a break. Its kinda hard to explain. Usually old school funk beats that have been sampled and used to death (ie; Amen, Funky Drummer). Do a websearch for 'Breakbeat Sample Wav Download' and you should come up with a few examples that would give you a better idea than and description. |

Best way to describe Breakbeat is Fat Boy Slim with alot more scraches and drum riffs I like it! |

The term comes from old funk records where the all the other instruments drop out and just the drummer plays solo... i.e. Time for a Break... Early DJs found that kids would dance like shit to the break and so in an effort to extend the action, so to speak, they'd mix 2 copies of the records, with one playing the breakbeat...and then the other and swicharound again and so on.... Most famous example would be Funky Drummer by James Brown...have a listen to the original & you'll hear the break that lauched a thousand carreers... Nowadays, instead of using 2 records, producers just sample the required bars : say 1 or 2 bars of the break, and then loop it....giving you a complete rhythm track to build upon.... Thats the gist of it... |

In terms of genre, Breakbeat is generally used to describe tracks that are built around these sampled & looped drum breaks... People like me old muckers The Prodigy etc... Further developments in using breaks come from cutting the break into different parts and then resequencing the parts in whatever order to create whole new rhytms...the breaks are often speed up or down using Timestetching or Pitch Shifting which creates whole new rhytmic textures ... Notable examples of this are the obvious Amen break, which forms the basis of most DnB , Jungle etc...(even AFX has used it...)...but there are loads of others that get used..Apache, Think etc...Generally named after the record they come from... |

Wow....I would have never put Roni Size or Krust in a "breakbeat" catagory...but hey...to each his own.... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
oh yeah...forgot to mention HipHop (how could I forget the master, the originator???) ...thats the real root of using Breakbeats for rhythm trax.... I'll get on with some work now... Hope this helps... |

The trouble is there is a genre called Breakbeat that cover peeps like the Prodge, CM etc... but loads of other forms of music rely on breaks also, altho they're not labeled as "Breakbeat"...Roni Size, krust etc...all jungle/DnB relies on break beats for the rhythm (tho they are, like I said, generally a lot more creative and don't just "LOOP 2 Bars" etc...).. |

Squarepusher uses BREAk beats to death. amen break - The winstons Melvin Bliss break is a very nice one. |
||||||||

Yeah, I think that where AFX got over his adversion to using breaks...Tom J certainly hasn't got any quarms about using the standards...(That said, a lot of Aphex rhythms are recreations of classic drum loops..generally redone on a drumM or Sampler)... |

Breakbeat Era... I love it! I thought Break beats were fairly individual sharp drum beats that get cleanly chopped up? Am I wrong? |
