Title of the journal/publication: Breakbeat Style Overview
URL/WEB: https://www.discogs.com/style/breakbeat 
Main Idea:
 Breakbeat characterized by a prominent, syncopated 4/4 rhythm constructed from break beats. Some Discogs users nevertheless use Breaks and Break beat tags on these types of records.

Evidences that supports the main idea:
"Break beat is a primarily UK-based style that existed alongside and quickly became infused into hardcore rave/techno music, in turn leading to faster, more complex jungle and hardcore music. Break beat is characterized by a prominent, syncopated 4/4 rhythm constructed from breakbeats—i.e., sampled drum breakdowns from rock, jazz, funk, and hip-hop music. Unlike jungle, breakbeat has very little variation or rearrangement of the drum patterns, and it is usually slower/mid-tempo, roughly 100 to 125 BPM, speeding up as the style evolved into jungle. The "Golden Age" of breakbeat was the early 1990's."

"Some Discogs users apply the Breakbeat tag to any release that utilizes breakbeat samples, but such usage is contentious, especially for releases outside the 1988–1993 timeframe; the tag was originally intended to refer specifically to the pre-jungle/pre-hardcore music that was actually called breakbeat, or as a way to differentiate breakbeat-based techno from non-breakbeat-based."
