I've always thought that breaks sound really cool below 140bpm.
DR LX Patterson will play the occasional Drum&Bass 45 at 33, to get
that effect. At 180bpm, breakbeats are pretty twitchy. At 132,
the slower skank and lower pitch adds flavor.
I've been making tracks like this for years. Nice to know there's
a style pigeonhole for it finally. I've not heard the UK 'nu breaks'
yet, but I imagine the cheese to caviar ratio is no better or worse
than for any other genre.
