BREAKAGE
Breakage aka James Boyle is never been one to be pigeonholed. Moving effortlessly through styles from drum and bass to dubstep, Breakage has proved himself to be one of the most versatile operators in either scene to date. A prodigious talent, he already has a number of classic releases under his belt but continues to develop his sound. Combining rich tones and a sense of spaciousness in the mix, Breakage’s music is both subtle yet devastatingly effective. A sought after production style that looked back to the old dnb sound led to numerous releases on labels including Critical and Scientific Wax, before his debut album release in 2006 ‘This To Shall Pass’ gained wide spread critical acclaim and included some slower tempo material, hinting at what was to come. James signed with Shy FX’s mighty Digital Soundboy imprint in 2007, and soon turned heads with the haunting half- time beats of ‘Clarendon b/w Shroud.’ It came as no surprise that he would make waves in the dubstep community with his next release, ‘Callahan b/w Untitled,’ after having remixed one of the scene’s biggest tracks to date, Benga & Coki’s ‘Night,’ alongside Shy FX as Digital Soundboy. 2009 saw Breakage cemented himself as ‘one to watch’ across the British dance music press and taste-making elite. Following on from the superb ‘Together’ earlier in the year, Breakage released ‘Run Em Out’ feat. Roots Manuva b/w ‘Higher’ in October and continued his good form with the thuggish reworked ‘Hard’ feat. Newham Generals and David Rodigan released Dec 7th, Zane Lowe's ʻHottest Record In The Worldʼ. February 2010 saw the release of his 'Foundation' lp, with a host of collaborations with some of the most exciting players in the music scene. The album has been met with wide critical acclaim.
“His command of sound and the sheer amount of music he can squeeze from so little is phenomenal. Breakage generates bags of deep meditational vibes and effortless forward movement in equal measure.
- Roots Manuve
“Breakage’s beats are packed with more beef than an Argentinean steakhouse”
- DJ Mag Sept 2009
