An uptempo mix inspired by the dance floor action at Oslo Soul Experience, trying to capture the intensity and spirit of their DJ’s excellent track selections and adding some additional flavour to that (the playlist and mix download link is available by reading the full post):

This live recording is a perfect example of capturing a musical performance that can only happen once because all the right elements were at the right place at the right time. Unfortunately, only about half of the actual concert is present on the album, but still, what is there is a remarkable mix of improvised jazz-funk by performers in total control of their craft, just letting the groove guide them wherever it might go.

Four years in the making, this is the second all-original Breakestra album after their long awaited debut “Hit The Floor” was released back in 2005, well, debut may not be the correct term here since they have been performing and releasing live mix albums and 7″/12″ vinyl since the late nineties. Anyway, they continue here in the same vein as their previous outing, and that can only be a good thing, because this is a solid dose of down and dirty funk, soul and jazz that would have made James himself proud!
