Breakbeat Era

Real Name:
Ryan Owen Granville Williams, Daniel Robert Kausman & Leonie Laws
Profile:
Breakbeat Era was a short-lived British project that combined the breakbeat talents of drum and bass producers Roni Size and DJ Die with the vocals of singer Leonie Laws.

Spearheaded by the single "Ultra Obscene", and then released as an album under the same title in 1999, "Ultra-Obscene". It was one of the first rock/pop/drum & bass fusion albums; a genre which similar artists Kosheen also later explored.

Since the album seems to be a one-off project, other releases are unlikely.
