Is Dave Miller's beautiful debut album "Mitchells Raccolta" the first 'minimal broken beat' record? While the question, included within press material accompanying the release, might be intended rhetorically, it also astutely highlights one of the album's distinguishing characteristics. The label 'broken beat' refers to off-kilter, syncopated rhythms that suggest traces of jazz, breakbeat, drum & bass, and house, but it's also used to describe more broadly a polyglot style that elusively transcends a single genre slot while simultaneously incorporating elements of house, breakbeat, techno, funk, soul, and jazz..
