1st post of the new year.. woo hoo!

OK... #2
My favorite score of 2007 was the Ultimate Breaks & Beats box set. 3 Discs, over 100 traks of everything that was right with music. The foundation cornerstones of all that is hip-hop and modern R&B.. sampled for house, big beat, northern soul, covered by everyone with a dream. I get that musical high each time I run this. Here is a sampler. I suggest you all get the download link for this if you don't have these gems.
