Breaks

Breaks is a high-energy, bass-heavy electronic music genre characterized by its fast-paced, often frenetic rhythms, typically between 160-180 BPM. Emerging in the mid-2010s, breaks evolved from UK rave and hardcore scenes, incorporating elements of drum and bass, techno, and hip-hop. The genre's defining sound features prominent, syncopated drum patterns, heavy use of reverb and delay effects, and often, haunting, atmospheric soundscapes. Breaks gained popularity in the late 2010s, particularly in the UK and online communities, resonating with fans seeking a raw, energetic alternative to mainstream electronic music. With its intense, physical energy and DIY ethos, breaks has become a cultural phenomenon, fueling underground parties and inspiring a devoted following. Its distinct blend of breakneck rhythms, heavy basslines, and emotive textures sets it apart from similar styles, such as drum and bass and techno, while its influence can be heard in adjacent genres like hardcore and footwork.
