FEATURED ARTICLE – Shaggy & Breeze

Two brothers, two sounds, one set.

There is no hype about Shaggy & Breeze. They’ve worked slowly and steadily to build up their reputations to the point where they’re regularly playing major clubs and events up and down the country. When we talked to them we were struck by both similarities and differences. In looks they both wear their hair long, Shaggy fair and Breeze dark. Shaggy’s the elder by three years and acts as the spokesman, but Breeze definately holds his own opinions. When playing out they don’t work out their set beforehand, but take a selection of records to suit any crowd. They pride themselves on reacting to the ravers both as to what they play and to who plays. Breeze plays more bass, Shaggy more bouncy and dancey. They also chuck in lots of their own bits, like the Speaking clock and crowd noises, which is partly in reaction to what they perceive as the blandness of much of the music that is being issued. Quantity, rather than quality is how they see some record companies output. They feel that this is reflected in todays events which can be totally predictable, compared to the old days, when you never knew how the night would tum out.

We last saw them playing at Reincarnation, where Breeze played the majority of the rocking set, and their MC, MC II Reel, whipped up the crowd all the way.

Their future plans include more vinyl, but not necessarily under their own name, and to carry on doing just what they do best.
