Description

As part of their 2oth year celebrations, BBE have been re-releasing some of the most sought after compilations, and they don’t come funkier than this beauty from Mr Thing. The two disc set of rare funk, soul, jazz, and rock breaks comes with an exclusive CD mix of the 16 tracks skillfully put together by the man himself. Essential.

Five years on from the last instalment, BBE is proud to present the 3rd in the series of Strange Breaks & Mr Thing. In this digital age the beating heart of modern R&B and hip-hop remains as vintage soul, funk and jazz. Like the previous volumes, Strange Breaks & Mr Thing III contains a collection of killer cutz; some you’ve probably never heard of, some which may make you go: “I recognise this sample!”… because it was once used as the backdrop for a classic Hip Hop track. If you liked the legendary “Strange Games” compilation series on BBE compiled by the likes of Kenny Dope & DJ Spinna, you’ll love “Strange Breaks & Mr. Thing”. BBE 2014
