| | Breakbeat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Breakbeat (or funky breakbeat) may also refer to the music of bands such as Breakestra, who play funk and soul music with an emphasis on the elements that would become popular in hip-hop and later breaks-based music. |  | | The hardcore scene then diverged with one of the main offshoots being jungle music which had a darker sound and focused more on developing the use of complex breaks within its tracks. |  | | In the 1970s, hip-hop DJs (starting with DJ Kool Herc) began using several breaks (the part of a funk and jazz song in which the music breaks to make room for the rhythm section only) in a row to use as the rhythmic basis for hip-hop songs. |

| | Breakbeat hardcore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Breakbeat hardcore (popularly known as rave music, originally referred to as simply hardcore in the United Kingdom, with old school hardcore a common term in the 21st century) is a style of electronic music that primarily uses breakbeats for its rhythm lines. |  | | Since the mid-2000s, several new record labels have appeared that are dedicated to the development of breakbeat hardcore, with the aim of recreating the sound and vibe of the early 1990s. |  | | In contrast with lushly produced house music, hardcore emphasized a cheap, harsh, aggressive sound that drew strongly from hip-hop and early acid house. |

| | What is Happy Hardcore? |
 | | In the early 90s, the predominant form of rave music was known as hardcore. |  | | Initially a lot of the vocals on Happy Hardcore tracks were just short snippets taken from sample CDs or other tracks, but now original vocals are very common. |  | | Initially Happy Hardcore and Jungle DJs would play side by side, but this has become less and less common - whether this is good or bad depends on who you speak to. |

 | | Breakbeat can almost be defined as a non 4/4 (4 to the floor) rhythm, it's syncopated, polyrhythmic and emerged in early hip hop and US dance (Frankie Bones). |  | | By 1990 they were releasing tracks that were pushing boundaries with mixes of hip hop and house sounds but it was Mr Kirk's Nightmare that established their credentials in hardcore breakbeat. |  | | Reinforced Records: Music would be a poorer place without Dego McFarlane and Mark Mac aka 4 Hero, Manix, Tek 9, Jacob's Optical Stairway and Nu Era. |

 | | Raving was about listening to hardcore breakbeat music while going absolutely crazy with other people who were interested in pushing limits and creating a wicked vibe. |  | | The darker breakbeat stuff came to be known as 'jungle,' and later, 'drum and bass' and the happier breakbeat became '4-beat' or 'happy hardcore'. |  | | Though we all like a varity of music, happy hardcore is what brought us together and happy hardcore is what we want the world to hear. |

 | | Some of the records were well made, but although the music had not reached the same peak of the original breakbeat hardcore around 1992, people still decided to cash in and produce poor records. |  | | By 1998, however, the music had become very commercial, abandoning it's original simplicity for over-the-top vocal cover versions of old pop records. |  | | In 1994, happy hardcore basically consisted of sped-up breakbeats combined with piano riffs and pitched up vocals. |
