Breakage, an increasingly dominant presence in the UK's dance music underground.

Having quickly risen to notoriety in the drum 'n bass scene, Breakage is one of a number of d’n’b producers - along with the likes of Instra:mental, Kryptic Minds and ASC - who have taken influence from worlds outside of d’n’b to fashion a unique, rolling aesthetic all of his own.

In Breakage's case, dubstep is the key: following 2008's awe-inspiring single 'The Shroud'/'Clarendon', he's gone on to explore that sound deeper, while also collaborating with Skream, and MCs like Roots Manuva and, on new single 'Hard' - out December 7 - Newham Generals and David Rodigan.

His FACT mix should give you a taste of what to expect from Foundations, the London producer’s new album due early next year on Shy FX’s Digital Soundboy label, and the follow-up to 2006’s diverse double-disc set This Too Shall Pass. Tracklist overleaf. [via Fact Magazine]
