He may only be 18, but Toronto Is Broken (Christian Hoffmann) is already making his mark bass music scene. Hailing from Barwell, Leicestershire, a village known as the manufacturing home of Noble cars and Hornby train sets, Toronto Is Broken already runs his own non-profit record label, Dual Signal Records, has played abroad and received BBC 1xtra support for his track “Into My Eyes”.
It’s clear Christian is keen not to be pigeon holed into one genre as this EP clearly shows. Spanning across Future Jungle, Drum Bass and Dubstep Toronto Is Broken shows us he’s clearly in the run for one to watch in 2012.
Heading up the EP is the fiercely energetic ‘Taking Over’ with its complex beats, uplifting pianos and deadly dubstepesque bass lines – peak time all the way!
Stepping up next is a no holds barred DnB track ‘Cold Contact’; a cross between DJ Fresh Sub Focus with sweet leads and devastating bass drops.
‘Move It’ can only be described as the most disgusting Dubstep riddim you ever heard, seriously this has to be played to be believed!
Getting a 2012 maker over is TiB’s ‘Spirit Song 2012’ with its haunting vocals that can be likened to The Prodigy’s ‘Smack My Bitch Up’, beautifully dangerous.

Massive Attack are an English DJ and trip hop duo from Bristol, England consisting of Robert “3D” Del Naja and Grant “Daddy G” Marshall. Working with co-producers, as well as various session musicians and guest vocalists, they make records and tour live. The duo are considered to be progenitors of the trip hop genre. Their debut album, Blue Lines was released in 1991, with the single “Unfinished Sympathy” reaching the charts and later being voted the 10th greatest song of all time in a poll by The Guardian.
Massive Attack started as a spin-off production trio in 1988, with the independently-released song, “Any Love”, sung by falsetto-voiced singer-songwriter Carlton McCarthy, and then, with considerable backing from Neneh Cherry, they signed to Circa Records in 1990 – committing to deliver six studio albums and a “best of” compilation.Circa became a subsidiary of, and was later subsumed into, Virgin Records, which in turn was acquired by EMI.Blue Lines (1991), was co-produced by Jonny Dollar and Cameron McVey, who also became their first manager.Geoff Barrow, who went on to form Portishead, was an intern and trainee tape operator at Bristol’s Coach House studio when the album was recorded.McVey (credited at the time as ‘Booga Bear’) and his wife, Neneh Cherry provided crucial financial support and in-kind assistance to the early careers of Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky during this period, even paying regular wages to them through their Cherry Bear Organisation.Massive Attack went on to critical acclaim for their ever-changing line-up of distinctive, often ‘ethereal’ or whispery guest vocalists, interspersed with Del Naja and Marshall’s (initially Tricky’s) own, similarly hushed, sprechgesang stylings, on top of what became regarded as an essentially British creative sampling production; a trademark sound that fused down-tempo hip hop, soul, reggae and other eclectic references, musical and lyrical. With Protection in 1994, Mezzanine in 1998, and then Robert Del Naja’s essentially solo 100th Window in 2003, Massive’s overall sound grew persistently more experimental and melancholic, having a greater degree of gothic post-punk texture and moodily cinematic electronica integrated within.
In the nineties, the trio became known for often not being able to easily get along with one another and working increasingly separately. Andy Vowles (Mushroom), who had once thought of himself as the trio’s musical director, reluctantly and acrimoniously left Massive Attack permanently in late 1999
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy (by MassiveAttackBristol)
In April 1982 a small British company, led by Sir Clive Sinclair, launched the ZX Spectrum computer and sparked a revolution.
The small, black computer with iconic rubber keys ignited the home computer age in the UK and beyond, led to an explosion in computer manufacturing and developed software programming talent that is still in evidence today.
The computer was the brainchild of British technology entrepreneur Sir Clive Sinclair who also, with the Sinclair Cambridge, developed one of the first cheap and slim pocket calculators in 1972.
The Spectrum was the third home computer to be released by Sinclair - following the ZX80 and ZX81 - but was the first aimed squarely at the home.
The machine came in two models - £125 for a 16KB machine and £175 for a 48KB machine, making it one of the first affordable machines.
