progressive breaks


not really considered to be an official genre, and not really as much of a combination of the two genres (progressive house and breakbeat) as it is to destinguish itself from breakbeat in it’s hip hop influenced form – where more of the emphasis is on being funky.

a prog breaks fan is more often a discerning listener and a thinker. typical features of prog breaks include:
> tidily composed, cleverly arranged beats
> a variety of texture (rough, smooth, sharp, flat)
> ingenuity and innovation in synthetic sound
> a breakdown of some kind (for a few seconds), where the artist has let their creativity loose with upfront synth sounds or with a crazy, unpredictable bout of broken beats set to send your mind boggling.

notable artists include (but definately not restricted to) – hybrid, luke chable, phil k, andy page, burufunk, grayarea.
“what kinda music you looking for mate?”
“breakbeat, but proggy breaks – intelligent breaks”
