A repeated sample of a drumbeat, usually forming a fast syncopated rhythm, used as a basis for dance music. 2. Dance music featuring breakbeats. History: In 1967, straight out of reggae and dub filled Jamaica and into the streets of the West Bronx came a man called Herc. Dj Kool Herc. Herc Knew that everyone danced the hardest at the percussion break of each song. Herc took the small 'breaks' of each track, and with two copies of the same record kept the break going for up to five minutes. Once he dropped the vocals back in, everyone went nuts. Others, such as Grandmaster Flash, soon picked up on Herc's style of "break-beat" music and hip-hop was born soon after. (RA, 2008) The Amen Break, a drum break from The Winstons' song "Amen, Brother" is widely regarded as one of the most commonly-used and sampled breaks among music using breakbeats Being such an influential genre worldwide it was only right Reminisce This.. gave it the attention it so rightly deserves.
