XLR8R

Berlin's Circuit Breaker puts punk attitude and electro touches to a breaks framework on "Phonque," where nasty leads duel with classic techno sounds (love that percolator noise!); flip for a minimal, bass-driven remix from Bristol's October. Also check Circuit's Headbangers Ball mix of Bengston's "Jump" (on Swiss label Ritmic), which turns a paint-by-the-numbers breaks bit into a raver's anthem that mixes influences from Run DMC to Metallica.
