What genre is this?

http://s24.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=...W12J29O1F9XOTO0

I was wondering which genre this music belongs to... it's a remix of a trance song but the beat layout is totally different. I've been listening to this for quite a while but don't know what kind of genre to put it under.

that would be some variation of a style, aptly named "breaks".

oh... I always thought of "breaks" as a down-tempo hiphop thing... I guess it has many different variations... I sure do love this one!

well, yeah, i said breaks as a style, rather than a genre, because that beat signature is used in maaaaaany types of tracks. its used in trance breakdowns alot (SO overused), hiphop, ive heard it in techno, idm, and especially progressive, among other genres.

I hear many tracks with mainly this type of beat. I guess it's mixed in with the rest of the trance... but I sometimes go to clubs that play only this kind of music and it rocks the house. I was wondering if there was any kind of website or online store to purchase these kinds of tracks.
