QUEST AND ODISSI AND IDJ MAG OUT 20TH DECEMBER!
The always innovative, fabulously eclectic and sometimes controversial collaborative efforts of long time breakbeat veteran Quest and his quirky electro-punk sidekick Odissi have made the pair a household name throughout the world of breakbeat ever since their names first appeared on the same vinyl some three years ago.
It could be said, that the records of this couple are very much like a box of chocolates, you can be certain that it is going to taste great... but you never really know what exactly youíre going to get. The unpredictability, in a strange way, creates an air of excitement to every single release by this pair and their first joint effort album is no exception to the standard they have set for themselves.
The great "Expedition to Planet Zog" began in a dark windowless studio deep in the heart of West London and unsurprisingly continued onward as an eclectic journey through every style and vibe imaginable. A true and well polished showcase of versatility, diversity, and ordered chaos making this one album that is sure to be a memorable affair. Here we see Quest's best solo production work to date, while Odissi, known mainly for her vocal work alongside the likes of Meat Katie & D. Ramirez, Dylan Rhymes, Vandal & Hyper, shows us that she is more than a one trick pony by showing off her studio skills and gives us a healthy dose of the lyrical stylings that have made her such hot property amongst the big boys of the scene. It's fresh, loud and most importantly captures the essence of Quest and Odissi's cheeky and twisted sense of humour.
Blended together via interludes of soundscapes and vocals which encompass the reoccurring album themes of travel, mind control, and governmental corruption, our heroes are easily able to guide the listener from one destination to the next. Be it the eerie, surrealistic and techy tones of such tracks as "Tendu", 'THX 2020" and "Sedated"... the in your face, disobedient and infectious grooves of "The Asbo Tune"... the deep jazz fuelled rhythms of "Jazz Time" and "Practice"... The raw punky sarcasm of "Wannabe" and "Vengeance".... the commercial fun of "Break Me" and "Dreaming of More"... The conscious anti-government / anti globalisim rantings of "Speakers Corner", "Fear", "Arm's Race" and "Propaganda", The emotional stylings of "Robot Dance" and "My Angel" or the anthemic "Back to the Old Skool"... This album includes something for every ear and makes for the ultimate epic listening experience.
Furthermore, itís not just the sound that can be called cutting edge, it should be noted that this is the first time in breakbeat history that two scene stars have decided to give their album away for FREE! That's right! Just in time for Christmas, this album will be available for free for your listening pleasure with the December issue of IDJ Magazine! And for the DJ's out there... fear not! In yet another unprecedented move this album sees the teaming up of two of breakbeat's most reputable labels, Botchit & Scarper and Cyberfunk Recordings to form an exciting new imprint by the name of (surprise!) Botchit & Cyberfunk on which the vinyl singles and a DJ friendly version of the CD will be released in the coming months.

Sedated - DJ Quest ft. Si Begg remix OUT NOW!
OUT NOW!
DJ QUEST "SEDATED"
CYBERFUNK RECORDINGS
CFUNK30 A side: Sedated (Si Begg Remix) AA side: Sedated (Original Mix)
Available digitally from all major Digital Download stores. Available on Vinyl at all major retailers
Cyberfunk was launched by DJ Quest back in 2001 with one aim in mind: Introducing new sounds and styles to the breaks scene whilst maintaining the true funk of the genre. Right from the word go Quest has pushed the Cyberfunk label into new directions with every release. So as the time approaches for the label's 30th release, it seems only fitting that Quest embarks on a fresh style to show off his outstanding production skills and that he calls on the remix powers of none-other than Si Begg!
From his Cabbageboy, Bigfoot and Buckfunk 3000 aliases to S.I.Futures and his Noodles pet projects, Si Begg has continued to side step musical complacency and defy categorisation. While others seem to be digging up the past and furrowing the same path, Begg seems to be acknowledging its existence with the flick of a sub-bass detonator, always looking for a new direction.
Combining the pioneering sounds of DJ Quest and Si Begg is quite simply a recipe for success!
We kick off the A-side with the Si Begg remix of DJ Quest's 'Sedated'. The track immediately launches into a dark and glitchy beat with the first hints of a nose-bleed inducing bassline. Once the track kicks in, its strongly advised that small children and animals be locked away as Begg unleashes a torrent of hefty beats and futuristic industrial sounds. The bassline and build up of this track will seriously destroy a dancefloor with the deepest bass vibrations known to man. This track is not for the faint hearted but its appeal spreads out to any breaks fan.
DJ Quest's original on the AA immediately launches into a more sinister and ambient vibe. The track builds gradually to the point where you almost need to turn the light on for fear of a surprise attack! The beats on the original are serious rollers and with some of the tightest drum kicks and snares you will hear this year, its clear to see that DJ Quest's production skills are shining. The original would fit best in a dark and grimy dancefloor with a sound system capable of taking on some serious bass.
For all the trainspotters out there wanting to know the origin of the rather futuristic, eerie and sterile vocal sample look no further than George Lucas' 1971 Sci-Fi flick 'THX1138'. Set in the 25th century, the film centres around a man and a woman who rebel against their rigidly controlled society… now if only Si Begg grew breasts and donned a dress we would have the musical re-enactment ready and rolling!
