Danny Rants · Kid Kenobi: How One DJ Made Breaks Mainstream in Australia · 26 Jul 2026 podcast

And they're like, oh, what's that?

And I'm like, well, it's sort of like, you know, around that same tempo as house music, but just like a different sort of beat structure.

It's more rhythmical.

It sort of sounds a bit more like a sped up hip hop beat, I guess I would sometimes describe it as.

I think they kind of get it, but half the time they're just going, what the hell is this going on about?

Yeah.

So the kick drum in house music's on the one.

So it's like one, two, three, four is a kick on every one.

Whereas breaks, it'd be like on every second and maybe not on the one.

So it'd be like boom, chuck, boom, chuck, instead of boom, boom, boom.

There you go.

There's breakbeat summed up in a nutshell.

Is it harder to play?

You know, it's tricky actually to decide sometimes because I think some, because there's like only, because it's a lot more going on, I guess in a breakbeat is, you know, there's more kick, there's more, because there's a lot more rhythmic structure to it, I guess.

Maybe you can get away with more mistakes sometimes because there's lots going on.

Whereas it's just like one kick drum at 124, 128 beats per minute.

You've got less room for error.

I think people are going to hear a kick drum that's out if you're mixing house a lot more easily than if you're going to hear it in a breakbeat track maybe.

Yeah, yeah.

So back in those days, they were all in illegal warehouses, inner city warehouses.
