I never really understood why no one could get them here. I guess one of thems got a record? Makes me even more glad i got the chance to see them at fabric knowing that i probably wont get to again :(. Do they still tour the US? |

see thats where you're wrong. this is actually a way of life, not just a phase. we breathe, eat, sleep, drink and breaks. i used to work out 6 days a week so that i could do some power moves and i ing hate working out. breaks reshaped my life in the best way possible
do you think tribal was just some phase????
breaks community in toronto and around is ing huge. trust me its anything but a phase.

It depends who you talk to, like you are a fan of the genera obviously your going to defend it. Just like if i were to tell a trace fan that trance had its prime back in 98/99 and now its . Or like if someone told me electro is gay etc to each their own |

Yeah Pete, but if you tell someone who's realistic about it, I mean.. Well.. Hey. If the shoe fits, right? |

for the record... last year I booked:
Freq Nasty
Freestylers
bassbin Twins
Afrika Bambaataa
I hate to say it.. but the reason people are aren't throwing breaks events like they used to, is that people aren't supporting them. for the most party, they're not money makers, and the big breaks names want too much money now.. which is not feasible for events in Toronto.
Though my tastes have evolved slightly over the years, I still love the music... but not enough to lose money to bring anyone here.

i was at all those gigs, 2007 was good, i was talking about this year. i cant believe that its wasnt profitable. that sucks. did maybe 2 breaks gigs at the same night going head to head had anything to do with it?
sasha, i dont do boat cruises. i was there once and i got bored and i couldnt go anywhere else, had to wait 3-4 hours for the boat to dock lol |

Are you planning on throwing anymore regular breaks headliner events again this year, or by not profitable enough do you mean stopping them altogether? |

Florida breaks are a necessity.
I agree with you whole-heartedly.
We need more breaks. There can never be enough breaks. |
as my avatar will confirm, I agree 100% ;) Icey is *by far* my favourite breaks DJ. fun, fun, fun.
I'm pissed no one has brought back Icey yet this year. He and Miyagi were awesome in Gallery last time. FFS, he was in Rochester this weekend...why couldn't someone get him to Toronto too? :mad:
Breaks isn't so big in Toronto right now...but I don't think promotion is where it should be. Promotion is way too passive for non-"big names" or events at smaller clubs. Promoters need to be more creative, more responsive and more proactive (not calling out anyone here, just in general). |

Toronto's always been lukewarm on breaks. I think the promoters figured they'd give it a shot in '07, didn't make as much money as they'd hoped, and gave up in 2008. Shame.
I'd be on a Plump DJs party like a donkey on a waffle. |

i feel like breaks has stagnated a while with few fresh ideas coming in from the top guns on the scene let alone any innovative new talent. as such without development it began to die out, now it's really only alive in house-breaks (which isn't breaks at all as much as everyone pretends) and other broken beat forms like d&b.
we can talk about great breaks artists and for sure there is still talent out there but it feels a to me a lot like everyone ran out of steam and lost interest.
maybe i'm wrong but i don't think toronto hates breaks, it's just a dying scene on its last legs.
even somewhere like fabric as someone already mentioned used to be strong for breaks in at least one room a week. now it appears to have made way to even more d&b, some dubstep, UKgarage-house-breaks stuff (sinden etc) and the like. if the uk can't support regular breaks nights then toronto hasn't got a hope. |
