about

A collection of early experimental breakbeat 1992-1994

Friends, Lovers & Family are a pioneering techno art-house breakbeat trio whose work sits at the fractured edge of electronic music. Formed over 30 years ago, their sound emerged from the underground where broken rhythms, raw machines, and experimental instinct collided — long before breakbeat became a genre with rules.

Drawing from techno, early rave, industrial textures and cut-up funk, FLF built tracks that were as much about tension and atmosphere as dancefloor impact. Their music resists polish, favouring grit, space, and rhythm that bends and mutates rather than settles.

Across released material, unreleased archives, and long-buried DAT recordings, Friends, Lovers & Family document a restless creative spirit — one that treats electronic music as process, experiment, and emotional transmission. Their work feels both of its time and strangely outside it: a reminder of when machines were explored, not domesticated.

Now revisited and remastered, their catalogue stands as a vital snapshot of early experimental breakbeat culture — uncompromising, forward-thinking, and deeply human beneath the circuitry.
