Back by popular demand, the compilation album that covers the music associated with the b-boying / popping / uprocking scene past and present. Some tracks that are well known, others are more obscure and are only known to the few but all can be said are very hard to get on original. Idea for the D.J. who cannot find the originals or has them but is concerned about damaging them when playing out or from heavy scratching . Compiled by Junk from the Second To None B-boy crew - Breaker, Hip Hop Producer/DJ & Graffiti Artist.

Side 1 1) 'You Gotta Come Out Fresh' Supreme Force This one comes courtesy of Sakura who has been obtaining some of the really rare Hip Hop cuts that I've been after. This track has that classic Old Skool sound, tuff beats and raps with those stabs that sound like they're from an Emulator or some other vintage synth. 2 'Beat You Down' Rockwell Noel Another one found by Sakura, Marley Marl production here, tuff beats with the 'wu wu' noise from 'Rocket In The Pocket and guitar stabs that sound like 'Rock The Bells - LL Cool J', a style similar to 'Beat Biter - MC Shan' with a rap dissing Krs One, emphasizing the rivalry between different New York suburbs at the time. 3 'Knights Of The Turntables' Dynamic Duo Feat Shaquan A classic that was on Electro 10, a rap theme that perverts the knights of the round table legend into a DJ scenario to much amusement with atmospheric synth and plenty of scratching. 4 'Blackbyrds Theme' The Blackbyrds This is getting to be a bit of an anthem lately, I'm hearing it all over the place. Funky and catchy with a nice break in the middle. The horn was used by The 45 King, which I will mention more of later. 5 'Bonus Breaks' I've looped up some breaks and other things from my vast library to encourage D.J. s to double deck something different to the usual breaks we've heard millions of times.	Side 2 1 'Lunar Funk' Fabulous Counts This tune was on the Battle Of The Year 1999 video and is popular with b-boys, getting played at various jams. Fast tempo with funky guitar rifts and horns, I've just used this on a new track, the horns looped up with a break over the top. Either sampled or played original this is a real battle track. 2 'Techno City' Cybotron This is produced by Juan Atkins, a pioneer of the early Detroit Techno scene that followed a few years later. I first heard this track on the Electro 4 compilation and like the track 'Clear' by Cybotron it sounded very futuristic , ahead of its time then. A great tune for Popping and Electro Boogie. 3 'N.Y.C' Power Jam Another one that I've been after, found by Sakura. Like many other tracks from this time I first heard this on a Mike Allen tape and have wanted it ever since. As the title suggests the subject of the rap is about New York, this track is very similar to 'New York Breakdown' that is on B-Boy Anthems 5. Wicked Rap, 808 beats with a warm bassline and bits of electric guitar here and there, a classic old skool style. 4 'Up Hard' Ike & Tina Turner In '88 I first heard the album 'Masters Of The Game' by The 45 King, on the b-side were some instrumental breakbeat tracks, very simple with a break looping over and maybe a horn or something but these were wicked for breaking to. Some of the breaks we just could'nt figure out what they were at the time, one of them being this break which was a mystery for ages. Of course everyone sampled the 'Masters Of The Game' album 'cos the breaks were on their own, this break was on many Jungle tracks but I reckon hardly any of those producers knew what it was. 5 'Bonus Breaks'
