What surprises me most about this thread is
1) some people actually really like breaks, rather than merely tolerating it
2) there are some not bad breaks tracks that don’t sound exactly the same as each other

    bosstrabs Just like any other genre, loads of shite, maybe more than most genres. When it does hit the spot it’s sweet though. strokes beard knowingly

        This didn’t get enough recognition after Digweed dropped it in a recent Bunker

        Unbroken1 …at it’s best when cunningly weaved in and out of 4/4 IMO. Too much of any one thing becomes dull pretty rapidly

        Great shout.

          That In The Turret track is class Mono.

          Unbroken1 Totally. Best used as a tool to mix things up a bit. This current resurgence of bog standard prog fodder with a continual holden esque bassline and a breakbeat underneath is just as naff as it was first time around. It’s lazy.

              mono-stereo This current resurgence of bog standard prog fodder with a long warbling bassline and a break beat underneath is naff as it was first time around. It’s lazy.>

              As in Anjunadeep and ADID?

                  SM001 I’m not really familiar with ADID. But yeah I find that Anjunadeep style prog boring.

                      SM001 Many of our dear resident DJs include it in their sets. The label reminds me how far Burridge has fallen from his Tyrant days
