Big Break Records

Big Break Records (BBR) is a label that specialises in classic black dance music from the sixties, seventies and eighties. We plan to take listeners on a journey that starts with psychedelic soul and jazz though funk and philly soul,on to disco and then to street soul, pop dance and electro.

Hot Shot Records is a brand new imprint from the BBR team that is set to breathe life back into a variety of smart pop, dance gems and hidden treasures from the 1980’s. The label kicks off with Expanded Edition reissue of JoBoxers’ debut album.

Delegation: Eau De Vie, Expanded CD Edition
Delegation

£9.95

Notable songs on this album include the groovy first single, ‘Put A Little Love On Me’, full of raw Funk bass lines and smooth Lynton Naismith organ paired with dazzling and driving yet subtle guitar licks giving it a slight Calypso groove. This winning formula was continued into the second single ‘You And I’, with the guitar coming forward and the group really showcasing their vocal chemistry from the opening. DELEGATION turned up the disco for ‘Heartache No. 9’ adding a powerful string and horn section to a track that is currently receiving an overdue renaissance on the UK club scene.
