would probably make it impossible to flow along with it the way you can.
Overall: a very nice tune that satisfies the listener even after the very first time you hear it. Its not revolutionary to the music scene – but it does entertain you for the 7 mins when it slowly moves on it way! The tune could need a little work on the beats and maybe a climax in the end. It sounds like the whole tune is building up to something that never really comes! However this is truly a great tune that is well worth a listen and I hope to hear more stuff from Dafunk in this style in the future…

The beat: is one of the better things about this tune! A typical 4x4 dancebeat would have made this tune too stereo-typical I think! The forward moving nu skool breaks actually makes the whole thing sound fresh and new! Could have been cool with some more variety in the beat – but it works the way it is – so why bother :)
The structure and melody of the song is great and works really well. It may be based on loops but it doesn’t prevent it from sounding good! The best things is without doubt the orchestral string loop that makes the vocal sound really dramatic.
The mixing: of the tune is pretty rough – and I don’t hear any real transition between the elements – they seem to just suddenly kick in and stop again. Could have been solved with some invert hihats and crashes!
Overall: a pretty nice tune with some cool beats but it needs a little work on the production side!

The Beats are not really fitting for the funkybreak category – but I guess you were feeling it was more funk than a downtempo or hiphop tune. The main beat is pretty ordinary and doesn’t really challenge the listener. Some extra snares are added at 1:40 but it actually sounds a little off to me – but it may just be that I am usually working with breaks so obviously I’m pretty focused on beats. But for a hiphop style beat I guess its not that bad…
The Structure and melody is surely the best part of this tune. Compared to many of the other entries you have a real melody and bassline you work around – which is nice for a change. However some of the effects like the one at 01:01 sound a little out of tune with the bassline. The tune has some good piano hooks other chords I can quite identity.
The Mixing is pretty ordinary and traditional as well – no real surprises and it runs the same way all the way though. I could have wished for a little more variety in the mix! Maybe some vocals could make it more interesting to listen to!

Overall a nice little funk tune with some good melody features but could need a little work on the beat and the mixing. Doesn’t seem quite finished either – its not even 3 mins. long and it seems to end pretty sudden. Summed up: more variety – twists in the beat and better sound quality and it would great!

Beat: The beat sounds a little too oldskool for me – some places it almost sounds 80s like with a simple basskick and snares. The places where the loop rolls with it – that’s when it gets the bigbeat vibe! Could have been made fresher with a more modern beat with more variety.
Structure: and the melody of this tune is pretty simple and doesn’t offer too much variety either. I’m am really missing a bassline in this tune – something to move the beat in-your-face. The synthlines isn’t really enough to make this tune work. Mixing: Is pretty good, cuz I think it really stays real with the bigbeat genre – nice and rough! I love the vocal pieces – and this is truly the best thing about this tune. The vocal “super sonic vibes…” really runs good with the synthlines – and I hear some good filter pieces of it too!
Overall: I don’t feel the vocals are quite enough to get the listener’s attention away from the missing elements on the melody and beat.

The beats: are pretty good – the different loops runs nicely with eachother – just too bad with the clicks. Could have been nice with a little variety in the beats – changing the beats in some of the slower section often work wonder – that way when the hard beat kicks in I really sound big!
The structure and melody of the tune tend to get a little loopy and monotone – when the loops doesn’t have the right pitch. You should have had a programmed bassline to kinda carry the rest of the elements/loops of the song.
The mixing: of the song is not too bad and you found some elements that mostly sounds good together. The overall mixing of the loops could need a little sharping up but with a little more work I’m sure you got it!
Overall a nice tune with some cool elements – a little lack on the production side but some nice ideas for sure! Keep it up!

The beat: is pretty straight forward and could a needed just a little more punch to make the whole thing work. The whole tune is pretty much driven by this beat so I should offer more variety – even though its not the tradition in the hiphop skool!
The structure: and melody well…there is not really any melody and the since this is a turntable tune there are not really any structure needed – just a mix that show skills so I think the way you build up the tune is pretty okay!
The mixing and originality: of this tune a not too noticeable – it doesn’t really bring anything new to the table – but it does provide us with 2 mins of entertainment so I guess we can’t complain!
Overall: I must say it needs a little something extra to really get my blood boiling – I’m banging my head but I was waiting for some more scratchlines and vocals cuts that never showed up. But I enjoyed listening to it so keep your turntables rolling and keep practicing and you will drop down some really dope stuff one day!

Look out for a funky BadboE 5-tune-mix that will be released soon...

Thanks to all the great artist that entered the contest this year!
