Ages ago Break Mode made this laid back edit of Cocteau Twins beauty “Pink Orange Red” for his Cafe del Gumar DJ sets and mixes. Although it eventually surfaced online, it was never meant for widespread sharing. However, due to growing interest, Gumar gave the track a light remaster, and now it proudly joins the Edit Factory series.

“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.”

Pacific Northwest based Gumar aka Break Mode emerges with tapestries of sound that explore a spectrum ranging from the hypnotic elements of dub and trip hop to the enigmatic rhythms and melodies of krautrock and left-field disco, to the pulsating beats of electro.
Compositions, such as "Wash One" and "Stabs," transcend the ordinary, blossoming into profound experiences. While tracks like "Bob the Dub" and "Banana Cabana," contain dreamy sun-soaked saxophone lines, inviting listeners to unwind on the beach alongside the ocean’s trance-inducing waves. His recent remix of “Unlikely Seeming” by the legendary DMX Krew shows his ability to allow movements to seamlessly cross over into other genres defying the expectations of the listener while still allowing them to easily move across a dancefloor.
Stay tuned for upcoming compositions, edits, remixes, and DJ mixes as he continuously works on these endeavors, as well as side projects Cafe del Gumar, Wormbox, and Freak Out! while also throwing events and managing the Bed of Roses label/collective.

“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.”

“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.”
