So I bet you are wondering how these lovely talented fellows met and how the release was born? No? Well you are getting the story anyway
The magic between the two happened a few years after a friend of Dave’s from Montreal introduced the two. Neighbour did a release for Dave’s Kinjo Label and to launch the EP Dave had Neighbour over to spin a night with him at his residency Salon Daome. During the stay Neighbour found out about someone having a record sale so naturally they went. They got to the loft, dug out some gems then hit up the studio. With Mr. fancy fingers Neighbs on synths and Dave twisting out some beats and scratching in some samples, the dancefloor stomper Kickin Action” was born.
Sometime later Dave came out to Calgary to Jam with Matt for a gig. funny night, as the power dropped out for 15 minutes in the club, but it resumed and they had a blast.
The next day they got into his studio and “wait a minute ” was the result – the original title was ‘what happened to the f-ing power’ . To round out the EP they both included individual tunes to make it a solid four tracker. Dave’s “Break da Computer” was done with his classic juno 106 and circuit bent speak & spell. Neighbour delivers a jamming low- fi deep number ‘You can do it’ perfect for all the slo-mo disco heads out there.

The Black Russian is a legend amongst most in the Kootenay’s and will forever impact the lives of the people who had the pleasure to know him and surround themselves with his outlook on living life to the fullest.
Homebreakin’s close friend, BLK RSN aka Josh Evin, was involved in a tragic accident last year that took his life. Josh was a great guy. We like great people. So Homebreakin decided that it was a good idea to get all of our close friends, ask them to produce a tune and create a serious crate of tunes that pay tribute to Josh. This compilation was assembled, arranged and mixed by Homebreakin artists in honour of Josh Evin.
The C90s – “this ep is a masterful slice of disco dictation! both originals are str8 up italo cosmic dancer heaven bombs. those along with the vintage luke million remix will 100% be getting played by me in my sets.”
Tad Wily – “Whole Ep is pretty good, but Disco Dictator original really grabs me. Dope stuff ”
Casio Social Club – “Another solid Home Breakin’ release! Keep ‘em comin’… full support!”
Scottie B – “really likethe quintan 909 mix… all different,which is terrific.”
A year ago Homebreakin lost a good friend, Josh Evin. To celebrate his life we are releasing a music compilation in July with all proceeds going to charity. To find out more about Josh, who was and is, amongst other things, a Kootenay skate legend, please visit www.joshevin.com
