Beatbox Burning (Lunatics 10-Ton Breaks Mix)
This remix was originally created in 1999 during a strange in-between phase for Lunatic Calm. We were stuck in contractual limbo with MCA/Universal, and studio time was infrequent. But every now and then, we’d fire things up just for the love of it — and this was one of those sessions.
Beatbox Burning became a bit of a live favourite. It was raw, punky, and relentless — a proper 4-to-the-floor stomper. The original version never made it onto an album, but this remix feels like it finally captures the spirit of what it became on stage.
By this point, I was already three years into my Elite Force project, and that influence is unmistakable here. It’s gritty, heavy, and full of that early big beat/breaks crossover energy — with maybe a dash of Chemical Brothers in the mix too.
This track is also the final single to be released ahead of the full album, More Lunatic Than Calm Vol.1, which drops August 8th.
The album is the first in a deep archival dive into lost, unreleased, and rare material from the 1996–2002 era — a time that shaped so much of what came after. It’s raw, unfiltered, and a full-blooded reflection of the heavier side of Lunatic Calm.
More calm material to come soon… but for now, crank this one up.
