breakbeats

Secret Weapon was an early 80's disco/electro outfit. Their songs featured rapping, which was quite uncommon at the time. Their "Must Be the Music" single on Prelude records is a dance classic.

Bassnectar on his history, posted via bassnectar.net A quick run down of my musical life:
When I was in junior high I began discovering music that struck me, as opposed to music that felt familiar (like my parent’s music). This was mostly Metallica (the first song I heard of theirs was “Enter Sandman”, so this was after they had already become “mainstream” and blown up), NWA (which I memorized completely verbatim)...

The Detroit Grand Pubahs are Dr. Toefinger (Andy Toth) and Paris the Black Fu (Mack Goudy, Jr.). Both are from detroit, Michigan, United States. They combine electro, hip hop, and booty-bass with a good dose of humour to create a unique sound. Both of the Pubahs started in music at an early age, with Andy starting to play drums in various local bands at 16. Vocalist Mack began Djing at a similar age having been influenced by Jeff Mills’ legendary radio mix shows.

DJ ICON, also known as Connie Wong, began her DJ career in 1996 at age 16 in San Francisco, California. She quickly rose in the ranks and created a name for herself in the underground, soon to break through the surface onto clubs, televisions, and radios across the globe. ICON was known as a trance DJ for the first half of her career but since 2001, she has immersed herself into breakbeats and almost exclusively plays Nu-Skool and Funky Breaks, a style she refers to as "Dirrty Breaks". However, when called upon, her versatility allows her to play all genres of electronic dance music.
