Hybrid Presents Y4K - One of the best uptempo compilations (free stream)

[Jon Cocco]

Hybrid Presents Y4K is one of, if not my favourite electronic (uptempo) compilation that is not psy/goa or downtempo oriented. It is that good IMO for those into driving (occasionally dark but not always) electronic music with progressive influence, breaks (breakbeats) and some infectious tunes. I first heard it in 2004. According to reviews on Amazon, this is not even close to their best work. Remember that Psytrance-influenced electronic song from the kickass film Man on Fire that we were all trying to pinpoint many years back? It's on here too!

Just about anything Hybrid ever did is great.

 

Honestly from a technical standpoint, Soundsystem 01 is an incredible genre-mashing artpiece. Check it out!

Yea, you can never go wrong with Hybrid. Great songs, great group.

Love Hybrid, the mix of Finished Symphony at the end of Northern Exposure 2 is one of the greatest tracks I have ever heard of any genre. Must check this out.

And it's...Breakbeat ???

Basically hybrid was the best thing to happen to breakbeat. That genre is so forgotten.
