Guest Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Ive always loved breaks, and have slowly started to incorporate them into my sets. I got a free cd with mixmag over a year ago, mixed by krafty kuts - Its fuckin awesome and i still listen to it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTW Members Phil rr Posted July 7, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted July 7, 2003 from what i've heard [on the mixmag cd], i like them, twist on the listening experience. being familiar with breaks in a dance track, having them as 'the tune' is 'different', like having a permanent nice wait.

CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted July 7, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted July 7, 2003 Phil_raa said: being familiar with breaks in a dance track, having them as 'the tune' is 'different' I'd say the same thing about a lot of techno: there is no "tune" in any conventional sense. A lot of music, both breakbeat and 4-to-the-floor, blurs the line between melody and rhythm. I've never viewed "breaks" (as all non-4/4 dance music now seems to be termed) as such a radical departure from house anyway. (Obviously house came second, technically breakbeats are as old as the hills!) When you listen to the way (for example) a bassline interacts with claps and other percussion in a house track, that itself forms a kind of breakbeat. It's just that the beats are more obviously emphasised in house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members Mr Happy Posted July 7, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted July 7, 2003 its all dance music at the end of the day. its written for u to dance to so its dance music imo btw - i cant count the number of times i've heard breaks played in house/techno sets and vice versa Quote Mr Happy's fishy fish MangaFish munch munch MSN & e-mail - mangafish@mangafish.net AOL - MangaMorgan Online mixes - http://www.mangafish.net/mixes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW DJs Guyster Posted July 8, 2003 CTW DJs Share Posted July 8, 2003 Breaks are great - I dabbled with them a year or two ago but I can't really afford to buy 3 different genres.... THere are some awesome producers out there - Stanton Warriors, Meat Katie, Lee Coombs, Rennie Pilgrim, Soul of Man, Lay and Bushwacka! and of course, my favourites, the Plump DJs. Many of these are on the Finger Lickin' label, based in Camden, so any releases on there are worth looking at. As albums go, there's quite a bit of variation - if you're after big phat breaks then go for the Plump DJs' first album, "A Plump Night Out" (a couple of years old now but still class), or their latest "Eargasm" which is more varied. ALso, Hyper's "Bedrock Beats" album, another very good one. The Plump DJs did a fantastic "Fabric Live" CD as well, and there's a few Finger Lickin' compilations around too. Hope that's good for starters Quote WiLDCHiLD - where spacehoppers and pom poms rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
