A2B2 - Quasar

Hold onto your hats people, because socks are about to be blown!

Sub Element Recordings next release sees A2B2 return with his signature Psychedelic Drum & Bass sound.

Quasar is dark, deep, psychedelic and packs a punch! If you think of - Alien Vs Predator Vs Mike Tyson, then you might get close!

On the remix we have the prolific Hungarian producer Kelle, who strips it back with a more original DnB groove - still keeping it trippy and psychedelic. Stunning!

Windom R - Overcoming

Entering an unexplored world, the wanderers are open to any knowledge. The river of time carries them and drifts ashore. They will be able to distinguish between the reality and illusions only by keeping moving—inward—to enlightenment. And only breaking the shackles of past deeds, they will be able to overcome the vicious circle and upgrade to the next level. That is the way to freedom.

For all loyal fans of the genre, Windom R has prepared a new EP in his own style. Five distinctive break tracks: references to the old school and the pulse of the era, depth and atmosphere… You will find all this in a new release by Calligraphy.

RELEASE DATE June 13th 2020

What is Breakbeat


Breakbeat (sometimes breakbeats or breaks) is a term used to describe a collection of sub-genres of electronic music, usually characterized by the use of a non-straightened 4/4 drum pattern (as opposed to the steady beat of house or trance). These rhythms may be characterised by their intensive use of syncopation and polyrhythms.


History


In the late 1970s and early 1980s, hip-hop DJs (starting with Kool DJ Herc) began using several breaks (the part of a funk or jazz song in which the music "breaks" to let the rhythm section play unaccompanied) in a row to use as the rhythmic basis for hip-hop songs. Kool DJ Herc's breakbeat style was to play the same record on two turntables and play the break repeatedly by alternating between the two records (letting one play while spinning the second record back to the beginning of the break). This style was copied and improved upon by early hip hop DJs Afrika Bambaataa and Grand Wizard Theodore.This style was extremely popular in clubs and dance halls because the extended breakbeat was the perfect backdrop for breakdancers to show their skills.

In recent times, the term breakbeat has become synonymous with the many genres of breaks music which have become popular within the global dance music scene, including big beat, nu skool breaks and progressive breaks. DJs from a variety of genres, including house and techno, work breaks tracks into their sets. This may occur because the tempo of breaks tracks (ranging from 110 to 150 beats per minute) means they can be readily mixed with these genres, whereas the comparatively fast speed of jungle and drum and bass (160-180 bpm) may have restricted the utility of these subgenres to DJs playing slower-tempo music. Some artists well known for breakbeat include DJ Icey, Stanton Warriors, Deekline and Wizard, Hybrid, Huda Hudia, The Brainkiller, Paket, The Freestylers, NAPT, Pendulum, Adam Freeland, Rennie Pilgrem, The Breakfastaz, Ctrl Z, Freq Nasty and Plump DJ's.

Breakbeats are used in many hip hop, rap, jungle, and hardcore songs, and can also be heard in other music, from popular music to background music in car and jean commercials on the radio or TV.
