February 2002 sees the breakbeat sound, catogorised by the English media as "Nu-Skool Breaks", hitting Auckland with prominent East London producer / dj B.L.I.M playing one night only at MIX, 262 Krd.

If you asked any of the respected breakbeat producers who they rated highly In the scene, no matter what particular tip they're on, you could guarantee that one name would be right up there.

B.L.I.M. aka Gervase Cooke is one of the most important figures on the Breaks scene. He's a Producer/Remixer & International DJ based in East London. He started his recording career as a Drum N Bass artist releasing many tunes on Emotif and SOUR before moving over to Botchit & Scarper when he caught the breaks bug a few years ago.

Beginning his musical life from an essentially classical orchestral base of piano and violin, he's used his musical knowledge to produce some of the most influential breaks in the World.

He has remixed a series of landmark tunes for Circulation, Hooj, and Eruption and his rework of Anthony Rother's 'Red Light District' has just been selected by Dave Clarke for his World Service compilation. His collaboration with former stable mate Freq Nasty produced some memorable remixes included Steve Reich's 'Desert Music' and Metisse's 'Sousound".

His collaboration last year with Rennie Pilgrem, Eskimo on the TCR label, was another 'must have' tune earning third place in Musik magazine's top dance tunes for 2001. 2001 also saw BLIM mix the new compilation cd on TCR, Modernism, and the beginning of his own label, Track.
