Break – Resistance

Break – Resistance

Widely regarded as one of the defining albums in modern drum & bass, Resistance is the acclaimed debut studio album from Break (Charlie Bierman), a producer celebrated for his impeccable engineering, deep analogue-inspired sound, and unmistakable rolling grooves. Released in 2010, the album cemented Break's reputation as one of the genre's most innovative artists, blending heavyweight dancefloor tracks with soulful melodies, intricate rhythms, and cinematic atmospheres.

Drawing influence from classic jungle, techstep, dub, and soul, Resistance showcases Break's extraordinary versatility across a collection of meticulously crafted productions. Every track is built around his trademark combination of crisp percussion, rich sub-bass, and flawless sound design, making the album equally rewarding for DJs, audiophiles, and dedicated drum & bass fans.

The vinyl edition features standout cuts including the powerful opener Don't Look Down, the deep rolling groove of All That's Left, the dark intensity of Martyr, and the infectious energy of Too Much. Side E's Salvage and Side F's Slow Down continue the album's journey through atmospheric bass music, while Hold On (Club Mix) delivers a dancefloor-focused rework of one of Break's most recognisable productions. The album concludes with Conference Call, another expertly engineered roller that perfectly encapsulates Break's signature style.

The complete CD edition expands the experience with additional tracks including Hold On (Original Mix), Scanner Dub, Between The Lines, Recycler, Heal Me, Time After Time, The Only Way, and Everything Counts, offering an even deeper exploration of one of drum & bass's most celebrated producers.

A landmark release for fans of deep and intelligent drum & bass, Resistance remains an essential album for collectors of modern electronic music and a cornerstone of Break's outstanding catalogue.
