For sharing those great breaks, in any of its forms/genres, and from any time period (but no progressive breaks). In my view it feels like Breaks has made a sweet comeback in the underground, it has that natural ability to amalgamate into all the different genre and some real ear candy can be found. Just listen to these gems below.


Ludwig A.F. - Velocity


Slim Hustla - We Forget That The Water Cycle and Lifecycle Are One

Confirmed the most overplayed song of 2021. And they're not showing any signs of stopping with the crowdpleaser stuff too, I mean, just listen to this:


They're really taking a page out of the modern trance book with the "half the song is a breakdown" thing.

On a more positive note I'm seeing Objekt this weekend, IMO one of the most talented, diverse DJs out there, period.

Listen to how nice this is. Starting as chill downtempo then progressing into more break/jungle beats. Just lovely.

International Waters (Roza Terenzi Remix)
That's what daddy likes.

Can we name this genre trance so that we can actually enjoy something in 2023?

Opener for Chris Lawrence's United States of Trance, though it's a breaks track. Was offered as a free download too (back in 2015ish IIRC).

Prizm & Eclipse - Genesis

And a more chill one:

Data Rebel - Lost in Dam Central (released originally in 2013 as part of Kahvi Collective's Dissonance VA comp, then in 2018 as part of Retrospective)

Debated whether to post it in this thread, since it has influences from like 500 different areas, but:

Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler


Bit of hip hop, bit of breaks, god knows how many other influences. Not sure if this was anywhere near as big in the US as it was in Europe. Still great 24 years later, though.

Way Out West - Blue
