years. When I asked David about his first awareness of Breakbeat as a genre he said “in around 2000 when Stanton Sessions was dropped” which is a mix CD show casing Breakbeat music mixed by the Stanton Warriors. Langford then goes on to say that “Breakbeat isn’t currently in a good shape”. He said that “the particular high points for him in the Breakbeat scene were around 2000 and then again in around 2005/2006”, which coincides with the Breakbeat, boom of the mid 00s. Langford also interestingly points
along with Lotti Golden and Richard Scher fusing electro, funk, and hip hop with elements of Latin music. Detroit techno DJ Eddie Fowlkes shaped a style called electro-soul, which was characterized by a predominant bass line and a chopped up electro breakbeat contrasted with soulful male vocals. 151 Rock samples replaced synthesizers that had figured so prominently in electro, and rap styles and techniques evolved in tandem, anchoring rap to the changing hip hop culture. Although the early 1980s were
Kool Herc, is considered by many to be the founder of hip-hop in the early 1970s in The Bronx, New York City. He is a Jamaican American DJ who is known for using funk and disco records to create prolonged breakbeats that served as the foundation for hip-hop music. Those who danced to the breakbeat were known as break-boys and break-girls, or b-boys, b-girls, and break-dancers. While he spun records, DJ Kool Herc would encourage dancers in a syncopated, rhyme that served as the foundation for what would
Known as the “Godfather of Soul”, the late James Brown is known as a legend within the music industry (‘James Brown Biography’). Going from rags to riches, the singer has left a permanent mark on music today through his flamboyant career as a man of many trades. Like most celebrities, however, he was not perfect and held views that did not promote the success of the black community. I argue that although James Brown helped pave the way for many musicians and pride for blackness, Brown’s political

Techno is a form of electronic dance music that emerged in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States during the mid-to-late 1980s. The first recorded use of the word techno in reference to a specific genre of music was in 1988. Many styles of techno now exist, but Detroit techno is seen as the foundation upon which a number of subgenres have been built. In Detroit, techno resulted from the melding of African American music including Chicago house, funk, electro, and electric jazz with electronic music
This type of dancing rose in the 1970's.. Pretty much any tune can be separated to an essential rehashed design. By rehashing this example, DJ's could make a beat that was perfect to move over. This is known as a breakbeat. Since it is performed over a "breakbeat" the reason for the name break dancing ought to be self-evident. Break dancing is altogether different from different sorts of moving as it is performed in the city, while wearing a couple of shoes and on a bit of cardboard.
Techno Electronic music has been around since the late 60's and is now a very popular type of music among many poeple. My favorite genre of electronic music is Techno. Techno is a hard edge driven dance music that contains electronic sounds, high-energy, and a rhythmic beat. The sounds can range from simple beats of a drum to TV and movie dialogue or siren screams. Around 1986, there was a scene in Detroit which began spinning a futuristic kind of music. The DJ's began experimenting with electronic
Imagine a world unaccompanied by culture, expression, individuality, or style. Visualize a world without any differences or creativity. Envision how that would look, dull, and boring, a world without Hip Hop, an evolving culture, including expression, individuality, and style all in one. As a result, the popularity of Hip Hop significantly increased, over the decades. Actually, “R&B and Hip Hop are now responsible for 25.1 % of all music consumption in the U.S” (McIntyre). This implies that Hip Hop
I grew a fond of music at a young age just as many of people grew into their love for music. Music was everyone’s first love and I believe it will be everyone’s last. The notes, the rhythms, and the feeling of euphoria one experiences when they hear their favorite genre of music. The power of will to make the creation of melodies straight from the heart. That is why I believe that everyone sees music as an art form. Everybody has their likes and dislikes when it comes time to listen to music, but
My short story is about the similarities of music and sports. First, music is the sound of voices and/or instruments. It has a range of high, low, loud, or quiet. Music is not just something to listen to. Music is also to play or sing. For people music is not just about the sound, it is about the feeling. How music makes you feel is important. It could be harming, calming, peaceful, hateful, dangerous, mysterious, inspirational, warm felt, dreadful, faithful. It has a different meaning to each and
the Spirituality of Electronics Electronic music is generally broken into techno, house, trance, hardcore, breakbeat, and ambient music, along with affiliated smaller genres that float between categories, like trip-hop, electro, IDM, and others. Ambient is easily recognized by its separation from dancing, which is normally manifested in slower tempos and less distinct rhythms. Breakbeat (of which drum'n'bass makes up most of the faster genres, while there are slower genres as well) is distinguished
convey their story of struggle in a lyrical fun way. Hip-hop’s roots in the 1970s can be traced back to New York’s South Bronx neighbourhood. The genre was founded by young African-American, Caribbean and Latino communities who started MCing and breakbeats. The person widely credited as the father of the movement, DJ Kool Herc, based
stripped down to a simple pattern that is repeating, this is what gives rhythm. DJ’s repeated these patterns over and over and then a beat emerged that could be danced to. This is known as a breakbeat (nowadays it is becoming another genre of music). “Break dancing” gets its name from this very concept; the breakbeat gives dancers a steady rhythm to move to. Unlike any other dance performance that is done on a street, break dancing is quite different. Break dancing is a way to express your character by
"B-boying" was created by Kool Herc who was a DJ spinning at block parties in Bronx back in the days. B-Boys means break boys and they were called so because they dance to the break part of music. Later, by repeating this break part done by DJ, "breakbeats" was born. Although people tend to pick up only power moves, real b-boys should master the all elements of b-boying. There are controversy between people who emphasize on style and power moves. One puts his emphasis on power moves and their combination
Hip Hop used to be made by sampling old funk records which featured breakdowns, or drum and bass only sections used to create a continuous breakbeat. The rhyme, or rap is equivalent to “flow of words”. An emcee (MC is short for master of ceremonies) or hip-hop artist would then “rap” over the sampled beat into a completely new track. Hip hop songs usually lie between 80 to 105 beats per minute
Hip-hop is an urban youth culture associated with rap music and the fashions of African American residents of the inner city. Before hip-hop was given its name it was originally called disco rap. It was called disco rap because it was born from the ashes of disco and the development of funk. Hip-hop began in New York City and its journey to becoming mainstream music was slow in the beginning but became popular once it grew. DJ-ing is remixing a song playing a certain lyric in the song while one
Hip-Hop is an international culture art form developed in the late 1970s through African-American youth in the Bronx. Although not limited to the African-American youth of its time the culture is widely known to consist of the four elements of mceeing, turntablism, djing, b-boying/b-girling as well as graffiti ( ). Throughout the development of the genre Hip-Hop has had a conscious role in educating listeners on current political events and issues affecting the surrounding communities the music serves
Hip-hop has become a mainstream culture in youth today. It is a classic of music that contains both rap and break dancing. Hip-hop culture, originally from African Americans in the United States, has influenced many young generations. For example, there are many famous hip-hop artists who are supported by new generations, such as Jay-z, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem.
