17 MARCH 2010

00000-000-2344717-696

Vyacheslav Kogan – producer, musician, designer, DJ.
Vyacheslav was born 9 January 1988 in Fokino, Primorsky Region, Russia. Lives in seaport Vladivostok, Russia since being three years old. The boy fell in love with music in early childhood, distinguished Elvis Presley and The Beatles from other popular performers. Since 2001, being a teenager, Vyacheslav became interested in hip-hop culture, started mastering breakdance technics, getting first impressions about Breakbeat music. His favorite producers for that period were Music Instructor, Flying Steps, Def Cut.

Soon Vyacheslav got aspiration to make music himself. His first tracks were written in the old school Electro style. By that time Vyacheslav worked by the name Street Project.

Surrounding music influenced Vyacheslav’s creative work and directed him to the world of broken beats. In the end of 2005 he changed nickname to BreakZhead. His first tracks “Limit” and “In Line”, presenting atmospheric breakbeat, saw the light in the beginning of 2006. Vyacheslav’s first official release called “Introducing…BreakZhead!” took place on Nulogic label in autumn of 2006. Release included BreakZhead’s most impressive works.

Every new composition enhanced and modified BreakZhead’s style: beats became more powerful, sound became tougher and stronger. In 2007 BreakZhead summed up all the done work and released “The World of BreakZhead” album, including 12 tracks, which reflected his inner world. Album was available on Vyacheslav’s own label Street Project Productions. Vyacheslav continued experimenting with tougher sound after “The World of BreakZhead” release. Basslines became “evil”, beats became heavier. In this period public really noticed the artist by the name of BreakZhead. His release “First Flight In Cosmic Space” hit Beatport’s (most prestigious digital music retailer) TOP100 Breaks Chart.

In the august of 2008 Vyacheslav started working on the new label Subtribe Records, devoted to releasing multi-format music from producers from all over the world. Thanks to painstaking work with Detach (Dmitry Ivaniv), label became truly successful. For now on, Subtribe Records is considered to be one of the most known breaks labels. Released tracks frequently hit Beatport Breaks TOP50. Covers made by Vyacheslav also strengthen new brand.

In the end, BreakZhead’s sound became more aggressive, but without losing of melody. Artist is well-known throughout the world, famous labels, radio stations (KISS FM, RADIO1, iBREAKS, BREAKSFM, NSB RADIO, DI-FM, Megapolis, RECORD), magazines (MIXMAG, DJMAG) are largely interested in his music. World-known artists, DJs of Breakbeat scene, including Far Too Loud, Lady Waks, General Midi, Magnet Men, DJ Cosmonaut, Jay Cunning and many others are willing to support BreakZhead’s creation, playing his stuff on big arenas, in the mixes and podcasts. Vyacheslav also had time to work with labels BadBwoy Bass (USA), Dusted Breaks (UK) – Breakspoll 2010 Best New Label, Standard Audio (UK), which is headed by Afghan Headspin and In Beat We Trust Music (RU), which is headed by Lady Waks. Thorough and painstaking work on music and label strengthens Subtribe Records’ positions in the industry. BreakZhead moves along without fear to experiment and conquer new heights.

GUERILLA TECH

4 FEBRUARY 2010

Guerilla Tech is the most rocking collaboration between two of the hottest producers in the breakbeat world right now!

GT Profile 1mono-mid

The duo, Dean Anthony & Shane Boyle hail from Luton, England. an average size town just north of London.
Their partnership began around march 2009, after hanging out together for a while and both chaps already producing their own material, it wasn’t long before they ended up hitting the studio on a sunday afternoon and cooked up the first production.
The guys worked so well together another session was booked in the following week and the track ‘Black out’ was born, an intense techy breaks track, that was snapped up by Subtribe Records.

Subtribe asked GT to put together another track for the ‘b’ side of the release, the track produced, un-knowingly to the guys, was to be the track that launched them into the world of breaks. ‘We Try’ was released as a ‘b’ side to ‘Black Out’ but this fearsome, techy breaks track, even had touches of old skool wonderfullness plastered all over it and a bassline that erupted the dancefloor on the first note!
The track went on to hit no:1 spot on www.trackitdown.net ’s breaks chart & number 88 in the overall chart, It remained at no: for many weeks, whilst also proving it’s worth on sites like beatport & dj download getting up into the 20’s.

Since then GT have gone onto Remix tracks for Tony Awake, BreakZhead, Dandyskills, CLSM (Jon Doe) and The Gulf Gate Project. with support from the major players amongst the scene, it wont be long before more original productions hit the dance floors!
