The "Disco Break" is a term used to describe the point in a song where the music is at it's prime and DJ's sratch to keep the music going. Disco DJ's used scratching during the 70's to keep the music fresh. Because the disco break was the best part of the song, B-Boys would use this time to dance, thus the term "Break-Dancing" was coined.

Get the Disco Breakmug. In pocket billiard such as 8-Ball or 9-Ball where you break up the balls and run them out for the win, never letting your opponent get up to the table for a shot.

Get the break and runmug. To put forth a large amount of energy or effort into or toward a task. Usually used in the negative to indicate the opposite. Likened to perspiring due to strenuous physical activity.
That test was so easy, I aced it without even breaking a sweat. She didn't break a sweat becoming the district attorney.

Get the break a sweatmug. Not really considered to be an official genre, and not really as much of a combination of the two genres (progressive house and breakbeat) as it is to destinguish itself from Breakbeat in it's Hip Hop influenced form - where more of the emphasis is on being funky.
A Prog Breaks fan is more often a discerning listener and a thinker. Typical features of Prog Breaks include:
> Tidily composed, cleverly arranged beats
> A variety of texture (rough, smooth, sharp, flat)
> Ingenuity and innovation in synthetic sound
> A breakdown of some kind (for a few seconds), where the artist has let their creativity loose with upfront synth sounds or with a crazy, unpredictable bout of broken beats set to send your mind boggling.
Notable artists include (but definately not restricted to) - Hybrid, Luke Chable, Phil K, Andy Page, Burufunk, Grayarea.

Get the Take a Breakmug. Similar to a mini break where you take your partner away somewhere nice; a mani-break is where you substitute your partner for your mate Gary and somewhere nice for a cheap air BnB on Exmoor, a boot full of booze and reruns of Match of the Day in order to get out of the house.
