Ever since my first contact with IDM music, I’ve always been in admiration of all those tracks made by people that had such great breaks. Sometimes, it flows so smoothly that you don’t even notice that the rhythm broke until the beats start back up a bar later. Macc’s album represents the first breakbeat entry on Gratisvibes. It is not melodic, not full music. Just indulgent beat music for people who are beatmaniacs.
Favourite tracks:
Macc - Non-Linear Phrasing
The snare rushes are really nice here and the non-conventional use of the drum and bass kick drum fits the hectic nature of the music really well.
