Breaks royalty-free music

Breaks, also called nu skool breaks, grew out of the UK club scene around the turn of the 2000s. It pairs chopped breakbeats with heavy basslines and dark, driving synths at club tempos.

Good uses for breaks

• club and DJ promos;
• action and chase scenes;
• tech and gaming trailers;
• night city and car footage.

The breaks sound

Tempos usually sit around 125 to 140 BPM. Rolling breakbeats keep the drums lively, while thick, filtered basslines and synth stabs give the music weight. It shares energy with techno and house but swings in a different way. For club promos and DJ streams, the groove keeps energy high. For chase scenes, the rolling drums add urgency without the straight pulse of techno.
