if you listen to other breakbeat music like old hardcore and jungle, the breaks actually have some real energy and rawness. so why do nu skool breaks tracks seem to always use the same plodding breakbeat sound? even when a producer actually uses an interesting break, it will only be for small sections of a track, or just quietly layered over a more boring break. are djs and producers just so scared of making the tracks difficult to mix that they forego trying to sound original or interesting?

tbh I too have a hard time finding the edgy poppin break that I so badly crave each and every week, but there are tons of good breaks available - just not all of them are my "style" (which is constantly changing) -

but also I'm not opposed to droppin some fidgety electro or house to pass the time

ebb and flow man

16 pages of bollox and moaning this is 1st bit of sanity that's been written ...yr all a bunch of Simon Cowell wannabe's labeling this labeling that like Introspective said if it sounds good that's all there is to it...& all you that bleet on about House being shit ext ext well with out it there wouldn't be Breaks period!!
How do you think people who just breeze through NSB forum's and know nothing about Breaks think when they read all you tossers moaning about tings?? Why dont you all get of your high and mighty internet forum pedestals and be more positive and not negative to the Breaks scene as am sure all that went to Breakspoll would agree the Breaks scene is still loud'n'proud.... BTW well said Introspective :lol:
