7 Diesel Recordings

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN/PURCHASE

Roll up, Ladies and Gents, because Diesel Recordings release no.314 is here and its a particularly sinful offering! 7 is a compilation of some of Diesel's resident talent here to flex their beats and basslines for your listening pleasure! First up; Alt-A steps up with 'Pride'; a solid, uplifting breakbeat number with tight drums, arpeggiated synth lines and a smooth vocal. Next is Lo Definition with a dark slammer called 'Greed'. A deep, gritty chunker with classic breaks cuts, wobs and low end filth! Jim Reaper is to follow with his offering titled 'Envy'; a lush, intricately-crafted piece chocked full of live guitar riffs, pads, atmospheric vocals and groove. Electrom then slaps us with 'Lust'; a deeper groove with solid drums, reese lines, harmonic overtones and squealing leads. Then follows the dynamic duo that is Journeyman & BARRcode with their squelchy-acid tech slammer called 'Wrath'. This one is a heads-down, driven, acid-tech-breaks slammer that will leave you cowering in the basement corner! Next up is Prato and his elastic-breaks tune 'Gluttony'. Prato's signature arp magic shines through along with some snappy drums and rather cheeky vocal cuts! And last, but by no means least, is Perpetual Present and 'Sloth'; a slamming, tech-breaks number with all the usual soundscapes, dark vibes and driving grooves that only Mr Present could provide. Do not miss this one!

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.
