This mix is intelligent, musical and not without its fair share of dirty gritty sounds and basslines, and features the intensity and insanity of tracks from SOTEG and Si Begg to the musical wonderment of Ils and Tipper, not to mention one or two exclusives from the likes of Stanton Warriors, Andy Page and Nubreed themselves.

Hailing from Melbourne, Nubreed comprise of Jase Catherine, Michael Walburgh and Danny 'Db' Bonnici and are without doubt at the helm of the ever growing Australian breaks scene.

They've been devastating audiences all over the place having embarked on a world tour in June this year, taking their onslaught of soaring vocals, progressive breaks, raps & rhymes, drum 'n bass and the odd tribal tech workout. As with their live shows, Nubreed have managed to put together an intelligent and intense mix whilst maintaining the musicality that makes them so popular. This is a smart mix that should be in all discerning listeners' collections.

The Y4K series can already boast Hybrid, the aforementioned Phil K, Ali B and most recently Evil Nine as contributors to one of the finest and most loved compilation series. Nubreed present their take on it, and this will make grown men cry….
