Of course the popular style is evolving, and live electronics acts are slowly taking over the music festivals, however there is still a huge breaks following, especially in Sydney and Perth. Recent festival headliners include Freq Nasty, Plump DJs, Kid Kenobi (Oz' No.1 Breaks DJ), Soulwax, 2ManyDJs, Malente...to name a few. I'm still searching the NYC scene for good breaks, if anyone knows a regular club night, or local DJs, please holler!

I loved that channel. I used to listen to it all the time at work. For breaks and dubstep vinyl, I use www.chemicalrecords.co.uk (best selection that I know of) For DnB and dubstep vinyl I use www.redeyerecords.co.uk For digital copies I use Di.fm IdealSound.ca itunes In my opinion, nothing gets a crowd dancing faster than breaks.

The deluge of new school breaks records that came out as it became solidified as a genre were far less innovative (IMHO) than the breaks records from before that time. I'm personally glad that they have become less popular and foks have moved on because the quality of vinyl releases has gone way up even as the quantity has dwindled. The uptempo break, let's say 120-140 bpm, will endure as a beat simply because it's really fun to dance to, so no worries there.

And I feel like perhaps the dance scene is moving past them as a favorite. But it's a bedrock rhythm that I can't get enough of. I want more resources for buying records or downloading stuff other than additech, Dance Records and Beatport. Any ideas? However, on the 12th, Sirius and XM began merging their programming and cancelled the only breaks/electro radio station out there, Boombox 39. While they put Liquid Todd out to the dole, I have to say that's not the worst part of it. The worst part of it was that the two networks went from about 7 electronic music stations to just three. Now you have cheezy house, really cheezy house and the chill channel (which is good but not satisfying). I think that the demise of Boombox somewhat heralds the fact that pop culture has moved on from breaks. And that's fine with me. I still love em. I will still spin em and will definitely be dancing to em.
