In the late-1980s, breakbeat became an essential feature of many genres of breaks music which became popular within the global dance music scene, including acid breaks, electro-funk, and Miami bass, and decade later big beat and nu skool breaks. 1990s: Evolution as electronic dance genre Through crude techniques such as pausing tapes and then recording the break, by the 1980s, technology allowed anybody with a tape recorder to find the breakbeat. In the 1980s, the evolution of technology began to make sampling breaks easier and more affordable for DJs and producers, which helped nurture the commercialization of hip hop.
In the late 1970s, hip hop was all about the break. This style was extremely popular in clubs and dancehalls because the extended breaks compositions provided breakers with more opportunities to showcase their skills. This style was copied and improved upon by early hip hop DJs Afrika Bambaataa and Grand Wizard Theodore. Grandmaster Flash perfected this idea with what he called the "quick-mix theory": he would mark the points on the record where the break began and ended with a crayon, so that he could easily replay the break by spinning the record and not touching the tone arm. DJ Kool Herc's breaks style involved playing the same record on two turntables and playing the break repeatedly, alternating between the two records. History 1970s-1980s: Classic breaks and hip hop production īeginning in 1973 and continuing through the late 1970s and early 1980s, hip hop turntablists, such as DJ Kool Herc began using several funk breaks in a row, using drum breaks from jazz-funk tracks such as James Brown's " Funky Drummer" and The Winstons' "Amen Brother", to form the rhythmic base for hip hop songs. The origin of the word "breakbeat" is the fact that the drum loops that were sampled occurred during a " break" in the music - for example the Amen break (a drum solo from " Amen, Brother" by The Winstons) or the Think Break (from " Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins).
