Jehst - Falling Down - 2003
Mr Thing - Strange Breaks & Mr Thing Vol: 1 - compilation of heavily-sampled original tracks (BBE Music)
The sound of the sixties and seventies has never been so sought after as at the present moment. You could even argue that modern music just isn’t good enough. As evidence, consider this: contemporary producers and artists are often looking back to get inspired – insert staggering number of examples – so you can safely say that even in this digital age the beating heart of modern R&B and hip-hop is still vintage soul, funk and jazz. This is why BBE Records have teamed up with DJ/Producer Mr Thing, to dig deep into his extensive collection to compile a series of albums of rare and sought after breaks. This series reflects brilliantly on his dedication to digging for those untouched and unrivalled samples and breaks as you hear him use in his DJ sets. As a DJ, Mr Thing never fails to engage the crowd with his winning combination of hip hop and funk breaks spiced up with his legendary mixing and scratching skills. The first installment in the five part “Strange Breaks & Things” series contains superb songs; some you’ve probably never heard of, some which may make you go: “I recognize this sample!”… because it was once used as the backdrop for a classic Hip Hop track. If you liked the legendary “Strange Games” compilation series on BBE compiled by the likes of Kenny Dope & DJ Spinna, you’ll love “Strange Breaks & Things”.

Mr Thing - All-Vinyl Set (Southport Weekender 2026) [Video]
Mr Thing absolutely demolished his set at the 39th Southport Weekender. Playing an all-vinyl set, almost entirely from 45s, he tore through classic after classic and had the whole room rocking. For anyone who doesn’t know, Mr Thing is a legendary UK hip hop DJ and turntablist – a founding member of the Scratch Perverts and winner of the 2000 DMC UK DJ Championships. If you know, you…
Kamanchi Sly - Letcha Self Go [Video]
In 2004, underground UK Hip Hop pioneer Kamanchi Sly delivered the gritty Lambs To The Slaughter EP on Catalyst Recordings which contained the anthem “Letcha Self Go“, a track that still reverberates in the scene’s back-alley playlists. Recorded during the golden era of early-2000s UK Hip Hop, the song showcases Sly’s raw lyrical flow over a stripped-down boom-bap beat, reflecting the DIY spirit…
I haven't done one of these in a long time - all the samples and breaks from some of my favourite Hip Hop tracks (some from a few years back and some more recent) in the tradition of my digging influences Kon & Amir, Muro, The Conmen, DJ Shame, Soulman and more. I haven't done a track list for this because all of the fun for me is finding these yourself and getting dusty getting them (or sent in the post). Just over an hour long - Enjoy! Marc/Mr Thing
