Breakbeat is an electronic dance music genre that originated in the UK during the early 1990s, characterized by its fast-paced beats and breakbeat samples. The style is known for its fusion of drum breaks from funk, jazz, R&B, and early recordings of Funkadelic, with other genres such as techno, house music, and hardcore. Breakbeat has evolved over the years to include various subgenres, including Jungle, Hardcore Breaks, Nu Skool Breaks, and Progressive Breaks. The genre is known for its energetic rhythms and complex drum patterns that make it a favorite among clubbers and DJs worldwide. Breakbeat's popularity has waxed and waned over the years but remains an important part of electronic dance music culture today, with artists like Aphrodite, Sharaaz, and Skool of Thought keeping the genre alive through their innovative productions.
