100dBs -- "Brenner's Breaks Volume 1".


Dan Brenner has had a one night stand with the mash-up. Or, on second thought, maybe just a quickie.

In under sixty minutes, Brenner has created a world where beloved cereal icons traffic cold hard white, paid homage to legendary producer J. Dilla, showcased raw talent, and put pioneers Nas and A Tribe Called Quest on the same track...and masquerades it all as a day's work for another white twenty something who loves hip hop.

Ever since reading about Dan "100dBs" Brenner a few days ago on Colonel K Speaks, I have instantly crowned "Brenner's Breaks Volume 1" genius, thus pushing it to the forefront of my "Things I Can't Stop Talking About And/Or Pushing On All My Fly Girlfriends" list.

At fifty six and a half minutes, Brenner's proved his worth. He's no minute man... and this quickie is one I wouldn't mind revisiting the next morning.

Believe the hype and download it.

[Editor's Note: My top three tracks "Shut Em Down Remix (feat. Public Enemy)", "One Love Remix (feat. Nas)", and "Munchkin (RIP Dilla)"]
