Fourteenth Century Sky

Four tracks of heavy-duty breakbeats and acid-fried textures. The raw, dusty blueprint for the big beat movement recorded before the stadium lights turned on.

Find on Amazon

This is the record that basically invented big beat in a dusty basement.

A high-octane collision of gritty street energy and psychedelic electronic experimentation.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, sirens-like synth lead that pierces through the heavy breakbeat on Chemical Beats.
The sudden shift into a hazy, melodic dub landscape during One Too Many Mornings.
The way the percussion layers build into a chaotic, polyrhythmic peak in Her Jazz.
