MAJOR BREAK ALERT!!!!!!

TOMMY P. STUDIO GROUP "THE WAY WE DO IT" 

FIRST RELEASE FROM TOMMY P STUDIO GROUP. 

RELEASED 1967 ON DANISH METRONOME LABEL. 

IN MY EXPERIENCE THE RELEASES FROM THIS GROUP ARE NOT REALLY SOMETHING I GO FOR. 

(THE PSYCH LP FROM TOMMY P : "T.P. SMOKE" 1970 IS MAYBE AN EXCEPTION)

BUT THIS 45 HAS THE TRACK "THE WAY WE DO IT" WHICH IS A DELIGHT FOR BREAK LOVERS!! AND CERTAINLY QUITE A SURPRISE IF YOU HAVE HEARD THE OTHER RELEASES FROM THE GROUP. 

TRACK IS PACKED WITH BREAKS AND SOMETHING I WOULD DEFINITELY  CONSIDER PLAYING IN A DJ-SET. 

TWO OR THREE MINOR ANNOYING BREAKDOWNS BUT OTHER THAN THAT 

- A GREAT LITTLE FORTY-FIVER FROM THIS DANISH GROUP.   

(SOUND CLIP BELOW - MAY BE OF POOR QUALITY - BUT YOU GET IDEA)

1976 CINEMATIC THEME CHEESENESS FROM DENMARK

O´HENRY ”TIVOLI” LP

A LITTLE ODD NUGGET FROM DENMARK.

O´HENRY WAS A MEMBER OF THE FAMOUS DANISH BEAT GROUP IN THE 60´S

”SIR HENRY AND HIS BUTLERS”

ON THE BACK OF THE COVER THIS LP HE WRITES THAT HE IS

INSPIRED BY JOHN BARRY AND ENNIO MORRICONE AND WHEN HE LISTENS

TO THIS RECORD HE CAN SURELY HEAR THAT THE COMPOSERS ABOVE

HAVE HAD A BIG INFLUENCE....(WHICH IS QUITE A STRETCH BUT NEVER THE LESS ONE CRUCIAL REASON FOR ME TO PICK THIS UP AT THE FLEEMARKET..)

THE STANDOUT TRACK FOR ME ON THIS LP IS ”PARTY´S OVER”.

MELANCHOLY WITH A KIND OF CINEMATIC FEEL TO IT.

EVEN WITH THE LINER NOTES IT WAS QUITE A SURPRISE FOR ME THAT

THIS ALBUM ACTUALLY HAD SOME QUALITY TO IT... ONE GREAT LITTLE TRACK AT LEAST

PRESENTING :

 "TAKES FROM THE MILK CRATES" - THE MIX

END OF TRACKLIST......

The Flirt - Mix 

something a little different (cheesier) than usual.....

 

This mixtape is a little bit out of touch with what Dontfakethebreaks normally is about.

I have always picked up Danish 60s and 70s stuff that looked like it could contain something funky or odd – it could be samples, breaks or tunes to use for Dj-ing.

Recently I began listening through my Danish 80s disco/synth/boogie-looking records 

Listening through them - I must admit that I have picked up A LOT of misses...

The disco/boogie scene in Denmark was very small – at least when it come to releases.

The tunes in this mix is a little of everything.... (mostly cheeseness)

Not really a disco-mix but more like pop tunes that sounds like they intented a little more than just the normal pop-sound of the times, and flirts with influences from disco/boogie/synth/wave/cosmic.

I tried to include tunes that (as far as I know) still are relatively undiscovered or at least not very known ....and then again maybe there is a reason for them being lost in obscurity... 

Tunes are mostly from private releases, or on very small labels.

IT`S ODD, A "LITTLE" CHEESY BUT CHARMING - IN MY OPINION OF COURSE. 

ANYWAYS - GIVE IT A LISTEN AND BE DISGUSTED OR HUMORED.... 

TRACKLIST : 

A LITTLE MIX OF DANISH NUGGETS. 

WITH ALMOST 30.000 HITS ON THE BLOG, WE CELEBRATE
WITH A LITTLE MIXTAPE-PRESENTATION - ALL DANISH RECORDS...

Welcome to another round of Danish breaks and grooves - this time showcased in shape of a little mixtape. 

I have had the records lying around for a while - not having time to do a proper presentation with graphics and writing.

This time instead of writing and doing graphics I tried doing a little mixtape .... which actually turned out to be much more time consuming with the video and all... Well I hope you like it.   

The title is "Rødgrød med fløde" (an old school danish desert). - Foreigners often pronounce it like it is spelled below. Back in the days it was kind of the standard thing to make foreigners say - to get a cheap laugh.....
