..Nu Breaks

Nu skool breaks is a form of breakbeat music genre, combining the futuristic sense of drum and bass, the sounds of techno, the bass of dub and the beats from real drummers and drum machines. The genre also prominently features electro and hip hop influences and tracks typically run at 130 to 140 bpm.

Origins


TCR label founder Rennie Pilgrem coined the term to promote his then club night, Friction, differentiating it from the increasingly boorish Big Beat scene. He also released two highly successful compilations compiled with Danny McMillan, Nu Skool Breaks, Volume 1 and 2, through UK based Kickin Records in 1998. The first volume of these was recorded live at the aforementioned London club night Friction, an influential breaks night that provided a springboard for the careers of producers Danny McMillan, Adam Freeland, and Tayo, as well as promoters Ian Williams and Pilgrem who collectively founded the night. Friction became a focal point for their emerging styles of breakbeat-centered music and the night was boosted by its initial launch at Bar Rumba, a club known for its competent sound system and intimate basement space.
Recently, the UK sound has begun to devolve, losing the characteristic breakbeat that defines the sound, and replacing it with a beat that more resembles house music. The term 'plod' has been coined for this style - describing the nature of the beats sound as if they are plodding along like a horse's hooves. This new style of nu skool has also gained a bad reputation among the nu skool "purists", and in some circles is frowned upon as even being called "Breaks".
