Sublight: “Wikkid Oldskool Breakbeat” Classic DJ set

1997 was the year Hullabaloo landed in Toronto, and with it a resurgence in all things oldskool. Breaks, jungle, hardcore, happy hardcore, it all came back, with a liberal amount of the newest vibes and styles as well. This set harkens back to the very early days of breakbeat, with a great focus on the happy aspects – pianos, classic breaks, vocals and rhymes, and hand-in-the-air vibes. I happened into a residency at Hullabaloo, thanks to a friend, and kept paying their parties until I left Toronto in late 1999.
