Optimal Breaks

The good stuffNew releases and the all-time top. That's the music.

Voices · the people who tell the break

BREAKBEAT IS NOT
JUST THE MUSIC

It is the tracks, yes. But it is also the people who listen and the people who tell it: whoever runs a contest so a producer can improve a track, whoever DJs live on Twitch and whoever shows you the week’s releases to camera.

Breaks are three things

  1. 01The music

    The tracks: each week’s new releases and the archive by year. That is where it all starts.

  2. 02The listeners

    The rankings come from the «+» and the plays of whoever comes in. No votes, no polls: what people really save.

  3. 03The people who tell it

    Shows, contests, sets, live streams and reels. Some are artists; here they appear for that other role: telling it.

ONDE BASS · a joint project

Cigui9 & JottaFrank

ONDE BASS is the project of Cigui9 and JottaFrank, from the Andalusian breakbeat scene. Cigui9 films at the parties and interviews the crowd and the artists; together they created and host the contest.

ONDE BASS es mucho más que una competición. Es un proyecto creado para apoyar a los productores, descubrir nuevos talentos y dar protagonismo a quienes trabajan detrás de cada producción musical.
