breakbeat

1) A drum part, usually sampled from old funk records used in hip hop tracks. Breakbeats are also sliced and manipulated in drum n bass and other froms of electronic music.
2) A variant of electronic that is characterized by the lack of the typical "four on the floor" (thump thump thump thump) bassline and loud rolling basslines. It differs from drum n bass in that it's the same tempo as most house music (around 130 BPM) instead of the faster tempo of drum n bass.

I got tired of the boring bass drum stomping in house, so I turned to breakbeat.

breakbeat

Breakbeat is real music for people who have over-dosed on the hyperactive and unnatural tempo of DnB, had enough of being bummed by mullet-sporting disco gays at Electroclash parties, can't stand the generic dross that is House music, who's ears have stopped bleeding from all the badly produced Rock n Roll and those diabetics in need of an insulin injection after gobbling too many sweets at the candybar called Trance Music.

You're informed, articulate, un-cliched, fashionable and street-smart. You like breakbeat

breakbeat

the most beautiful sound in music. Goes well with a deep bass.

I may not be religious, but the Amen breakbeat is my sacrament.
