Topic: Funky breaks


  
  Florida breaks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Florida breaks, also referred to as Florida breakbeat and Funky Breaks, is a genre of breakbeat music which, as the name suggests, is most popular in the areas around the US state of Florida.
More recently Floridians have taken to calling the genre electro breaks despite the lack of electro characteristcs included in the tracks, but this is most likely due to the parallel electronic dance music sub-genre of electro bass being billed at many of the same events as Florida breaks.
Among of the more well known names associated with Florida breaks are Paul Santana (1Club.FM Radio), DJ Icey, DJ Baby Anne, Tony Faline, and Huda Hudia.

 Slammin’ the Breaks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Funky breaks could be defined as the American equivalent of drum ’n’ bass; the difference is that breaks tend to chug along more slowly at about house music tempo (somewhere in between 120-135 bpm) and are not as polyrhythmically intricate as drum ’n’ bass.
Luke Berry, the breaks connoisseur at Cue Records, offers a more mature style he calls "European breakbeat" — influenced by the initial rave days of the early ’90s and sidestepping all forms of the Florida breaks sound.
With other Philly DJs now offering different dimensions of breaks like DJ Raf and his cosmic nu-skool style, The Infamous Mic V who uses an MC, and Bluff who takes it back to the hip-hop roots, the future of funky breaks in Philly is looking bright.

The term "break" or "breakbeat" has been most often associated with the instrumental drum sections of funk records of the 1960's and 1970's that were the "secret weapons" of early hip hop DJ's like Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaattaa and Grandmaster Flash.
Some of these original funk breaks, like the "Amen Break" from the Winston's Amen Brother, "Funky Drummer" break from James Brown's song of the same title, or the "Apache Break" from the Incredible Bongo Band track, are so familiar as to have become iconic.
The unique symbiotic relationship between "funky breaks" and dancing is a critical feature that distinguishes their function in hip hop, funk, rock, blues and jazz from their function in other forms of music.

 DJ Icey: The Funky Breaks: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
A number of the tracks from Funky Breaks could just have easily been taken from any techno compilation; break-beats with basically meaningless vocal samples.
Moving on, we reach the Underground Mix of PM Dawn's "A Watcher's Point Of View," perhaps the funkiest of the breaks and the best track of the comp, the icing on this cake being the voices of those PM Dawn boys (how can you hate their sweet n' creamy croon?).
My evaluation: The Funky Breaks has enough funk to be funky, enough breaks to satisfy reasonable techno requirements, but isn't terribly impressive overall.

"I'm About to Break," Baby Anne's debut for Moonshine, showcases her signature sound-fusing Miami bass and electro with funky Breaks.
We all love baby Anne- shes great at what she does and as far as ghetto florida breaks go, shes the bst.
Though Im not sure thats really her fault, Florida breaks have kind of been lacking for a few years, in my own opinion.
