So of course when I was doing the music, it was my take on those records, but it always came out as something different. And they all brought their own spin to the sound. That was very exciting. The spiritual home of bruk, and the breeding ground for this new music, was Co-Op, an intense and sweaty Sunday night basement club.
Co-Op became a vital testing ground for this new music. But the sound never went away; in , a Co-Op club night collaboration for Boiler Room—called Selectors Assemble—linked the original architects with new-school producers. Alternative and unreleased mixes help make this essential. And this killer EP, with its cascading chord changes and serious analogue keys from Tatham, picked up where Future left off.
The subsequent LP, Shaping Fluid , is equally essential. Rather than being one sound, broken beat had many strands, and influenced producers from different musical backgrounds. His LP, Desert Scores , was a milestone in tech-jazz that exhibited a broken style programming sensibility. Tags: broken beat. Latest Articles.

There is also the sound of imagination and cooperation defying the limitations of bedroom studios. The transposed Detroit chord that cycles through the changes and the stop-and-start rhythm were often emulated but never surpassed, and the vocal, at once kinky, sexual and even a touch romantic, always got the bodies going on the floor. The ascending synth lines creep up the spine and many of them have a vocal quality to them, as though the circuits are trying to communicate.
This was the work of Mark De Clive-Lowe, Domu and Seiji in collaboration, and is a good example of the freaky psychedelic quality that many bruk tunes have. The drums skip and stutter satisfyingly, but the funk is somehow retained, despite the artificial sound textures and machines at work. This is Domu at his most accessible — smooth Rhodes changes and a hooky ARP Odyssey bassline make this track an instant earworm inducer. Despite a large and varied discography that includes progressive collaborations with Seiji in the Reinforced era and numerous heavy dubplates during the 00s, he is still under-repped and underrated today.
The force has always been strong with Mark, and this still stands the test of time, totally relevant to the post-garage, post-dubstep scene of today. The heart of Loose Lips is a stripped down groove — a chopped drum break with Pierre Henry siren noises that echo away in the background, and not a whole lot else.
Kaidi Tatham was the jazz virtuoso lynchpin in the Cooperation movement. On Feed The Cat , Kaidi finally got to helm his own album, and the results still sound compelling today. The better broken tunes tend to fall into one of two groups — either they are richly layered, colourful, soulful, and steeped in the lush over-production language of boogie funk, or alternatively, just stripped down dubs which propel the dance through rippling sine wave bass and thudding kicks and snares.
Cockroach falls firmly into the latter group, and of all the bass-heavy dubs, is probably the best. Despite the in-joke, both sides of this sound like they were made with leftover samples from that era, a rumour which is unsubstantiated with the author. Daz I Kue is the drum scientist behind many of the Bugz In The Attic tunes, and Dalunartiks was an early project with Alex Arnout that retained a raw hip hop feel, but at dancefloor tempo.
