Florida Breaks Artists
While Kimball Collins and Dave Cannalte were promoting the sounds of progressive house and trance at the legendary Ahzz, DJ Stylus & D-Xtreme are considered the pioneers since it is they who inspired and introduced countless patrons of the Abyss to the genre of Breakbeat. Brad Smith and Huda Hudia were regular guest DJ's at the Abyss as they too were promoting and playing breakbeat at residencies in Tampa. The first production in Florida Breaks can be attributed to DJ Icee or now known as DJ Icey. His numerous labels and countless releases served as the pioneering sound of Florida Breaks, and he was the first to put Florida Breaks on the map globally. Later successful productions were followed by Brad Smith, Huda Hudia, & Dave London out of Tampa. It was the efforts of these first 6 artists that paved the way for other artists, who in their own right, successfully followed. They are in no order, Friction & Spice, Funk Lab, Mike & Charlie, Tony Faline, DJ Volume, Baby Anne, Sharaz, Rob-E and Security, DJ Marmik, Eric Berretta, Fixx, Infiniti, Malicious Mike, DJ Q, DJ 34, Dave Berg, Jackal & Hyde, Merlin, Rick West, R Fresh, Teknatronik and countless others all of whom promoted, produced, and pioneered what is now known as "Florida Breaks."
