Editorial Review:
Distinctive Breaks' Y4K CD series goes from strength to strength - previously mixed by Hybrid, Soul of Man, Phil K and, most recently, Ali B.
Together with Evil Nine, Distinctive Breaks is proud to present the latest installment on Y4K. Rocky, proggy, breaky and housey - this is a mix of epic proportions with cleverly chosen tracks laced with organic drums, live guitars and vocals with no shortage of attitude.
Y4K is Evil Nine's first compilation - featuring tracks from Freeland, Whitey, and Bloc Party; it also includes exclusives from Bassbin Twins, False Prophet (PMT), and Evil Nine. This is another Y4K mix not to be missed.

Rating:  - innovative and different
besides track 5, which i can't stand, i love this album. i have seen them live and i agree with adam freeland when he says that they are unique and pave the way for new sounds in the breaks scene. this y4k offering is on my playlist at least once a week, as i find the first few tracks a good way to get going when i am dragging around. their rock infusion along with hip-hop is a nice change for the genre. the second half of the album gets into a deeper mix mode. i like it.

And it's not just something ... Read More
Rating: - A Different Breakbeat
Evil Nine's Y4K effort is a bit hard to describe. Their debut album "You Can Be Special Too" was received with much hype, mostly positive reviews, but also a bit of disappointment. If your favourite track from Evil Nine was "Cakehole", before their first album, then chances are you will not like this album; but for fans of "You Can Be Special Too", this is just more great stuff.
They sound very unlike most of their breakbeat contemporaries, and if a sub-genre could be greated for them, it ... Read More
