breakbeat hardcore

Last updated: Mon Jan 06 2025 14:26:41 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)

Description

Breakbeat hardcore emerged in early 1990s UK rave culture, combining frenetic chopped breakbeats with rumbling bass, piano stabs, and samples from hip-hop, reggae, and hardcore techno. The sound captures the euphoric chaos of illegal warehouse parties, characterized by tempos around 150-170 BPM and a raw, energetic intensity. It laid the groundwork for jungle and drum and bass while maintaining its own playful, rebellious spirit.
