I grew up in South Florida where the breakbeat and drum & bass scene were pretty big at one point. Baby Anne and Icey were two of my favorites; tried to catch them at a show whenever I could.
If you've ever heard of Ultra, I used to go when there wasn't even security. It was just a party by the beach.
This took me back :)
Thanks a lot Alex! Please share a link to those tracks, would love to hear them! I enjoyed a few Aquasky mixes from the mid 2000s that had some pounding breakbeat tunes but I don't know breakbeat artists. I've not heard of Ultra but a party by the beach sounds like a great way to spend the day/night! Hope we get to do those again very soon!
I think I'll write about the Florida breakbeats scene :)
