Ambush

Together with Praxis, Ambush was a gamechanger in the evolution of Breakcore, maybe *the* gamechanger. In the first half of the 90s "Breakcore" was to most part a very "Amen" or similar breakbeat fueled affair, and maybe not *that* different to Jungle, especially its Darkside contingent - well, one must admit they replaced the Rave-stabs with more Industrial sounds. But with Ambush Breakcore got a texture of its own, and diverged into wider differences in style. Newer Drum'N'Bass methods were included, but also Noize, more Ragga sentiments, all kinds of weird ideas and just full-on destruction.

A lot of the second generation of Breakcore artists was heavily influenced by the Ambush sound. With each new release, Ambush pushed the sound wider, but faltered to soon.
