This is going to be the final Music Monday for a little while! We’re taking a short hiatus to do some retooling behind the scenes. It’s been an absolute blast seeing the Spotify playlist grow, and I want to make sure the next iteration is even better for the community.
In the spirit of taking a "break," today’s theme is Breakbeats.
Born in the 80s streets of New York, breakbeat was the heartbeat of early Hip Hop, directly giving birth to breakdancing and serving as a foundational pillar of DJ culture as it evolved throughout the 90s and into the 2000s as the DNA for everything from Jungle and DnB to Trap and Dubstep. But don't feel boxed in; if it’s got a rhythm that makes you want to move, share it!
