Released originally on Jay Cunning's Sub Slayers imprint back in 2012, Toronto Is Broken's debut "Move It" EP turns a whole 10 years old!
Christian Hoffmann, then 18, dropped this EP at the height of the Future Jungle movement, merging old school rave and jungle with then modern production techniques of dubstep and d&b at 140bpm. The release made a massive impact on the bass music scene, most notably with "Spirit Song 2012" which was supported by everyone from Sub Focus, to Paul Oakenfold and The Crystal Method to Netsky. The track was also officially licenced as the main theme at Boomtown Festival's Arcadia Spectacular showcase for a number of years, becoming an official anthem of the festival.
A decade on, TIB has released 3 full length studio albums, "Section Nine" (2015 Sub Slayers)", "You Are (Not) Alone" (2018 Viper Recordings) & "Clare" (2020 YANA Music) shifting his sound from multi-genre bass music to a blend of modern metal and dancefloor drum & bass, creating a true identity to his sound. As well as releasing on a whole range of big labels such as Viper, RAM, Technique and even Republic records. As well as now running his own label YANA Music, Christian has found his home with US metal / electronic crossover label FiXT.
To commemorate the release, it only felt right for things to go full circle and be celebrated on Toronto Is Broken's own imprint YANA Music, with remixes from three of it's upcoming stars, Lateral, Mojay & Corrupted Mind, artists of whom are in a similar position to where TIB was 10 years prior. The EP also features the original mixes from the EP, as well as "Spirit Song 2017" which was a 5-year anniversary rendition of "Spirit Song 2012" originally released on Sub Slayer's 50th release.
