/r/breakbeat
Breakbeat is a genre of electronic music that utilizes breaks, often sampled from earlier recordings in funk, jazz and R&B, for the main rhythm. Breakbeats have been used in styles such as hip hop, jungle, drum and bass, big beat, hardcore, and UK garage styles (including 2-step, breakstep and dubstep).
For all your Breakbeat needs! Funky, techy, hip-hopish, prog, upbeat, downbeat and just about every other type of breaks you can think of, all under the one roof.
The latest mixes, mp3s, videos, news, and anything else breakbeat related.

This track uses the classic Adrenaline sample, I know it’s a classic tune overall, just can’t remember the name for the life of me. From Altern-8’s “history of breakbeat hardcore” mix. Thanks!
Please list your top samples lib/kits/expansions!!! FOR BREAKBEAT ONLY
Thanks
Going to Orlando soon briefly are there any clubs there that play old school breakbeat?
Hey, I’m promoting and DJing at an event in Dalston this Thursday. It’s a multi-genre event featuring a diverse lineup of talented DJs with unique styles.
I’ll be playing a vinyl set of iconic 92/93 breakbeat hardcore tracks & there’s also going to be a great variety of underground styles featured throughout the night! (10pm-3am)
If there are any punters in here who would be interested in joining us for a little dance, here’s a link to the event:
Our instagram is: @kuttarug_ if you want to find out more about the lineup, including interviews with the DJs.
Hope to see some of you in the dance❤️
