/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.

Misplaced this cd probably 20 years ago, maybe more. Found it tonight buried in a box of stuff. Going to save this for next weekend…
Man, the Italians had it figured out decades before the rest of us
This is very typical at amoeba so always check house and trance bins. They don’t particularly have a breakbeat section (in Hollywood) it’s classified as “Electronic music” section where they normally would be.
What an absolutely sick set last Saturday at Ministry of Sound.
It was the first song I ever made public a few years ago. I’ll always love acid breaks. Sorry for the self promotion. Hope y’all might enjoy.
Here’s a new one from me that’s out today! Breakbeat with some Rudimental vibes chucked in and a wicked vocal from Harri Georgio. Hope you all like!
