I don't see why not, I do...

Breaks went thru a slump this year...but has come back very strong...there are some huge tunes out there on dub at the moment...HUGE - esp from the camps of Breakfastaz, ControlZ/Autobots

I mostly findly breaks as a sound and a scene incredibly tedious. I think 'breaks' as a genre tarnished what I always loved most in music, i.e. breaks. For a genre built around breakbeats, it uses some of swaggest rhythms.

El-B fell out of love with the dark side of dubstep, and became more concerned with nu soul and hip hop. Zed's in Manchester making lots of broken beat and nu soul. i heard he's been really prolific!

imho u may as well drop dnb - it's ironic given the origin of breakbeat just how unfunky it all is - music for student unions, dance music for peeps who don't like dance music

i dunno, i like a fair bit of breaks out there - u just gotta find it amongst 90% of the rubbish that is around...dylan rhymes, 30HZ, breakfastaz etc - half of these are my mates anyway so i kinda support them.

Yeah - OK Sid. No doubt you know more than I - I'm busy trying to get the natives into our music and breakbeat is a door. I've got guys listening to S+d, Darqwan and Dubchild thru selling em the breaks story - so it can't all be bad

The
Distortionz website has some vids from this Malaga massive. Fuckin' amazing.
For the rest: I come from breaks and honestly when i discovered dubstep I have been gradually losing all my interest in breaks. Most of it is complete cheese, an endless succession of buildups and lacks any freshness -especially compared to dubstep. 30hz, entity, baobinga are some of the few exceptions.
Anyway, I bet I'll keep an eye on the evolution of breaks, but I'm not much bothered anymore. Unless you would consider that so-called 'breakstep' as an evolution going on in the realms of breaks, rather than a complementary (re)definition of dubstep. Which I don't.

i listen to a bit breaks too, as i have lotsa friends in this scene too and i have to say theres more and more breakstep sounding stuff coming on lotsa labels. a track that i really like atm is Waveform "Drifter" on the TCR100 compilation, really far off from what u would expect on TCR.
