The Guest List: TIBASKO'S 10 breakbeats for the summer

With a slew of accolades under their belt, including a Mixmag Best Single and Danny Howard's Hottest Record in the World, TIBASKO has quickly become known for their bold breakbeat sound and genre-bending approach to production.

Their latest EP, 'U Want It/Dayglow', showcases their signature blend of high-energy dance tracks and melodic, contemplative beats. 'U Want It' is an anthem for the summer festival season, have a listen to it here.

TIBASKO has been turning heads across the globe with their stellar performances, including supporting Yotto and Elderbrook on their European tour and shows in Berlin, Paris, Prague, Brussels, and Amsterdam. And with a big US tour and this summer’s Glastonbury on the horizon, they're only getting started.

Named BBC Introducing Dance Artist of the Year and Future Star of 2021 by Pete Tong, TIBASKO is an unstoppable force in the electronic music scene. With their penchant for breakbeat and their innovative approach to production, they're sure to keep the dancefloor packed and the music flowing all summer long.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
