Breakbeat

Breakbeat is a dynamic music genre characterized by its syncopated drum patterns and intricate rhythms, often derived from the "breaks" of funk, soul, and jazz tracks. Emerging in the late 1980s and gaining momentum in the 1990s, it played a pivotal role in the evolution of electronic dance music, influencing genres like drum and bass and big beat. Known for its energetic and unpredictable beats, breakbeat continues to captivate listeners with its innovative fusion of old-school grooves and modern electronic elements.
