it's not, but i was referring back to my comment earlier in the thread where i was talking about "house-breaks" sound for lack of better description in my head at the time. maybe i should say electro-breaks but it has the fundamental composition of electro house, shuffles a bit but doesn't really break properly (e.g. a track that keeps saying electro). personally i need some full hard ass syncopating bass drum kicks in my breaks rolling through at 135bpm minimum pls.
closer to this than that

Ah, alright, I understand what you're saying.
They're both breaks though. The typical classic break (Amen break) has the 3rd kick in the middle of bar 3 and the one you're calling an electro/house/something break has it at the beginning of bar 3. Snares/claps and hats are generally in the same place and the kick never intersects with the snare/clap. The difference is of course noticeable, but minor, and both are quite different from the standard house or trance rhythm.
True that the classic break comes off as having a bit more energy, especially with a little swing, and if I had to pick, I'd probably pick the classic break too, but they're both fine choices and both more danceable than house.
(Nothin' against house here folks, just sayin')

I haven't really given breaks a chance.. actually I know nothing about them so Im checking out the boat cruise June 13th . something new is always fun.. and even if I don't like the music I figured I can still hang out with everyone and drink ;)
ps anyone else going?
can anyone recommend a few artists to this n00b so I know what to expect?
