The 2025 Power Playlist
Neo-Funk Revolution
The Electric Breakers ft. DJ Vektor
This track lays down a thick, rubbery bassline over crisp 808s that's pure footwork fuel. The breakdown at 2:15 is a top-rock killer, switching up the rhythm just enough to challenge your timing.
108 BPM Future Funk
Concrete Jungle
Metro Nomad
A gritty, sample-heavy beat that resurrects the raw energy of 90s boom-bap but with a modern, polished low-end. Perfect for power moves and aggressive freezes. The horn stabs will have you hitting those sharp angles.
98 BPM Boom-Bap Revival
Phantom Rhythm
Astra
An ethereal, synth-driven track with a deceptive half-time swing. Its layered percussion creates multiple rhythmic pockets to play in—ideal for dancers who love to play with musicality and texture.
87 BPM Synthwave Breaks
The Re-Up
Breaksmith & K-Swift
A modern reinterpretation of a classic breakbeat. The "Amen Break" is chopped, flipped, and layered with a sub-bass that you feel in your bones. A guaranteed floor-shaker for any serious Cypher.
105 BPM Classic Flip
Quantum Glide
Cosmic Flow
Smooth, atmospheric, and impossibly funky. This track's driving disco-style bass guitar and four-on-the-floor kick drum provide a steady, energetic pulse for endless footwork combinations and glide moves.
116 BPM Disco-Funk
Low Frequency
Subsonic
As the name implies, this one is all about the bass. A minimalist, head-nodding beat with a kick drum that hits like a heartbeat and enough space in the arrangement for your most explosive power moves to breathe.
92 BPM MinimalHow to Build Your Session Soundtrack
Building the perfect breaking playlist is an art form. Start with higher BPM tracks (110-120) to get your blood pumping and focus on footwork. Transition into mid-tempo beats (95-105) for practicing your power and freezes—these tracks often have the heaviest drums. Finally, slide into some slower, groove-oriented jams (85-95) to drill your fundamentals and explore musicality.
Pro Tip: Don't just listen—feel the music. Count the beats, identify the kicks and snares, and hit those accents. Your body should become an instrument in the track. Now get out there and tear up the floor!
