Breakcore

Breakcore is a loosely defined electronic music style that brings together elements of industrial, jungle, hardcore techno and IDM into a breakbeat-oriented sound that encourages speed, complexity, impact and maximum sonic density. Similar to punk, breakcore adheres to a loose set of stylistic “rules” and is defined more by an attitude than by a musical formula. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Swampyboy

    "I would assume you're aware of The Wire's term "hypnagogic pop." What do you think about that taxonomy, and do you think your literally hypnagogic music fits? I'm not aware of that term. Sounds a bit pretentious, to be honest" lol fuck, The Wire are hipsters.

    Y'know, I was thinking more about the whole Skrillex/breakcore thing. There was an interview with Aaron Funk bout 4 days ago where he was asked "Speaking of modern pop music, it recently occurred to me that Skrillex represents something once considered unthinkable: breakcore's crossover into the mainstream (or at least, [i]the crossover of certain techniques that originated with breakcore[/i])." (*You should read the whole thing BTW, it's pretty good*) Ant the interviewer is kinda right if you think about it, the rapid-fire sampling from countless off-the wall sources and songs crafted for deliberate maximum impact are reminiscent of breakcore. It's no coincidence that producers like Bong-Ra and Cardopusher have been delving into dubstep.
