Confiture à la plage - Ruby My Dear
We don’t have to say anything. It’s Ruby My Dear! This album is incredible, we’ve found it very hard to stop listening. The tracks were so amazing live at Rave Against The Machine. Absolutely insane album, maybe one of the best we’ve heard in years!

This ep has such a beautiful soundscape… Mellow idm vibes with some serious breaks… Massively atmospheric… Makes me want to curl up on the top of a hill in a warm foresty place…

Microchipped Dub Dog - MidSizedSedance
Not exactly breakcore, but we had to put this ep on here cause it’s so frickin cool! 8-bit-esque downtempo hardcore produced on a Gameboy! Really slaps, and goes to show you that you really don’t need any advanced gear to make amazing music.

Mix Of The Month
Little bit of old, little bit of new. Hardtek - Jungle - Breakcore - Hardcore mix. - M5K
Okay. This one is a bit older than one month, and was technically released at the end of September, but we don’t care!!! This is a mix of all tracks from M5K, with a bunch of unreleased ones that really really slap. M5K has an insane unreleased discography, get 2 know and look forward to the songs releasing at some point!!!

Upcoming events
SIKE! Sorry to disappoint anyone, but we decided over here to discontinue this section of the newsletter. It’s too much to keep up with events, we’ve struggled to find the time without this section, so for the health of the newsletter, we’re just going to nuke this section, and it won’t come around again.
In the future, we may do articles that feature really cool events, or something of that ilk, but a monthly roundup of upcoming events this month just felt like too much to stay on top of. Sorry gang! Hopefully the releases/singles/mix is enough for people to want to read!
Bit rambly now, but if anyone out there has tips or tricks for keeping up with lots of events, or even if you personally want to run a section on upcoming events, please hit us up at thebreakcorebugle@gmail.com!
Thanks!
Thanks for reading! See you next month. We have some more really fun articles in the works we can’t wait to share.
