     Bejeweled bad boys, voluptuous beauties, fast cars, and heavy
     beats. All the ingredients for a good hip-hop video you say? Well,
     you'd be half right...the Indian film industry known as Bollywood
     was featuring all that and more in its films and soundtracks as far
     back as the 60's and 70's. While various hustlers, gangsters, and
     divas pursued one another in Technicolor frenzy, their on-screen
     antics were scored with a unique blend of eastern and western
     musical styles notable for some of the funk-fuelled rhythms that
     propelled them.

     Inspired by the jazz, funk, and soul music filtering into Bombay
     from America and Europe, the deft session players of Bollywood's
     recording studios injected their own saffron-tinged take on western
     rhythms into the films' backing tracks. The result is an immense
     library of movie soundtracks that combine the traditional Indian
     film music vocabulary of soaring strings and drifting flutes with
     western-styled funky drumbreaks, grooving basslines, and scratcy
     wah-wah guitars.

     For the committed beat-freak, some of the finest musical moments
     occur during the interlude sections, where the musicians were set
     free to play rhythm-heavy, instrumental versions of the film's big
     songs. As DJs, we at Outcaste sat up and took notice, immediately
     recognizing that there were some potent grooves lurking in these
     soundtracks.

     And so, here is Bollywood Breaks. Taking the inspiration for our
     Bollywood Funk compilation one step further, we've searched out
     some of the best breakbeats to be found in Bombay and distilled
     them into their purest, heaviest form. This is also a creation
     inspired by the Outcaste DJs, who have been cutting and mixing
     these percussive gems into their club sets for years. So whether
     you're a DJ in constant pursuit of fresh breaks, or just a casual
     fan of soulful, bouncing rhythms, this sampler is a satisfying look
     into the Bombay film world's impressive contribution to the funky
     breakbeat scene.

     We've gone and sifted through dusty piles of vinyl to bring you the
     very best Bollywood has to offer, and we hope you enjoy the results
     as much as we do...
