"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!”"
"The second volume of Strange Breaks from BBE, featuring a double CD, one mixed by Mr Thing from his amazing selections. The other CD and LP version features the original tracks, and some absolute gems they are!
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."
"Five years on from the last, BBE is proud to present the next instalment of Strange Breaks & Mr Thing. In this digital age the beating heart of modern R&B and hip-hop remains as vintage soul, funk and jazz.
Like the previous volumes, Strange Breaks & Mr Thing III contains a collection of killer cutz; 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 & Mr. Thing”.
