A compilation, and two cuts that are actually new

On 30 October 2026, Shade K releases Do the Math on 83. Beatport lists it as an exclusive album, catalogue OYT883: ten Breaks / Breakbeat / UK Bass cuts, from 128 to 134 BPM. In this archive it is a compilation. Eight of those tracks had already come out on the same label, with the same artists, the same BPM and the same key. What is released that day, and does not exist before it, is two cuts: Spoolin (41 Candies Shade K Mix) and 384 Shots.

On that 30 October Shade K sits at number 1 in Optimal Breaks' all-time artist chart, ranked by saved tracks, with 143 saves. The record comes out on the label Guau founded in 2016. Previews play in the player on this page, and the release is on Beatport.

What was already on 83

The date is the first release, not the album date.

The two new releases

  • Spoolin โ€” 41 Candies Shade K Mix โ€” Guau, Shade K โ€” 4:40 โ€” 130 BPM โ€” D minor. The original *Spoolin* had been out since 23 April 2025. This mix has no earlier edition.
  • 384 Shots โ€” Original Mix โ€” Shade K โ€” 4:25 โ€” 134 BPM โ€” A major. It closes the record: the fastest cut, and it does not appear before 30 October 2026 either.

The album order

Beatport does not sort by date. It opens with the new *Spoolin* mix, continues with tracks already out, and saves *384 Shots* for the end. The original *Spoolin* is fourth, after *Area 345* and *666*.

1. Spoolin โ€” 41 Candies Shade K Mix โ€” new โ€” Guau, Shade K โ€” 4:40 โ€” 130 BPM โ€” D minor 2. Area 345 โ€” Original Mix โ€” already out โ€” Shade K, Terrie Kynd, Playbass, Evil Crew โ€” 4:07 โ€” 130 BPM โ€” F minor 3. 666 โ€” Original Mix โ€” already out โ€” Shade K, Terrie Kynd, SeekFlow โ€” 3:59 โ€” 132 BPM โ€” Bb minor 4. Spoolin โ€” Original Mix โ€” already out โ€” Guau, Shade K โ€” 4:11 โ€” 130 BPM โ€” Eb minor 5. LXI โ€” Original Mix โ€” already out โ€” Shade K โ€” 4:09 โ€” 128 BPM โ€” C minor 6. JC97 โ€” Original Mix โ€” already out โ€” Shade K โ€” 4:36 โ€” 130 BPM โ€” D minor 7. Bass 71 โ€” Original Mix โ€” already out โ€” Shade K โ€” 4:03 โ€” 130 BPM โ€” C minor 8. 6th Street โ€” Original Mix โ€” already out โ€” Shade K โ€” 4:41 โ€” 132 BPM โ€” A minor 9. 1993 โ€” Original Mix โ€” already out โ€” Shade K โ€” 3:29 โ€” 132 BPM โ€” E minor 10. 384 Shots โ€” Original Mix โ€” new โ€” Shade K โ€” 4:25 โ€” 134 BPM โ€” A major

At 128 BPM, *LXI* is the lowest pulse. At 3:29, *1993* is the shortest. Both predate this album: April 2024 and October 2023.

Guau, founder of 83 and tied to the Mallorca scene, shares both versions of *Spoolin*. Terrie Kynd is on *666* and *Area 345*; SeekFlow joins the first; Playbass and Evil Crew join the second. The rest of the list is Shade K alone.

Shade K belongs to the Andalusian breakbeat circuit, with Seville as one of its centres, and to the generation active since the late 2000s. Earlier catalogue titles that are not on this record include *Brain Candy*, *Festival Goers*, *Breakbeats For Breakfast*, *Send It* and *Hook Line And Stinker*.
