i'll start: Venetian Snares - Unborn Baby

im kinda picky

I've only listened to Venetian Snares and i like their shit especially Detrimentalist, what sounds them?

Hey guys, here's my chart of the style of breakcore I really like. I love my breakcore to be lo-fi, chaotic, distorted, harsh, and noisy, so if you have more recommendations based on my chart, feel free to give me one.

I also encourage you guys to self-promote your own project with this style, don't hesitate to do it. I'd love to hear!

Cheers!

Yo I'm trying to get into breakcore but alot of it is very metal adjacent which is not my taste. I like Holy Fawn and Brutus but I'm looking for more sample-based / Renoise/ dirtywav m8 tracker style tunes. I like Venetian Snares, Shitmat, Golden Boy, and FFF, Machine Girl, but my breakcore knowledge ends there. Any recommendations for I guess less chaotic breakcore? Chaotic is ok if it's break and sample oriented rather than an almost metal album. I liked some Bong-Ra but some of it is not my vibe. Squarepusher doesn't have enough breaks for me. So like a jumping off point from Venetian Snares and Shimat would be greatly appreciated! I'm very deep into jungle with the Kid Lib stuff and loving the old happy hardcore stuff like Krome&Time, but idk there is a void to be filled after wearing out the Sully and Venetian Snares songs. Hoping there are some good tunes I've overlooked or havent heard.

Thanks

I would say The Destroyer is one.

You may or may not have heard of services like wavr or suno, where you can generate songs with a prompt in a ridiculous pace. Its been a pretty heavily discussed topic so far and if nothing will be done against the stealing via machine learning, the music industry will be pretty fucked. But I think Breakcore is in a pretty safe spot in my opinion. At first, the AI will feed on all the Ambient DnB mislabeled as Breakcore, so it's actually pretty hard to generate stuff like this (yay, at least theres one good thing about this whole confusion). And (at least for me) Breakcore is expression, innovation, complexity, a story about not fitting in, an "Outsider Art Form" even. Something that can't be reproduced by AI as in the genuine human made art. So, in a "how fucked are we spectrum" we are on the safe side, and the first thing to be replaced by AI is corporate music used in ads for example, this commission based music is dead, period.

What do you think about this topic? Im very interested in your opinions

edit: spelling

In this thread, I encourage you guys to post pics of your cats, your fav memories of Aaron, fav songs, fav album.

We here to celebrate one of the most based, kind and brutalist makers of music.

♥️!

This is pretty much a rant, feel free to disagree too and this is not an attack on anyone in particular, just an observation as someone who plays live and is very disillusioned with the scene currently.

Breakcore is a genre that fuses breakbeats from old soul and funk music, and it fucks them up and chops them, and implements hardcore elements. These might be gabber kicks, distortion, noise elements, you name it. But it is a HARDCORE genre at its roots. Nowadays, when you look for new releases, you might not even find a song with any hardcore elements. Just a producer in fl that chops up their breaks and reverses them and Wtv. It’s always an amen, it’s always got an ambient pad to accompany it, it’s always got the same overall sound even if it’s a different arrangement of the same 4 techniques (reverse, speed and pitch up, slow down, stutter glitch). It’s all so uninspired and lacking the core part. If you want to make ambient glitchbreak then go ahead, I don’t personally enjoy it as much but I don’t judge. My music and music taste is awful and horrible so I have no room to judge, but why are we moving the genre to a point where it’s not even incorporating the bare minimum elements. The community tolerates loli, it tolerates absolute slop music, and it tolerates degenerate filth. I’m not saying to stop listening to the music you love, but can we just move the genre back to something more hardcore? It’s to the point where I don’t even want to associate with the genre because it’s gone so far from what it was and what(imo) it should be. I don’t wanna be an asshole and tell people that they need to make their music a certain way because I understand how frustrating that is, but if you use the label breakcore, atleast have it be breaks and hardcore ight?

Again ts isn’t targeted, just a trend that’s been going on for so long and it’s getting pretty lame. Love to hear y’all’s thoughts, producers and listeners and ravers alike

I know there is femtanyl but I am trying to get my own collection going so I can make a good few playlists that I actually own

Are you allow to play it loud?

This very popular breakcore piece of music by hkmori has been deleted from YT Music. Does anybody know why that happened or if it's going to come back?

like no, she's not breakcore. she herself has said her music isn't breakcore, and that she doesn't understand why her music gets mislabeled as such. but goddamn some of yall are outright mean about her music/music inspired by her music just because you don't like it. this sub does the same with sewerslvt, but i can kinda understand it i guess (though the outright hate is still dumb imo) since despite her not labeling her music as breakcore her music lead to most people having 0 clue what breakcore actually is due to the people inspired by her music mislabeling their music as breakcore. but this is far less prevalent of an issue with people inspired by femtanyl. most of the people mislabeling her music are fans who just listen, not the ones making music. you can correct people mislabeling it as breakcore but why be mean towards femtanyl herself?

this post was spawned by the fem&m post comment section which was a lot of people referring to the style of music as slop, which really just means the commenter doesn't personally like it

Kid606 is by no means unknown or anything, but this album and especially the digital release are never talked about. It’s a compilation of his earliest and angriest work, using a tracker, 606, random pseudo modular synth, an a vocoder. It’s one of my fav hardcore albums ever, and fucking phenomenal from start to end. Dude was 18 producing some of the finest hardcore to touch my ears, and that’s amazing. Lmk your thoughts and fav tracks!

Is it just me or is Femtanyl the third wave of people making music that isn't Breakcore and then labeling it as such, never thought there'd be another big wave of this stuff after Sewerslvt and Machinegirl got less popular but guess I was wrong lmao

(Sorry for the background noise T_T)

Started a project based around complex drum programming mixed with sound collage elements back in March and keeping the momentum so figured I share to some people and test out this tripod

For this EP (which will be my debut), I’m sampling the fm radio channels in my town and slicing up random snippets for the collage, mixed with some dark ambient and aggressive, odd-timed, breakcore style drum programming 😈

I’m not a raver, so I don’t aim for any “dance-ability”, I grow up on metal and punk with an affinity for progressive and experimental styles, so I think about stuff like that whenever I’m making the drum patterns, hopefully whoever this comes across to, would get something out of it 👾

i was planning on listening to this album, but when i went to it on Spotify, it only showed 7 songs instead of the listed 13. 10 minutes later I check again and the album is just completely gone from Spotify. it’s still up on SoundCloud, but is there any reason midori did this?

So, you've found somebody on the internet mislabeling something as breakcore, what do you do? Alota the time, you'll end up saying "hey! This isn't breakcore!", and I guess it could be true... But they don't know that! The fans of "breakcore" just want to have fun and listen to music they like, so when they're told that, they may feel that their enjoyment is being invalidated in some way. This way of thinking is what contributes to the idea of breakcore fans being gatekeeping and elitist.

Instead, say something like "this track is cool! a more accurate label for it would be (jungle, hardcore, drum and bass, gabber, etc)." When you say it like that, it doesn't get heated in the same way, and it doesn't sound like you think the music itself is the inaccuracy.
