MIKE GOLDEN our official Breakbeat Techno “Prince Of Darkness” is hailing from Columbus, Ohio and this is his debut for V.I.M.BREAKS. Mike’s sound is a unique mixture of Darkish Breaks with raw Techno elements, a sound extremely different and “out of here” from the average Breakbeat sounds around. Mike’s coming strong after his first remix for our label just a few days earlier (V.I.M.BREAKS074 CAGE PAGE “SAY HELLO”)! On the remixes tip we have got the mysterious darkish experimental Breaks sound of THE SPIDER BITE, our Dusseldorf mate CLAAS REIMER with his quality Breaks via Tech sounds (check out also his productions under the project WI:RE) and LEE BASS (founder of the rather excellent I:LYKE project) with a killer Ravey remix!

1.DANIELLA DAWNS (DEAD FAMOUS RECORDS LABEL MANAGER, NSB MUSIC REVIEWER)
i really dig the claas reimer mix. the right amount chunky and the right amount just fucked up. dope dope tune, that i see myself playing a fair bit. thanks!
2.HOME ALONE (DEAD FAMOUS RECORDS, V.I.M.BREAKS, DUSTED BREAKS RECORDS, DIGITAL SENSATION UK)
Interesting release, Mike Golden thinks different and his style is very unique. He's not afraid of trying new routes and that is a good thing. Remixes are ace, especially the Lee Bass one with all its dirt.
3.MACHO (V.I.M.BREAKS, BREAKS.SK, DIGITAL SENSATION UK)
hello, thanks for the promo, listened, but nothing interested for me, not my style.
4.SERGEI (ELEKTROBIT CREW)
Hello, Gregory. Very nice promo as usual=)So dark and atmospheric, and it sounds very interesting in my opinion.
Thanks a lot.
5.TOY QUANTIZE (V.I.M.BREAKS, CHIPSOUND RECORDS)
Hi! Remix from Lee Bass - is my favourite from this release!
Thanks! Paul
6.DJ RICAN (PARANOIDZ ANDROIZ RADIO SHOW ON NSB RADIO)
Wicked stuff man! I like the darkness. The fact that you are willing to push the sounds of all breaks is what makes V.I.M. one of the best. Big ups!

10.UNDER THIS (DISTINCTIVE RECORDS, IBREAKS RECORDS, DIGITAL SENSATION UK)
Nice package! Loads of experimental sounds and fresh ideas here. Best here in our opinion is 'Never Been To Californi' (Lee Bass Remix). Really great jacking, nu-ravey tune. Full support from here! Thanks.
11.HANUMAN TRIBE (RIOT RIOT RECORDS, AYRA RECORDS)
alright.. the more experimental side of breakbeats. nice!
our pick is the lee bass remix from "never been to California".
mad bassline & stompin beats!
12.SOMSAY (V.I.M.BREAKS, BREAK R BOSS RECORDS, BREAKBEAT CANADA)

Keep up the good work mate!
13.RICHIE MAXX (SUGAR BYTEZ MIDLANDS CLUB SCENE)
" dark dirty breaks release from Vim records, the 2 dark original break tracks from Mike Golden are haunting and first class, these are backed up with a selection of heavy remix's, claas reimer is the pick from the Ep for me, it grooves alongs then drops well raw and keeps building, classic."

14.KULTUR (METAMORPH MUZIK, KULTURA BREAKZ)

Respekt,
Fran
15.ANDY FAZE (FNOOB RADIO, V.I.M.BREAKS, RUNE RECORDINGS, BREAKS.SK)
Hi Greg!
Cheers mate for the tunes. I quite like both the originals, dark and techy - good for mixing. Class Reimer remix is well cool and funky - quite housey too.
Nicely mixed package.
Andy
16.KICKFLIP (EN:VISION RECORDS, BRIGHTON BREAKS, BROKEN ROBOT, BIG SQUARE RECORDS)
Hey there, Lee Bass mix wasn't bad but not going for anything in this
release I'm afraid... cheers anyway!
Bob
17.MOBIUS (APE MUSIC, DUSTED BREAKS, YELLOWFINGER COMMUNICATIONS, NSB RADIO)
Quite like the stripped back vibe on The Spider Bite remix of Hydro, might give it a spin on the show but wouldn't fit into my gig sets usually.
Cheers
