Breaks

Breaks is a style of electronic music that emerged in the early 1990s in the UK. It is characterized by a fast, syncopated beat and often incorporates elements of hip-hop, funk, and drum and bass. The style is generally associated with the breakbeat hardcore and jungle scenes of the UK and is often used by DJs to create new mixes of other genres. Breaks has also been used as a basis for a variety of different genres, such as nu skool breaks, big beat, and electro house. The style has become increasingly popular in the US and Europe, where it has spawned a number of sub-genres and offshoots.
