Scoring a top 10 hit (as Breach has this summer with "Jack") is a dream come true for most musicians. It also must be a little bit strange though, especially for an artist with the history and depth that Breach (a/k/a Ben Westbeech) has. In fact, the Breech project was originally conceived as an underground counterpart to the Westbeech's work under his given name. "The thing is not to lose sight of why you started making music in the first place," he says. "I wasn't trying to get in the Top Ten. I just care about making deep records that I get off on."
It's those same "deep records" that are showcased on Breach's new DJ-Kicks mix; which deftly incorporates everything from e2 basement finds (in the form of Winx - "How's The Music") to spanking new tracks from some of Westbeech's contemporaries, and of course, a new original Breach track made specifically for the mix. "I've grown up with DJ Kicks," Westbeech says. "For me it's a very important series and I didn't want to throw it together at a time when I've never been as busy. It came at a pretty crazy point in my life, but I feel I've done myself justice with it."
