Breakbeat : history
Breakbeat evolved from late '80's rave
by combining hip-hop rhythms and mixing tricks (back, spins,
etc,) with techno-rave keyboards and sampling techniques. This
style was revamped in 1998 by groups like Music Instructor,
Solid Force, Sybtronic and other. Attributes: Funky rhythm
tracks, lots of samples and choppy mixes, sped-up "chipmunk" vocal
loops, frenetic explosive energy. 135 to 170 BPM. Examples
of groups originally recording in this style include; Smart
E's, Sonz Of A Loop Da Loop Era, Prodigy, Q-Bass, Pascal Device,
RMB, DJ Hooligan, Raver's Nature, Music Instructor and everything
on the Suburban Bass, Production House or Moving Shadow.
