Combining breakbeats with Dubstep......

Post by JFK » Thu Aug 20, 2009 9:18 pm

Hey all,

Basically Im getting a bit tired of straight dubstep beats and am looking to add a bit of variation in the form of breaks outside of the standard halftime style.

Anyone got any tips on combining breaks (Amen, tramen etc) with dubstep productions? If anyone has any examples of tracks they have worked on or any artists they could recommend that would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance guys.

Peace

I use classic breaks quite a lot. You can check out www.soundcloud.com/savoryaudio or www.myspace.com/abz or there is quite a bit of things in the catalog that have breaks http://www.digital-tunes.net/labels/savory_audio/

Bunch of shit on this mix I did too, tracklist is included. http://www.examplemag.co.uk/?p=1009

It was the standard style years back, at least I remember loads of early dubstep using breaks, way more than now. I always preferred that sound myself, or at least some layered shuffles/breaks. Check some Search & Destroy.

Good to hear someone else repping these guys. Especially wagawaga. That guy needs some serious RESPECT.
