As many have already discovered, the perfect way to get any party started is simply to Apply the Breaks!     Formed in May 2003, ATB consists of DJ’s Mack The Knife, C Smoove, Rob Focuz, X Kon, Idle, and Daddy Fingaz, and hosts Krafty MC and K.I.D who combine in various configurations to produce an energetic DJ show covering the full spectrum of breakbeat music.   It’s certainly not a scene for the feint-hearted, and the unique live experience has led to the group landing a residency at rave-giants Raindance as well as performing at various other venues supporting acts such as the Scratch Perverts and the Drunken Allstars themselves. The Breakfastaz, the Autobots, Aquasky, Drumattic Twins, Dreadzone and Shut Up & Dance to name but a few.   The outfit also run their own successful Apply The Breaks and This Is Oldskool parties in their home-town of Luton, in Bedfordshire. Apply the Breaks as a night has thrice been listed in DJ mags top 10 nights in the land, repeatedly as pick of the week in local press.   Individually, the crew have their own projects, which include promoting the long-running Monday Club night at The Horn in St Albans and have held the 4-6pm Sunday slot on underground radio stations RAW FM for over 4 years. C Smoove has recently joined household names such as Future Funk Squad, General Midi, Hardcore Beats, Born Idle and Far Too Loud on internet radio station I Breaks, holding the Wed 8-10pm slot rotating fortnightly with the Mofo show. Krafty MC won Next Generation MC at the Raveology Drum and Bass awards 2006.   The crew also produce their own tracks, the first release from Dekoy and Rob Focuz hit stores in April on Control Breaks Records. Well received this spent the first 2 weeks of its release in the top 10 download and vinyl charts at Juno and Breakbeat Online.   More recently, they have secured a second residency at Read the Crowd, and have appeared at venues in Ibiza and Poland, with returns to both destinations planned for later in the year.     Residencies   • Raindance   • Apply the Breaks   • Monday Club     Music Styles:   • Breakbeat   • Nu Skool Breaks   • Rave Breaks   • Electro House     Productions   • Dekoy and Rob Focuz â€" “Chunk the Funkâ€� â€" Control Breaks Records   • Dekoy and Rob Focuz â€" “Shakedownâ€� â€" Unsigned   • Dekoy and Rob Focuz â€" “Hands in the Airâ€� â€" Unsigned   • Many more in the pipeline
