Brakebeat music origin
Breakbeat was an underground music which had originally
come in from the USA in the late 1970s. Frankie Bones ,
at his early DJ-ing stage had created breakbeat irregular
music, whereby he had overlapped two same records on turn-table
decks at slightly different speeds and slightly delayed.
This would create asynchronous beat, which would drive the
crowd crazy. His track named "Bones Breaks" was
a pioneer if not discovererof breakbeat which has remained
strictly underground since. In the late 80s, house scene
erupted in UK, especially in London. As house scene had progressed,
the ecstasy rave culture had emerged from the youth, suppressing
the football hooliganism. House from one side and breakbeat
from the other side had created a combination, which later
led to production of what was called jungle and what is now
called drum & bass.
Before the breakbeat there was the break. This term that
originates in jazz describes those passages in musical compositions
in which all other instruments are dampened so that the beat
alone can work its magic. Consequently, the term "break" should
be construed in its original meaning as an intermission in
which the drum solo alone ruled the stage. Breaks in the
late 1960's and early 1970's were a staple of Funk, and "King
of Funk" James Brown's drummers Jabo Starks and Clyde
Stubblefield weren't the last to user their drum solos to
demonstrate what beats were capable of. This sets the time
frame for the first emergence of Breakbeat, and now really
only two things are missing from the show: The stage and
the actors.
The stage for this spectacle was provided in the early 70's
by the Bronx, the notorious New York City neighborhood which
to this day puts a sparkle in the eye of those in the know.
The main characters involved are quickly determined as well:
The breakers, breakdancers or simply B-boys, and a young
Herculean black man of Jamaican descent named Clive Campbell,
today known better as the man who invented Hip Hop, the legendary
DJ Kool Herc.
Like many cutting-edge discoveries in the early history
of music, Breakbeat was born on a sweaty dance floor, the
one of the dance club Fever. Let's go back to that night
in 1974, in the West Bronx, to the dance floor at Fever.
Kool Herc is behind the decks, the place is packed and people
are getting down to dance, or rather, to Hustle.
The Hustle was the popular dance of the fading Disco era
and Herc chose his records accordingly: Late Funk and Disco.
But not all club-goers participated in the activities on
the dance floor. A few trainspotters, disaffected by their
surroundings, were always waiting quietly for their moment
to shine: The break. The energetic rhythmic sections were
the fuel for their performance, the breakdancing show. Breaking
or breakdancing allowed these boys to draw attention to themselves,
to be the stars of the evening for a short moment while surrounded
by Hustle dancers, and their artistic performances regularly
pushed the dynamics on the dance floor to a climax in which
the energy exploded. This would not go unnoticed by an attentive
DJ like Kool Herc, and that legendary night he tried an experiment.
Driven by the intention to extend the part the breakdancers
required for their show, he had thought about how to achieve
this and that night in 1974, with the help of two turntables
and one mixer, he mixed the rhythm sections of different
tracks seamlessly one after the other for the first time.
The audience flipped, the breakdancers freaked, and the dance
floor exploded.
This was the making of a recipe for success, a whole new
style of music: The Breakbeat, the root of Hip Hop, Drum & Bass
and the genre still known as Breakbeat today. Kool Herc's
example was quickly adopted and inspired numerous DJ to imitate
him and to shape and form this new kind of music. Even if
Herc's mixing style may seem primitive to the contemporary
eye - after all, he wasn't doing anything close to beatmatching
yet - he nevertheless has every right to the title Originator.
Twenty years later the Chemical Brothers invited the long
since retired Kool Herc to London to be a guest DJ and open
for their shows, and in doing so paid respect to the man
who laid the foundation for their own music: The inventor
of Breakbeat.
