Manchester breaks bot Baobinbga has just dropped sample of seven new two-step dancehall fused riddims on his myspace: http://www.myspace.com/baobinga

Baobinga's set was one of my highlights of the Breakspoll afterparty this year. You can sample some recent mixes on Trash Menagerie:

Breakspoll Afterparty rewind: Deekline & Wizard + Baobinga

Massive congratulations to all who won awards at Breakspoll on Thursday, especially Musical Mana favourites NAPT who cleaned up with best track, best producer and best remix! Gotta have more cowbell. You can find links to NAPT mixes here.

Breakpoll Afterparty was incredible last night - living proof that breaks is 100% live and kicking in 2009! Big up to Hexdecimal, Freestylers, Baobinga, Deekilne & Wizard, Zinc and the mighty Scratch Perverts. My highlights were Baobinga's filthy dubstep tinged set and Deeline & Wizard's live set. You can gab a set from the former and some classic tracks from that later below:

To get you in the mood for their live set, I was just going to give you a link to the mix they did for The Digitalist's electro house blog, Disco Destruction (click here for set list and download link)... but then I discovered to my immense joy that the Guildford boys do a regular podcast... and I thought Xmas had already happened!! You can sign up for it and download past mixtapes here
