Could be... I dunno. Maybe both? I must stress that I really love the MBM I've actually heard...

Please note that the Prodigy sampled MBM's "radio babylon" for one of their early tracks. I think it might have even been "charly"

Hmmmmm... I don't think it's Charlie. Don't have my CD here (mate has it - thanks for reminding me!); if it's credited I'll find out. What's it, like, sound like?

Yeah that's the problem with the term breakbeat, it has distinctly different meanings.

Most Djs I know use it to refer to a style of contemporary electronic music that has an uneven emphasis on the beats, as opposed to house which has the same emphasis on each beat. This is what I know as the genre, "Breakbeat".

This is different from "a breakbeat" which is as others have covered the late 70's disco break two turntables remix, which is where the term first came into use.

The difference between the two can be largely a matter of BPMs. "Funky breaks" can refer to either one, they make you want to move your ass and owe a lot to James Brown.
