			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Notes On &#8220;Notes On Breakcore&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>One  should not expect &#8220;Breakcore – The Movie&#8221;, the ultimate Guide to a  music genre and its history (although you might find some bits of these  informations in here as well) but rather a statement video presenting  different artists, labels and their musical styles and strategies as  they were touring in the middle of the 2000s.</p>
<p>We  just had the feeling there was a peak of creativity in hard electronic  dance music at that time and subsequently tried to capture it on tape.</p>
<p>We  found not only a rich subculture of independent, self aware producers  but also a lot of politically active individuals with an actual message  behind their music.</p>
<p>Music  press and industry always generate categorizations and in 2005  everything fast, dark or experimental was called Breakcore very much the  same way every form of slow, dark or experimental breakbeat music is  labelled Dubstep today.</p>
<p>You  could name this film &#8220;Notes On Somewhere Inbetween The 2nd Wave Of  Breakcore&#8221;, keeping in mind that interesting new forms mostly happen  outside of clear genrefication.</p>
<p><strong>Notes On Breakcore | &gt;&gt;  a statement video about musical styles and strategies in the mid-2000s</strong></p>
<p>Der Begriff Breakcore tümpelt seit über einem Jahrzehnt durch die  Randbereiche des Undergrounds elektronischer Musik und führte dort lange  ein Schattendasein als Jungle/Breakbeat-Bastard von Gabba und  Hardcore-Techno. Durch die zunehmende Popularität in den letzten Jahren  wurde er jedoch zunehmend von der allgemeinen Musikpresse als eine  weitere Kategorisierung im Schubladensystem der Musikrezeption  aufgegriffen. Bei näherer Betrachtung entpuppt sich das vermeindlich  neue Genre als hybride Strategie, welche die unterschiedlichsten  Stilrichtungen akkumuliert und adaptiert. Das Spektrum der integrierten  Sounds reicht mittlerweile von Punk bis Freejazz über Klassik und Metal  bis hin zu Schlager, Soul, 80?s Pop/Rock und Hiphop (um nur einige zu  nennen). Trotz seiner unzähligen Verwandschaften ist Breakcore  weitgehend von den Auswirkungen der Musikindustrie verschont und  unkategorisierbar geblieben; dennoch deckt er durch seine  Chamäleonhaftigkeit beinah sämtliche Bereiche zeitgenössischer  Elektronik ab &#8212; vom Party-Noisegewitter am Dancefloor bis hin zu den  vertrackten Experimenten der aktuellen elektronischen Avantgarde.</p>
<p>Der Grafiker, Comiczeichner und DJ Bertram Könighofer (Recherchen und  Interviews) und der Videokünstler und Musiker David Kleinl (Kamera,  Schnitt und Interviews) haben sich aufgemacht, um ihre ProtagonistInnen  zu deren Selbstdefinition und Leben als Musiker zu befragen. Was in den  1990ern noch im E- und Kunstmusik-Kontext rezipiert wurde, emanzipierte  sich von akademischen Zusammenhängen und fand Eingang in die Clubs.<br />
Die portraitierten Artists gründeten Labels und Plattformen,  kommunizieren weltweit übers Internet und schaffen somit unabhängige  Vertriebsstrukturen. Sie veranstalten im Sub- und Hochkulturbereich. Mit  ihren Laptops, elektronischen Devices und Turntables sind sie die  Rockstars der Stunde, die sich mit ihrer Do-it-yourself-Attitüde einer  konventionellen, medialen Vermittlung entziehen und somit ihrer eigenen  Community bieten, was sie versprechen: &#8220;My subculture can kick your  subculture&#8217;s ass anytime 24/7&#8243; &#8212; und das weltweit und unabhängig.</p>

<p>Wikipedia on &#8220;Breakcore&#8221;</p>
<p>As the early days of &#8220;hardcore techno&#8221; or just &#8220;hardcore&#8221; began to  settle in Europe, breakcore as a genre began to take more concrete forms  in other parts of the world. Inspired by new labels such as Addict,  from Milwaukee, USA; Peace Off from Rennes, France; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_Belligeranza">Sonic Belligeranza</a> from Bologna, Italy; and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Mu">Planet Mu</a>, from London, began to take a new shape, adding in more elements of <a title="Mashup (music)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_%28music%29">mashup</a> and <a title="Intelligent dance music" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_dance_music">IDM</a> to the hardcore sounds. Each of these labels began to draw in aspects  of their own social and aesthetic scenes into their music, allowing for  an even broader definition of what was possible in the music.</p>
<p>One of the most controversial issues in breakcore is that of the mere  existence of the genre. Because it pulls liberally from other musical  genres, there is not a consensus on what is and what is not breakcore,  or even over the usefulness of the term itself. Because of the  fragmentation, the breakcore scene is not centered in any one  geographical location, but is rather scattered into disparate groups.  Perhaps the one place where breakcore&#8217;s &#8220;voice&#8221; can be heard is  virtually, through the internet and various online forums, such as those  at C8 and Widerstand (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiterherd">Eiterherd</a>&#8216;s website, now defunct).</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Reynolds">Simon Reynolds</a>, of <em>The New York Times</em>, breakcore is &#8220;purveyed by artists like <a title="DJ/Rupture" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ/Rupture">DJ/Rupture</a> and Teamshadetek, the music combines rumbling bass lines, fidgety beats and grainy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragga">ragga</a> vocals to create a home-listening surrogate for the <em>bashment</em> vibe of a Jamaican sound system party. Others within the breakcore genre, like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knifehandchop">Knifehandchop</a>, <a title="Kid 606" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_606">Kid 606</a> and Soundmurderer, hark back to rave&#8217;s own early days, their music  evoking the rowdy fervor of a time when huge crowds flailed their limbs  to a barrage of abstract noise and convulsive rhythm. It&#8217;s a poignant  aural mirage of a time when techno music was made for the popular  vanguard rather than a connoisseurial elite, as it is today.&#8221;</p>
<p>In Europe, the breakcore genre was solidified by raves and club events such as Belgium&#8217;s <a title="Breakcore Gives Me Wood (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Breakcore_Gives_Me_Wood&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1">Breakcore Gives Me Wood</a>, featuring local acts such as <a title="UndaCova" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UndaCova">UndaCova</a>, <a title="Sickboy Milkplus" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sickboy_Milkplus">Sickboy</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droon">Droon</a>; Breakcore A Go Go, in the Netherlands, which was run by FFF and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bong-Ra">Bong-Ra</a>; as well as Anticartel, in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rennes">Rennes</a>, the seat of PeaceOff, and later, <a title="Wasted (party crew) (page does not exist)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wasted_%28party_crew%29&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1">Wasted</a>, in Berlin.</p>
