Best top 10 we've had in a while. Things are really looking up for breaks in my opinion. Lots of really cool new ideas, some of the most interesting and diverse music in any of the genres on beatport atm

1. Dylan Rhymes - Silent Duck
2. Elite Force - Society Suicides
3. Refracture - Jahova Revamp
4. Blazer - Skill Chypher
5. Keith Mckenzie & Dj Fixx - Get Ill
6. Colombo - Clubbing
7. Under This - Funkualize
8. Agresivnes - Olive Tree
9. Colombo - Clap your hands
10. DJ Icey - Knocks

Thoughts?

Some of the tunes are horrible but some are ok.

One day you know I might even record a mix, don't hold your breath though.

sorry, but i'm not going to be judging an entire genre based on a beatport chart.

Not judging based on the chart alone, all Im saying is that its good to see some forward thinking interesting tunes at the top of the charts

It's all awful, even the Elite Force one

not my cuppa.
its interesting how they all use very very similar sounds. The 'clubbing' one has a bit of a funk to it - my fav of the bunch but still a tad cheesey. not heard it before. pretty crazy name for a track.

Interesting opinions. To say they're all awful is a bit fucking ridiculous though, the top 3 are well produced, energetic and completely different from each other(besides the odd wobble here and there).While I respect some people are just giving an opinion I do feel there is an attitude in general of this forum of the same negativity and single mindedness that the trance scene had...and look where they are..

Par for the course on here these days for the most part moite. Not exactly a welcoming place for new users round here any more IMO. Personally, I think the Top 10 on BP is really strong at the mo - good stuff in a range of different styles.

i like the dylan rhymes tune apart from the bits which are all really obviously lifted straight from addictive drums and chopped up a bit.

colombos 'clubbing' tune is gheyer than most of steelz disco tunes, like the other one though



nothing wrong with that elite force tune, at least its tough

Ok, to be fair, Silent Duck, Jehova, Clubbing and Funqualise are ok. But it's all so formulaic, generic and dull. Same old trancey sounds, as nic would say, too much dubsteppy aggressive bollocks in others and incredibly rigid, soulless drum programming overall (plus that same fucking snare sound that's been around for ten years or so just won't go away). There is nothing earth shattering or innovative going on there.

As I've said many times before, a lot of the better tunes with breaks in them can be found outside of the usual breaks circles, imo anyway.

A bit of chit chat

Yeh, I do agree a lot of good tunes can definitely be found if you have a good look around.

Jahova is one of my favourites this year I think, as is Society Suicides..not so big on clubbing though. Apart from that one they'd pretty much all make it into my sets at some point..which is something I couldn't say about previous top 10's.

Listening through I do agree the drum programming is quite rigid, but on a plus note this makes it easier to mix with other genres. I think long gone are the days where really interesting and intricate hybrid/bt esque drum rythms are going to be popular purely because they don't leave any room for a big beefy bass which, love it or hate it, is what most dance music is about now.

Basically what Im getting at is everything is heading towards one bigger picture, a genre of bass driven music where anything goes. Breaks or not I'm really enjoying the concept of that.
