In appropriate fashion, and in time for the season, TIBASKO’s Andy and Ken pick out 10 (5 each) breakbeat tunes that are packed with summer flavour. Jump in!

ANDY'S PICKS

​Jagā 'We Once Knew'

A track we've heavily supported throughout the years during the later periods of our sets. Jagā brings the perfect combination of breaks, pads and synth in this epic set closer. Simplicity is the key to an amazing track like this.

​Tommy Farrow 'Let's Just'

Good friend of TIBASKO, Tommy Farrow's breakthrough Hottest Record in the World comes in the form of Let's Just. Another track to close a set on here with the huge uplifting vocal punching through and driving the breakdown. Hands in the air, festival moment for sure.

​KiNK 'Pocket Piano (Breakbeat mix)'

Of course, we had to include this absolute belter of a tune. KiNK coming in strong with a full breakbeat mix of Pocket Piano. The gliding synths, arps and acid lines keep you guessing which direction the track is heading; huge club anthem.

​Fourtet 'Three Drums'

Fourtet takes us on a journey in this 8-minute epic, giving me early Groove Armada or Massive Attack vibes. Perfect sunshine weather, the constant sampled breaks give a very raw feel to the track with the pads and synths running away with it.

​Lane 8 'Reviver (TEED Remix)'

Speeding things up now with TEED's Remix of Lane 8's 'Reviver'. guaranteed party starter here as TEED takes us on a musical journey. Everything culminates in a surprise of sped-up breaks in this epic record.

KEN'S PICKS

​Confidence Man & Daniel Avery 'On & On (Again)'

Been listening to a lot of Confidence Man recently and we’ve always been a big fan of Daniel Avery. This track gets us feeling ready for a big send during festival season. It’s such a feel-good track and it’s so infectious.

Jamie Unknown - 'The Get Down'

This guy is super slept on, he’s got a back catalogue of absolute bangers but this tune takes the top for me. Perfect track for a summer rooftop party.

Salute ​'Wait For It'

It’s hard to miss Salute’s ascent into stardom at the moment, we’ve been following him for some time now! This sun-kissed banger brings such a feel-good vibe to the dancefloor, it’s so good.

​ATRIP 'Fever'

The groove of this track is immense! Paired with that big wompy bass and the UKG style percussions, it’s been a staple for all our sets this spring. We’ll definitely be smashing this one out for summer too.

TIBASKO 'Hawt'

Funnily enough, we released this in winter but we made it with summer in mind. No doubt we’ll be bringing this back for the UK summer festival season.

TIBASKO ‘U Want It/Dayglow’ is out now on Another Rhythm, get it here.
