From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hardcore Breaks is a genre of electronic music written in the style of old skool rave music or breakbeat hardcore using modern technology. The music is composed of from looped, edited and processed breakbeat samples, intense bassline sounds, melodic piano lines, staccato synthesizer riffs, and various vocal samples (frequently taken from old house records). The speed of this genre typically falls between the range of 145-155 BPM, although there are exceptions within a 10 BPM buffer on each side, and the DJ will often change the speed as when playing at a rave. Originally being produced by a small group of artists heavily influenced by the oldskool sound, its appeal has now expanded to include artists from the original breakbeat hardcore scene creating new productions, and the records have found favor with DJs as noteworthy as Slipmatt, Ratpack, and Ellis Dee.
