With all this talk of jungle, I am going to ask a niave question- with regard to breakbeats, what part ot is the 'break' and what part is the 'beat'? It may sound stupid, but the only thing I hear in breakbeats is a sped-up repitition of a bar of some hip-hop beat, as opposed the classic techno/house 4/4 'thump' 'thump' 'thump' beat. I became intrigued when I was sorting through some old stuff and came on to KLF's White Room...on the inside credits they list certain people as being responsible for the 'breaks' on certain tracks. Are these the same thing? Anyone who can clarify will relieve me of this stupid desire to know so that I may get back some IDM listening. I got Gerald on right now...old house and now his jungle...cool stuff.
