Have u given breaks a go?

like breaks boom, boom....... hell muthafuckin YEAH!!
actually, for me breaks came first, kinda - at my first "rave" i ended up in the breaks room and stayed there the entire night...... mmmmmmmm, 2 dogs. it actually took me a while to find trance and all the other wide varieties of music briz has to offer - nrg, hard-nrg, nu-nrg, hardhouse, hardcore.......
so yeah, love the breaks, always have, always will......

.... rapture tastes so sweet ....

One of the best nights out I ever had was Breaks Ahoy II where Brewster B, Phil K and Ransom played back to back 2 hour sets while we cruised the Melbourne dockways in a wee boat!

Check out the FSUK series which showcases many different styles of breaks, incl. Bentley Rhythm Ace, Freestylers, Cut La Roc and Derek Dahlarge.
 
breaxrape?
now theres an unexplored concept. If any of you little punks wanna try breaks/dnb/jungle, I can show you the crew/ropes. Dont get intimidated, where not really that bad [you miniscule little shitz], see ya on the dancefloor stylin, we see who da baddest ass of dem all.
-we got da funk, ah ha, ah ha, ah ha, we got da fuh, fuh, funk
 
yes yes, breakz is the shit.
i think i first heard that dance breaks sound when resin dogs played down here about four years ago or something like that.. i started getting into that sound before i got into trance and other 4onthefloor beatz, and then came back to them when looking for some variety.
what i find is that breakbeat oriented music encompasses a much larger variety of sounds, and as lazer licker said to begin with, you get a lot of different sounds coming through.
thats one of the main reasons i like it.
 
i think the first time i was really truly introduced to breaks was a nite at @mosphere when brewster b and phil k were spinning in the backroom and i havnt looked back...theres just something about breaks and breaks parties that is undescribable and right...
smile.gif

one of my favorite party moments is the two minutes my friend and i took to sit down from dancing at Tayo @ 33.3333 and we looked over the crowd with the incredible energy of people having a wikkid time to wikkid music and its moments like that that keep me going out...and cuz i have nothing better to do...

dont dream it...be it. (the rocky horror picture show)
 
I agree that a musical style can never be forced onto someone...that they need to discover it for themselves. But sometimes you need a friend to drag you to something in order for you to discover it.
smile.gif

No...I haven't discovered breaks yet. And to be honest I really don't want to jump on the bandwagon seeing that *everyone* seems to be getting into breaks. Stupid attitude maybe but I hate liking what the masses like.
And listening to the awful Florida 'breaks' (which was bland and boring) has probably soured my thoughts on breaks in general.
What I find frustrating though is the musical genre snobbery that can exist. Just because I like a musical style that isn't breaks doesn't mean that style is shit. I enjoy it. That's all that matters. And I don't walk around saying breaks is shit either. I just haven't got into it. yet.

"I hate liking what the masses like"
Not a stupid attitude at all Miss Apples. When you look at how dim-witted the masses are then who would want to associate themselves with anything they like?

He's tricking us into meaning and pulling the rug out from under us at the same time. A nod, wink and a power fade to a culture that can't contain the labelisms any longer--the trickster is always the most subversive element in any culture--he leads us to our demise while inducing us to laugh, dance and die along the way.
 
as of this thread breaks are officially uncool. nice to see some of you fucking gurners have come around.
lol @ a hard house lover not being able to find groove in breaks.
p.s. general midi isnt midfield general. the difference is, general midi is good, and midfield general is shit.
well mom, im pissed off
 
I know this is probably not what you intended miss apple, but this is the way it came across... You said:

Yet before that you said:

Isn't that snobbery in itself?
However I'm guessing you meant that you're not going to get into it just because everyone else is, you would rather find some appeal in the music because its quality music, not just because everyone else things its good and therefore you should too... Am I right?
Snrub:

Typo? Breaks are officially uncool? WTF?
 
tars:
i was mega pissed off when i wrote that, it was kind of a joke and kind of just venting. i dont profess to be the original oldskool breaks lover but id say ive been a fan longer than most of the people on BL, having originally come to electronic music through hip hop. 50% of all new topics on the music/djs forum are now variations on 'hi can you tell me some good breaks tracks'. and hearing a hard house lover saying he didnt get into breaks originally because he couldnt find a groove to it was pretty much the funniest thing i ever heard.
so basically yeah im being a music snob, but not for bad reason. because the more people that like breaks the sooner people realise its a market to be exploited and start releasing half arsed formulaic breaks tracks (has begun already, dj icey, bleh) and the sooner we start seeing 'ultimate breaxxxz hitz volume 17' compilations etc.
i dont want to see breaks go the way of trance and the way progressive house is heading, where 90% of the tunes and cds released are fuct. so maybe its better if not everyone likes breaks.
BTW i like lots of other music, pretty much all sorts of music as long as its not formulaic is intelligent and doesnt sound the same as every other tune in the genre. sorry about that other post (and this one) but theres something bugging me and i cant figure out what it is.
 
Snrub im gonna pull you there.... you being a hell music snob..
smile.gif
. and to say all trance and pro house albums are fuct.. is quite quite silly.... breaks is just going through a bit of hay day, i honestly dont beleive that breaks has the substance to be huge like trance etc..(in terms of mass appeal, dancefloor material) as good as breaks are, i can never see 5000 people gurning to it at the megadome ya know what i mean? by your attitude Snrub is hell snobby there... man i went to high school with you... its not like your were king O breaks by anymeans.. hip hop and punk mebee.... soon enough you wont like anymusic if you keep up your snobbish ways, apart from tin can, electro bleep, fuzzy bass crazy "Im on Lsd" music hehehehe
i bet the first time you heard breaks you didnt start dancing all over the place like a loon etc. to get pissed off cause someone wh0 likes hardhouse, because they can dance their off to it,, couldnt get their groove intially to breaks is no reason to get pissed off hehe... i mean perhaps they were listening to SHIT BREAKS, and just like any other genre, their are heaps of shit tracks and stuff that really doesnt go anywhere or appeal to someone who has never listened b4..
soon you'll run out of formula's and breaks will subside into the back room and "old school nights" just like the rave breaks of 91 onwards have since faded into obsecurity.. its all a cycle...
*runs and gurners to take me away*
ahhh phat ambient rave breaks (you could be forgiven to not being able to find your groove with these, they were just made to gurn to.... [you can beg to differ, but your really clutching at straws])
taaaakee meeee awwwwaaaay
toooo anooothherr plaaacee

glowgurlz: MUCH funnier the 2nd time.... i thought when RBB said it, that it couldnt be funnier, but the 2nd time is truley, truely special
 
yeah i did state that i was being a music snob and also admitted im not a hell oldskool breakbeat fan, i am however a pretty olskool hip hop fan, so much so that i get payed out for supposedly liking black men (cheers stylin), and it was a love of hiphop that progressed into breaks (which is basically just hiphop without the black man
smile.gif
)
anyway that wasnt the point, i wasnt trying to say 'oh ive liked breaks longer than all of you' because its probably not true. the point was that its funny how people who used to write breaks off now confess like it.
i dont know if id want to see breaks do huge events (although fuzzy are hoping to get 8000 on nye day... to a mostly breaks event) and its unrealistic to expect such things. the good thing about most breaks djs is that theyre not scared to play a house track (freeland put freak frequency on tectonics) and breaks producers are also not scared to mash it up with some 4/4 stuff (plumps - electric disco). also the spectrum of what is called 'breakbeat' is huge. breaks has pretty much split off into so many directions its unrealistic to expect it to draw in 5000 people to a stadium. consider the following 'breaks' tracks and how different they are:
freestylers: bboy stance
hybrid: finished symphony
stoneproof: she does (quivver alternate mix)
prodigy: out of space
freq nasty and deekline: posse and crew
these would fit easily into a hiphop, trance, prog, rave and dnb set respectively, better than they would fit together.
what the fuck am i trying to say? ferget it.
 
I agree with Snrub to a degree here. Although Ive only listened to breaks for a few years, after first seeing Freq Nasty, the explosion of the style in Sydney is for one reason only.
Fuzzy decided to push the sound. The cheesy side of it. Which is cool. I wish they'd decided to go down the Freeland, freq Nasty, T-Power, Bushwacka road but hey.
It'll die down when Fuzzy decide to push something else.
