Hardcore breaks is a subgenre of electronic dance music that combines elements of breakbeat, hardcore techno, and jungle. It is characterized by fast and aggressive beats, heavy basslines, and distorted synths. The genre emerged in the early 2000s and has since gained a dedicated following. Its sound is often described as intense and energetic, with a focus on creating a high-energy atmosphere on the dancefloor. Hardcore breaks artists often incorporate elements of other genres, such as hip-hop and dubstep, into their music.
The style is inspired by the sound and characteristics of old school breakbeat, while being fused with modern production techniques that distinguish the genre from the classic hardcore breakbeat sound. The music is composed of looped, edited and processed breakbeat samples, intense bassline sounds, melodic piano lines, staccato synthesizer riffs, and various vocal samples (mostly taken from old house/techno/uk garage records). The speed of this genre typically fell between the range of 145–155 bpm, while the speed may variate on live sets. Originally being produced by a small group of artists with the vision of carrying on where oldskool hardcore left off before the jungle and happy hardcore split using new production techniques and technology, its appeal has now expanded to include artists from the original breakbeat hardcore scene creating new productions. By the late 2000s, hardcore breaks tend to be produced and played at a bit faster tempos, often between 160–180 bpm. Therefore, it is often played at UK hardcore, freeform hardcore and drum and bass events
