Re: breaks

Listen I can confirm that this guy does not have a clue about music, and he is a retard. I had the misfortune of spending two weeks in IBIZA with him!!!

There absolutely nothing wrong with breaks....

Re: breaks

[quote=djjacobtodd]Interesting thoughts.

House or prog or what ever genre of dance music that has a straight 4/4 beat is basically the only type of music that has a beat like that.

Rock, hip hop, disco, metal, pop, country, blah blah blah, all have a form of broken beat. So why is it suddenly boring to hear a broken beat in a dance set?[/quote]

when you go to a rock concert, or rap show (first off you suck and have a horrid taste in music) but secondly those events are just that, shows or concerts. i mean if you go to a big concert, you have an assigned fucking seat. holy shit - middle school flashback. you dont really have the option of dancing around. you just sit and watch and sing along. fucking sheep. and rap concerts, you don't even know what the hell is going on half the time because theres more people on stage then off. the music always sounds horrid because they arn't in a studio, and how the hell would you dance to an eminem track anyways? is there anything more funny then white people trying to get involved in hip hop?

edm is "party" oriented. it's dance music, the whole point (for most genres) is to make people move. one of the reasons i personally got into the music, was the 4/4. it was another fasset that seperated edm from the rest of the garbage out there. breaks can be used very effectively, but in moderation. in no way do i want to go see a pure breaks dj. ever.

one thing i do not understand is a guy who purely plays prog breaks, with the melodies being on the lighter side, and the lack of a hard constant beat, who the hell is going to move? (i.e chable remixes - you can say whatever you want about how well they are produced- it's not going to rock out the worlds best dancefloors) i saw jimmy van m a couple years ago, and his records went somewhere else besides detroit, so all he had were his cd-rs. he played primarily breaks, while some tracks were cool, after 3-4 in a row everybody was just standing around or leaving. they lack energy and a vibe thats appropriate for a club atmosphere. leave the breaks for the rap thugs and d'n'b/ jungle crowds.

i guess what im trying to say is that breaks (prog inperticular) are ok maybe for home listening or chillout sessions, but if your trying to shake it, it just aint gonna happen.

Re: breaks

if you can't dance to breaks, then you don't know how to dance... :CandyPop:

Re: breaks

i was more reffering to chable like material as being undanceable. stuff like icey (as bad as it may be), i can see how people get into and enjoy it. timo maas can rock it out when he plays a breaks set, those style breaks have a lot more engery and enthusiasm then say a lot of prog breaks.

and jtodd, don't take any of what i said personally, i even own one of YOUR breaks records :)

Re: breaks

breaks are the shit. it's a nice fucking release from the constant untz untz untz untz untz. a good dj will lay one in at great timing ... just to pick up the pace or reset the sound palette. i am all for it. and there are tons of good breaks songs that kill your straight 4 beat. word. 8)

Yeah I also saw you went back and changed that post. There were a ton of words misspelled, and don't try to wiggle your way out of it.

And in case you're wondering about how many posts I read. Look at my title. Platinum all the way. You might wanna try learning a little something about music...and etiquette before posting about things on here.

I'm starting to really get into breaks, or i think I am anyway - if you class the recent stuff from Michael Lanning,Jacob Todd and Sentient Audio Collective then yes.

And also check out Pot Shuvit-Conversations from Warren's Shanghai - absolutely awesome track!

Good music is good music.....period

don't worry about it bud dyslexics are supposed to have higher than average i.q. . so not gonna complain about ure reading abilities . and not many can teach me about music ( espesh you) though i don't know half of whats out there i know more than most ( i followed sasha round his 1st 5 residents). i been listening along time . and my point about breaks ain't the tracks. i had the missfortune of seeing groovearmada at space and every second track they kocked off beats at the intro and pissed about trying to b clever instead of letting music flow . then on my b/d night out i went to glasgow to see yusef ( 11 hours of travleing within 24 hrs ) and the cunt didn't mix a track just kept pissing about trying to show what he could do .. those are what i'm going on about dj's breaking off the beats to fuckabout . if i wanted to see dj shadow or scratch perverts id'e go to those sort of clubs

Re: breaks

I love big fat party breaks. Plumps, Stantons, Breakfastaz... all good!

Some breaks in a prog set can really help spice it up a bit, John Lisle and Zabiela for example can both put them to great use with devastating force.

Re: breaks

^^^I hear ya.. :D I also like deep spirtual breaks too! 8)

Re: breaks

thanks for the guys who have supported me on this ( though there must b more on here ) but i have read alot of posts concerning this and they have used the term " prog breaks" a few times. progressive is what it says on the lable it progresses through the night night building a mood then reaches it's hight in the last 3 tracks . break= breaking the beat /break=stopping the mood and changing it in an instant . progressive breaks is a contradiction almost (cos as i said sometimes a good dj will play 3 tracks that have breaks in them throughtout a 2-3hr set 1 at the start to introduce himself and one at the end .. and one when he thinks it's required .) it's a tried and tested formula going back to when i was going to the hacienda and rennaisance in the early 90's dj keoki did it for u guys in the states over there .. something different don't mean it's better . breaks in tracks have always been there but it takes a special track to pull them off to slap them into bogstandard tracks and expect ppl to enjoy them is abusing breaks not cherishing them . and for a dj to think he can kock off beats and try and show his prowess at scratching on what is supposed to b a progressive night FUCKS ME OFF BIG TIME :MadNow:
