Dj Tron THE FUNKY BREAK / REVENGE OF THE OUTLAW
(7 INCH)

DJ Tron trod his path into beat-driven mischief young, shifting from teenage Italo disco and acid house obsessions to hip-hop after he encountered the raw pulse of Beastie Boys and Public Enemy. Graffiti, MC cyphers and scratch routines shaped his early approach, and the rough-cut feel of rap rhythms stayed central to everything he made later on. His latest 7" single pushes that long-standing breakbeat fixation into two rowdy mashups: 'The Funky Break', built around clipped, tomming drums and a counterpart breakdown, and 'Revenge Of The Outlaw', a scruffier, sample-slung workout nodding to earlier mixtape experiments.[info sheet from distr.]
