Newest installment in the sub-genre intro series, hope y’all enjoy o7

Next video will probably be on Breakbeat Hardcore, planning on doing a single megamix that starts around 135 bpm and works its way up to around 165 bpm.

Discovered this track 'cause its breakbeat was sampled and used in Technical Itch - Touch The Darkness.

For Breakcore artists to check out, Venetian Snares is probably the best one to start with. Pretty big discography and also more on the IDM side of the spectrum.

Igorrr is another good one, especially if you’re into Rock/Metal type stuff since their music heavily fuses Metal and Breakcore. There’s also Alec Empire’s album “The Destroyer,” which is what I’ve usually seen credited as being the first Breakcore album (though from what I’ve heard, Alec has become a bit of a right-wing shithead in recent years, so probably try not to give him any money if you’re gonna listen to it).

I guess the simplest way to think about it is that if stuff like Jungle & DnB are Punk Rock, then Breakcore is Hardcore Punk Rock. So yeah, more abrasive, more extreme, more chaotic & experimental, faster tempos, etc.

Breakbeat is a fairly context dependent term when it’s being used to describe musical genres tbh. It can be used as an umbrella term for any type of music that uses sampled drum breaks. I.e. Hip-Hop, Jungle, DnB, Breakcore, Big Beat, etc. are all Breakbeat genres. However, it can also be used to describe a specific sub-section of breakbeat music, usually stuff that’s more on the downtempo & midtempo side of the spectrum that doesn’t neatly fit into other genres.

Not that familiar artists who make generic Breakbeat, but I think The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy were/are both big artists for that type of music. You could also check out The Glitch Mob’s latest album Ctrl Alt Reality, which is somewhere in between generic Breakbeat and Breakbeat Hardcore.

Second part of the sub-genre intro guide series I’m working on, coving Techstep & Neurofunk this time. Next part will probably either cover Atmo Jungle/DnB or Jungle Tekno & Happy Hardcore. Hope y’all enjoy o7.

Yeah. I was actually listening to Ed Rush & Optical’s album “Wormhole” for the very first time the other day, and while it’s pretty tame by the standards set by stuff that came after it, I couldn’t help but think of how wild it must have been to go from stuff like Dred Bass, Ricky, Terrorist, Maximum Style, etc. to Wormhole in only 3-4 years.

Here’s what I’ve been mainly working on for the past 2 weeks, first video in a series I’m working on to follow up from the genre guide video I made a while back. Hope y’all enjoy o7

Also, here’s a Techstep/Neurofunk track I uploaded 4 weeks ago if anyone’s interested:
