Whitey Break

A completely undeserved good fortune. A wild stroke of luck that seems too good to be true, and normally would be.

Manhattan Break

When one stops working, say at one's machinist job or in their studio, makes a Manhattan cocktail, and proceeds to drink it before returning to work. Variations include drinking the Manhattan with a friend, in a small group, or while staring out the window.

JJ break

A JJ break is a break in between sets where you take less than a minute to rest your muscles (20 seconds to be exact). The reason is to go outside and go biking because the weather is nice (over 65 degrees) so you completely neglect all risks of muscle tear.
JJ: Yo Darbs we gotta lock in and do our workout. I don't want to take more than an hour at the gym.
Darbs: So you wanna JJ break all of our sets?

embers breaks

Embers Breaks is a musical style of breakbeat music. Incepted by producer monoBKT (aka Pecavi) who went on a bunch of music forums (nuskoolbreaks.co.uk, dogsonacid.com) proclaiming he had invented a new genre of music called ‘Embers Breaks’.

He was, for the most part, ridiculed and laughed at (despite actually making some sick beats) on the account that he was in fact just making Breakbeat. Embers Breaks was forgotten about – cast off to a far corner of the internet like that spooky ring from the Hobbit film.

But like that famous ring, Embers Breaks was not lost forever – just biding its time softly calling out to bass lovers waiting to be re-discovered… until one day in 2021 DOA user RokOne stumbled upon the original Pecavi thread and started a light hearted competition for DOA forum members.

The challenge was to create as many Embers tracks as producers liked using the guide from the creator himself, copied from that original Embers thread 10 years earlier:

"It’s basically about drum’s.
The music is created in 145 bpm so IT IS NO Big beat, Drum & Bass , Breakbeat or Jungle.
The drums are specifically made whit many 'sticks' and 'snare rollings' what create this fast aspect of the track at 145 bpm."

And so it went. With nearly a thousand tracks in two years including multiple releases on several labels, and a show hosted by DJ Nutta, Embers Breaks emerged as an actual dance music scene/community.
