broken beat

Last updated:

Description

Broken beat is an electronic music genre that emerged from London's West End club scene in the late 1990s, blending jazz, funk, and soul with intricate, syncopated rhythms. The style features deliberately fragmented drum patterns that deviate from standard four-on-the-floor beats, creating a sophisticated, off-kilter groove. It represents a fusion of UK electronic innovation with global influences, appealing to dancers and listeners seeking complex, musicianship-focused productions.
