breakbeat does not have dominant bass-lines. d'n'b does. |

Are we sitting comfortably....yes?..then I'll begin... Breakbeat....as a genre refers to acts like Prodigy and a lot of the early Rave acts 90/91/92/93, who used Breakbeat Loops as the basis of their Rhythms...There was a little processing/cutting up of breaks but generally the complete loop would be used...very danceable...BPMS .. 130 - 160..perhaps higher... DnB...a bit later, 94/95/96, a much "Blacker" sound, fusing elements of Jamaican Reggae/dancehall, Raves Breakbeat artists, Detroit Techno etc. into a new sound... mainly focused on suprise suprise, Drums & Bass... The drums were generally Breakbeats, cutup and rearranged into new rhythms, much more creative use of breaks than the Breakbeat cru..Also a lot faster 160-200BPM but with bassline running at half that speed (i.e. you dance to the bass not the drums).....Also lots of SUBSONIC bass, low-tuned 808 BDs...Artists like Photek, Roni Size, Dj Zinc etc... Fat Boy Slim....does use breaks but his sound is a lot slower than the standard Breakbeat artists... Generally referred to as BIG BEAT - includes FBS, The Chemical Bros... Phew... One thing to remember is that these names are really just handy tags for jornalists etc..dance Music has a habit of choosing nu names for each and every development even when a lot of the styles are VERY similar and many artists/sounds could fit into one or more genres/sub-genre... |

A lot of these musical styles can also be seperated by the drug of choice of the scene in question... BreakB....EEEEEEEE..speed Big Beat....EEE & lager... Jungle...Weed...e (but don't tell anyone).. DnB....Weed...Coke...e/speed(but pretend it's coke).. UK Garage...Coke, Coke, Coke & Coke... I'm sure someones done a Thesis on this...(perhaps good old Sadie Plant..On Drugs...perhaps...ps. Sadie, if you are reading this, fancy a date sometime?..you made me equate Intelligence=Sexiness...even tho I've never seen you, & I'm a ugly charmless old fuck..let me know ok..).. ....always worth a try...;) ... |
