Bio

Pacific Northwest based Break Mode utilizes influences of dub, krautrock, trip hop, EBM, and left-field disco in his original productions, remixes, and DJ sets . His EPs Wash One and Televisions showcase immersive, textured production. His recent remix of DMX Krew’s Unlikely Seeming blurs genre lines seamlessly while remaining a dancefloor heater. Additionally, he also manages the Bed of Roses collective and works on side projects Freak Out! and Wormbox.

Press

“To finish the album, 'Unlikely Seeming' is given a rework by Portland-based artist Break Mode, managing to achieve a remix that is at once ethereal and uplifting - it has 4am written all over it.”
-Ban Ban Ton Ton on DMX Krew - Unlikely Seeming (Break Mode Remix)

“Best New Deep House May 2024”
-Beatport on DMX Krew - Unlikely Seeming (Break Mode Remix)

“Break Mode's ‘Unlikely Seeming’ remix adds dub and garage flavours to hypnotic electronica.”
-Bleep on DMX Krew - Unlikely Seeming (Break Mode Remix)

“Break Mode, the man behind that blinding ON-U-esque remix of Betamax a little while back, returns with a new track, Bob The Dub, on his own imprint, Bed Of Roses. Pretty piano echoes over a sparse 808-like beat, where it`s joined by a bouncing bionic bucolic arpeggio, and a swooning synthetic melody, that has something of The Cocteau Twins about it. Some very cool Soft Cell “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye” clarinet (or is it a soprano sax?) then provides the pièce de résistance, soloing all over the top of this robotic romance.”
-Ban Ban Ton Ton on Break Mode - Bob the Dub

“Bold bass undulations, shuffling shakers, the serious skanking syncopation of Sub-Vision receives a final remix. Break Mode setting its tape rewinds and shape-shifting sine waves to a slamming, semi-industrial, ON-U-esque beat.”
