On its live mix-tape series, Breakestra flips between flawlessly reproduced "loops" of funk tracks memorably plundered by hip-hop producers faster than a DJ could with an extra pair of arms. Newer generations will instantly recognize the instrumental snippets that made stars out of their favorite artists -- Pharcyde, Boogie Down Productions, EPMD, Mark the 45 King, Public Enemy, Busta Rhymes, and Eric B & Rakim, among others, all drew from parts replayed here. Old-school soul and R&B purists might even relish the chance to enjoy the grooves from their beloved evergreens rehashed without all those rhyme routines that just get in the way of that timeless old funk. And since the entire CD is sequenced to mimic the flow of a DJ set, the beats run together continuously, making for a solid block of organic dancing music that will get booties shakin' at any house party or barbecue.
