The unofficial leader of the Breakin Bread team, Skeg is
in charge of making sure shit goes down. Skeg and DJ Rob Life have
been running the Breakin Bread club night and record label since
1998, promoting the nights, signing artists, putting out records,
playing countless gigs and festivals, the whole shebang. Breakin
Bread started in a pub in Brixton.

As soon as heads heard about the all elements and funk
combination that BB were pushing they started coming down in
their droves.
Breakin Bread soon had to move venue and went first to Jax under
London Bridge and then since 2003 it's been at The Rhythm Factory
in Whitechapel.
Skeg and Rob Life became friends in their early teens due to
a love of hip hop. They are both record collectors and have
an interest in all elements of a musical scene. As a result
it wasn't long before the boys started releasing their own records
and in 2000 the Breakin Bread Record Label was born. |
In addition to the club and the label, the Breakin Bread
collective (of over 20 DJ's, producers and musicians) are involved
in radio shows and gigs all over the world. Breakin Bread's origins
come from Skeg's student days at Sheffield uni. Whilst there, the
young Skeg began putting on well received Hip Hop and Funk nights.
Once he moved to London this blueprint was expanded on to form Breakin
Bread as we now know it. Skeg has links to all elements of Hip Hop
and has been incorporating them into Breakin Bread (in its various
forms) since the beginning.
Skeg is just as much a radio presenter as a DJ. You can catch his
regular shows on Itch FM, every Sunday from 4pm - 6pm.
