Kazahaya is Breakin Bread's Japanese beatmaker with that classic boom bap sound. He's also a collector of soul, funk, jazz and hip hop vinyl with numerous mix CDs to his name. We first heard his productions when he was looking for distribution in Europe and we were blown away by his beats....they weren't your standard new school beats, nor were they your throwback to the golden era copycat beats. Kaza has his own style of beats with soul, they vibrate with passion and swing with finesse. He has gone on to release a number of his own productions on Breakin Bread wax and he has opened us up to a whole world of Japanese beats. To celebrate his latest release http://www.breakinbread.org/bnb074.htm he has put together a podcast of his favourite Japanese beats. This isnt a mix of soul, funk and jazz, its a mix of beats with soul, funk and jazz. Spot the samples......
