Breaks music often features heavy basslines, chopped-up vocals, and a wide range of electronic sounds and effects. It has a high-energy, dancefloor-oriented sound that is popular in clubs and festivals around the world. In recent years, the genre has seen a resurgence in popularity, with artists incorporating elements of jungle, techno, and other styles into their productions.
