Big Breakcore Debate..

[magneze]

what's limited about the term breakcore?

It's a pigeon hole that some artists may try to fit themselves into. Won't necessarily happen of course, but plenty of dance music genres have been killed by the same disease. Hope it doesn't though ... I'm a big fan of the music.

If you travel in time, into the future, to the year 4800, the national anthem will be (no, WORLD anthem) will be breakcore, i guarantee.

or perhaps a new music i have just invented called Furzengarble.

Nah, music will have evolved away from the limits of sound. Music will smell in 4800.

 

[Dubversion]

well, Coldplay already stink so we're on the way

 

[Flavour]

Music already smells with a little help from Ellis D.

Any genre with 'core' in the name is inevitably just a narrow, somewhat pretentious subsection of a genre. Then again, I think of labelling things 'house' or 'jungle' as oppressive.

that's nonsense, though, isn't it? as limiting as genre labels can be, they do enable people to communicate meaningfully about music in a way that might otherwise defy them.

if somebody said, what does DJ Scud's latest EP sound like, i'd be hard pressed to really sum it up. if i said 'it's kind of breakcore' they at least have a frame of reference.

of course, as has already been discussed, labelling isn't without its problems but it still serves a purpose. i certainly see no pretension in adding 'core'. do you believe that hardcore is a narrow and pretentious subsection, and if so, what of?

spickledickleboogie?

microglitchnbasscore is where it's at.

 

[Flavour]

not to mention underscore

 

[biotec]

good discusion, although I find it utterly amazing how some of them have taken so many unrelated events and somehow managed to rearrange them into a history of 'breakcore'.

 

[sam/phallocrat]

well they need something to do . . .

somewhere between dark jungle, gabba/hardcore, aphex style mad drum patterns, stuff like that.. very very fast and psychotic, often now with ragga samples and suchlike. Ambush Records, Sick & Twisted Club, Kid 606, that sort of thing, roughly

That sounds bloody awful
