Brokenbeat is an electronic music genre first appearing at the beginning of the 21st Century. Appearing in the western parts of London, the genre is also referred to as West London. Regular nights which play this genre of music include Co-op at Plastic People in Shoreditch and Inspiration Information at Notting Hill Arts Club .
Artists in this area mostly have a drum and bass, house, hip hop or techno background. As a result in a mixture from all of these, brokenbeat is more sophisticated than regular dance music, on the scale of jazz, soul or funk. Popular names are Bugz in the Attic, Seiji, Domu, Afronaught, Stephane and Alex Attias, Mark de Clive-Lowe , 4 Hero and Jazzanova.
