There are many more people who have it in their music but those are the ones right off the top of my head. And where did breaks orignate?? Floooooooorida. Florida is the only place where you'll find this type of music coming from. And it's everywhere, you just don't realize it. There is another genre that comes from California, west coast breaks. Go buy a Simply Jeff cd and you'll know exactly what it sounds like. Yet, it's really just a knock off of Florida Breaks. Example: Simply Jeff has a song on one of his CDs called "Feel My Energy". The song was put out in like 96 but still blows a crowd up. The track was actually written by a close friend of mine who lived in G-ville when he made it and who's on the juice record label....his name is Mike B. If you're ever in Atlanta he now lives there and has a residency at the Velvet Room. My point is, Mike made the track while living in Gainseville...its total Florida Cheese and yet Simply Jeff's label put it on one of his CDs (I believe its the blue one).
Don't trash the cheese if you can't feel the funk, playa.

I definitely understand what you are saying but that music just really doesn't appeal to me. (Florida) breakbeats really isn't my thing and especially since its become more mainstream in the music of the popstars of today. Give me some Terry Mullan any day and I'll be much happier!
