Breakbeat

Breakbeat is a primarily UK-based style that existed alongside and quickly became infused
into hardcore rave/techno music, in turn leading to faster, more complex
[jungle](https://www.discogs.com/style/jungle) and
[hardcore](https://www.discogs.com/style/hardcore) music. Breakbeat is characterized by
a prominent, syncopated 4/4 rhythm constructed from breakbeats—i.e., sampled drum
breakdowns from [rock](https://www.discogs.com/genre/rock),
[jazz](https://www.discogs.com/genre/jazz),
[funk](https://www.discogs.com/style/funk), and [hip-
hop](https://www.discogs.com/genre/hip+hop) music. Unlike jungle, breakbeat has very
little variation or rearrangement of the drum patterns, and it is usually slower/mid-
tempo, roughly 100 to 125 BPM, speeding up as the style evolved into jungle. The "Golden
Age" of breakbeat was the early 1990s.
