#breaka #vinyl #indiemusic
The Leeds-based artist, Bakey, is gaining recognition with his unique approach to garage and breaks that leans towards a darker edge. His rise in the UK’s new music scene has been propelled by original productions released under labels such as Shall Not Fade and ec2a, as well as his iconic DJ sets, including a memorable performance at the 2022 Boiler Room set filled with IDs. Receiving endorsements from notable figures like Joy Orbison and The Blessed Madonna, as well as industry giants like Mixmag, Bakey’s trajectory is undeniably upward.
Breaka, on the other hand, has crafted a signature sound born from a passion for dub sound systems. His style melds prominent basslines with distinctive percussive rhythms, creating a rich tapestry of footwork, UK funky, and elements of trance and jazz. This unique blend of influences was showcased in his impressive 2022 debut album released under his own label, Breaka Recordings, and is also evident in his curated DJ sets and parties, such as the 2021 Keep Hush event featuring Interplanetary Criminal and Emerald.
Both artists have a collection of IDs, dubplates, and more, promising many reloads in their performances. With original tracks released on Shall Not Fade and ec2a, and endorsements from figures like Interplanetary Criminal, Joy Orbison, and The Blessed Madonna, the future looks bright for these talents.
