in re: definition of breakbeats, though *all* definitions in recent
postings are *certainly*
in proper and correct placement, thanks to moth! for a bit of a history
lesson.
"breakbeat" as a term is generic, like making a "xerox" or using a "bandaid"
or in proper djing history: "cutting" to the "break"
take 2 copies of any LPs with *any* breaks, rythmic generally, (but I've also
heard some djs cutting 2 copies of melody breaks or vocal shout breaks,
particularly
in house djing)
and you are playing with break (beat)s
thank you, moth!
Favorite unused breaks anyone? , spotters?
I've got a dandy unused break from a very uncool, very common, very unhip LP

or,
"Originating from the Bronx in the early 70's, DJ's would extend a record
by mixing 2 copies of the same track, specifically at the point of a
drumbreak. The record would be repeatedly cross-cut, thus extending and
repeating the mix. The net result would be a live remix of the track
featuring an elongated percussive 'break', created specifically to make
the assembled dancers go Crazy !"
