Best 100 breakbeat releases

Breakbeat is a genre of electronic music that is characterized by the use of breakbeats, which are brief, repeated drum samples or loops taken from recordings of funk, soul, jazz, and other genres of music. These breakbeats are then manipulated and rearranged to create complex and often syncopated rhythms that form the backbone of the music. Breakbeat emerged in the early 1980s as an offshoot of hip-hop and became popular in the UK during the 1990s with the rise of rave culture. It has since influenced many other genres of electronic music, including drum and bass, big beat, and jungle.
