Felt wrote:not saying it bad music at all and i guess i singled out him abit, just when i first heard about breakcore i ofcause thought it something extreme, reserching it finding artists like him, put me off breakcore for awhile cause its quite soft, isnt til i later found other artists that i got into it, the main point is why are softer artists getting more attension, when hardness is a defining element of breakcore? (...and dont say that music dont have to be hard to be good, cause i didn't mean that)
that's true, when i first listened to breakcore, the only way i could describe it was drum and bass that was heavily distorted.
but after listening for a few years it just doesn't seem as crazy, so when you hear a breakcore track that makes you go mad, it has to be seriously special.
i personally don't care about whether a genre is going mainstream or not, so long as it doesn't get ruined, but i think people like the softer tracks like aaron spectre, and for example the hungarian album by vsnares, because it is more mainstream. like you could really easily get into aaron spectre with stuff say look out fi liar etc if you had a background in drum and bass/jungle.
music doesn't have to be hard to be good, but in the case of breakcore, if it isn't hard enough... listen to some proper breakcore init.
i do like aaron spectre mind, try and listen to his live sets though as i reckon that's where his talent shines. try and find some set he did in boston, beat research or something like that.

i can understand why youd think lowly of him
when i first heard his musical genre and taste i really dident enjoy it
but if you take the time to listen to his albums and
get down to the brass tacks.
he has some serious abstract skill.

HORSE FORCE wrote:drumcorps is pretty unique in terms of breakcore live acts. aaron spectre has some good stuff out and some shitty stuff. it seems like most of the time, he just takes songs that are already good and just puts amen snares and metal kicks over it.
Totally agree!
But like what I can do live.

at the moment it's the usual array - Venitian Snares, Aaron Spectre + Drumcorp, liked some of endusers stuff, wisp - can anyone point me in the direction of some heavier stuff?

Just off the top of my head, if you like mash-up, and you like it hard, try
Jimmy S (www.myspace.com/jimmysbandmusic). His mixtapes raise the roof, as they say in construction circles. (and he samples monty python, haha)
