Breakage aka James Boyle is never been one to be pigeonholed. Moving effortlessly through styles from drum and bass to dubstep, Breakage has proved himself to be one of the most versatile operators in either scene to date. A prodigious talent, he already has a number of classic releases under his belt but continues to develop his sound. Combining rich tones and a sense of spaciousness in the mix, Breakage’s music is both subtle yet devastatingly effective. Never afraid to make an impact, he burst onto the d&b scene back in 2000, announcing his arrival with a raucous remix of a hardcore classic, Nasty Habit’s ‘Here Come the Drums’ on Reinforced.

Further releases came on labels including Critical & Scientific Wax, before his debut album release in 2006 ‘This To Shall Pass’ gained wide spread critical acclaim and included some slower tempo material, hinting at what was to come. James signed with Shy FX’s mighty Digital Soundboy imprint in 2007, and soon turned heads with the haunting half-time beats of ‘Clarendon b/w Shroud.’ It came as no surprise that he would make waves in the dubstep community with his next release, ‘Callahan b/w Untitled,’ after having remixed one of the scene’s biggest tracks to date, Benga & Coki’s ‘Night,’ alongside Shy FX as Digital Soundboy. 2009 has seen Breakage cemented himself as ‘one to watch’ across the British dance music press
and taste-making elite. Following on from the superb ‘Together’, Breakage released ?Run Em Out’ feat. Roots Manuva b/w ‘Higher’ this October to massive critical acclaim. Breakage follows ?Run Em Out? with the thuggish reworked ‘Hard’ feat. Newham Generals and David Rodigan. Already gaining massive support and applause across the underground & in both the press and on the national airwaves, Breakage explores new ground on this bold and bashy release, giving us the perfect insight into the direction of his new album.

He’s already gained specialist support across Radio 1, 1Xtra, Galaxy and Kiss FM from the likes of Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Rob Da Bank, Giles Peterson, Ras Kwame, Toddla T, Mary Anne Hobbs, Mista Jam, Sinden and many more, not to mention being named as Zane Lowes ?Hottest Record In The World? on his Radio 1 show. With his sophomore LP ‘Foundation’ due for release in Feb 2010 on Digital Soundboy, it’s sure to be another busy year ahead for Breakage. Features on the record come courtesy of Burial, Roots Manuva, David Rodigan, Newham Generals, Kemo, Zarif and more. Expect bass heavy quality music with a broad appeal.
