So, what you guys think about the ever growing breaks scene?
I went out tonight completely forgetting that Freq Nasty was playing. Arrived in time for his set and had quite a good time.
He played very funky / party breaks, and you pretty much cant help NOT to dance to that stuff. Crowd was loving it, but i lost momentum very quickly.
I could recognise about half his tracks (not names though) so it was pretty mainstream breaks I guess, since i dont know a lot about them.
I also found that they seemed to all sound the same after a while. Haha, only really so much you can do with breaks, and the sound doesnt seem like its changed much since breaks started becoming popular.
So I guess I'm more for the techier / deeper type of breaks, but not on thier own, moreso incorporated into a prog set, which adds to the diversity of a prog set, something I will dance to all night.
Yer, anyway, thought Id have a rant instead of going to bed.
Be interesting to see what the more trancey ppl on here tihnk about them, as I tihnk most prog guys like them at least a little. |

Personally I think Breaks + Trance are going to become one .. alot of new tracks i've received promo copies of are very break beat during the breakdowns, but with trance riffs and some 4/4 during the main sections..
new sets from the "leaders" in trance (i haven't heard a tiesto/armin trance set lately, so i can't comment on their style) but the rest are heading down to breaks / trance mixes..
even drum n bass has a new sub genre called "trance n bass" ..
solarstone are also a breaks/trance producer something else which points to breaks / trance combining soon ...
the purists / chin strokers will still say "thats trance, not breaks" or "thats breaks not trance" .. but i feel that it will be exactly the same at the end of the day :)
ok, enough dribble from me .. |

i totally agree. breaks is best enjoyed in moderation (moderation = 3 songs per night).
i had the awful misfortune of hearing leroy from the prodigy spin 90 mins of broken beats. it was almost impossible to bear but the 3 good tracks he did play was almost worth sparing his life. almost. |

Breaks are alright, but I generally prefer them in the bedroom to the club. Depends on what sort of breaks you're talking about though: prog-breaks make good headphone music whereas nu-school breaks make good driving music (I've got two Plump DJs CDs and one DJ Hyper CD in my car as we speak). In a club environment, though, I just find them too hard to dance to.
Breaks tune of the moment:
God Within - Raincry (Vance Musgrove Mix) |

I don't mind breaks, but it needs to be good breaks, none of this deep chin-stroking BS. And not for too long either, I can't listen to breaks for much more than an hour or so....
I big up this tune though:
Underworld - Cowgirl (Atomic Hooligan Mix) :eek: |

just resurrecting this thread due to last night....
DJ HYPER.
man, without doubt the best breaks set ive heard!
the dirty funked up bass (something which trance will never have :( ) was insane
unlike my old post about freq nasty ^^^ i was able to be on the floor for the whole of his set, plus be totally into the other 5 hours of supporting breaks (and im not even drinking alcohol atm :D).
this guy is so worth seeing, i think perth has him on friday; make sure u check him out; be converted to the broken side of music :D
and the guy himself is a champ :) |

I like breaks, in fact breaks was the first 'dance' music that I got into and that got me into the scene.
I am desperately waiting for FatBOy Slim to come back (it's been 3 years), I love his break/big beats style.
I LOVE Plump DJ's, they just go off! |
