[QUOTE="brixtonite, post: 356591, member: 3206"] [b]breaks clubbing[/b] Clubbing-wise, the breaks scene is massive... you've got dj's that play certain styles (don't ask me who, I've always been battered and I've not paid attention)... ok, these nights were in places like The Cross, The Egg, Fabric, Mass- all clubs identified by their eclectic music policy - there could be 3 or 4 rooms: up front house / housey techno, old school, drum n bass n breaks and maybe classic old school. I've found that the blend of classic old school and breaks can work, but you do feel your heartstrings tug when a blatant rip off kicks in and it sounds hackneyed (ok, maybe thats the old schooler in me - I'd always prefer the original in these situations). The drum and bass room might put on a few breaks djs too - that works... mainly cos the djs blend a mix of nu breaks and the earlier drum n bass. The minimal breaks works everywhere...techy-house blends nicely. Some of the tracks are amazing. I agree with the comment that breaks could be seen as the new hardcore - aye, the newer stuff I'd agree - some of the older stuff is more cerebral and edges on the electro sound. In short... minimal techy electro breaks? Nice. :thumbsup: Hyped up rehashes of classics? I'll just go and start up Logic and Reason :eyebrow: [/QUOTE]
