Arthur Baker presents: Breaker's Revenge - Original B-Boy and B-Girl Breakdance Classics 1970-84

These tracks are picked for their ability to make you move.

And, even if your popping and locking only happens when you stand up too fast, you’ll find your brain’s rhythm in sync within a single playthrough, your neck nodding like it’s going out of fashion.

Compiled by legendary producer, Arthur Baker, ‘Breakers Revenge’ is a near-definitive collection of original funk, soul, latin, disco and electro classic tracks from 1970 to 1984. These tracks, a combination of classics and obscurities, have all since become legendary to breakdancers everywhere. First played at South Bronx block parties, community halls and park jams in the 1970s and 80s, spun endlessly by the first three major hip-hop DJs - Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa - and found in the record crates of any DJ of note ever since.

The breakbeat remains at the very heart of hip-hop - the mercurial funk, soul and disco tracks, always 100% guaranteed to get B-Boys, B-Girls and breakdancers moving at any block party, with the percussive breakdown of each track the pinnacle to any dance / battle between breakdancers. Similarly, these tracks have been sampled many times over by every hip-hop artist and producer of note. KRS-ONE, Marley Marl, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Public Enemy, Eric B, The Fugees, Outkast, Mos Def, Main Source, Jungle Brothers, LL Cool J, De La Soul and, well, everyone.
