I'd swap with John Berger, just to see what it's like to have a mind as majestic as that.
In other news, I am listening to an old Adam Freeland mix. I wish breakbeat would come back, there were some stunning records around back then.

Adam Freeland was the chap with the stupid car stereo, right?
I found that breaks scene to be basically slowed-down old hardcore. Nothing particularly wrong with that but pretty meh.

car stereo? you what?
You're thinking of a different strand of breaks. Freeland did nu skool breaks. Stuff like Forme, Bushwacka and Evil Nine.

Slowed down hardcore is more jump up breaks, like what your mate Matt Cantor was making.

Edit: The Next Level by Ils just came on. That's a fucking perfect breakbeat track.

Adam Freeland was famous for having a 4k rig or some stupid shit in his car as a stereo.
Some US muscle car. Claimed it permanently ruined his hearing.

The prick.

I didn't know that.
His mixing is impeccable, and this mix was done on vinyl. You into Sasha at all? Some of his vinyl mixes are easily on par with the stuff he does on Ableton. Ridiculously high calibre mixing.

I saw him a few times in the early 90s.
Great technician, but a little fond of the gay end of the house spectrum for my tastes. Carl Cox is technically v good too, and played better records (back then).

yeah, Sasha did used to play really bent house and trance but then he went underground house and breaks about ten years ago.

He used to end with Space Face by Sub Sub which is one of my all time favourite dance records
and the end result of one of the only eBay bidding wars I have ever got involved in. I thought 'I will pay almost anything for this' and it was a costly decision.

They used to be Sub Sub.

The Next Level by the Alkaholiks is better.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here.
Otherwise you would be basing a comparison of two records, only one of which you have actually heard.

I got confused and thought John Berger was Jamie Bulger briefly
