Ali B's London-based club night 'Air' has rocked the English capital with the finest beats and breaks for the past 9 years, regularly causing the kind of queues most promoters can only dream about. Now a force to be reckoned with on the festival circuit, with arenas at Global Gathering, Glastonbury and beyond, 'Air' is the place you'll find the biggest and brightest talents in the genre.
Ali B is now ready to unleash the club's first compilation album, 'Ali B Presents Air Breaks', featuring no less than 18 tracks from some of the biggest names in breaks. Each and every single track is exclusive to 'Air Breaks' and previously unreleased!
All the artists who've played at 'Air' over the years, ranging from scene leaders such as Freestylers and Stanton Warriors, through to rising stars such as Will Saul and Janette Slack, where possible, have contributed bespoke tracks especially for the mix, making 'Ali B Presents Air Breaks' a definitive snapshot of the worldwide breaks scene in 2006.
"This is one of the most exciting breaks mixes to be released this year."
