Explained simply
Broken beat is a style of dance music built around syncopated, irregular drum patterns, often mixed with elements of house and jazz. Ben Hauke first became known for music that drew on these sounds, but felt the style could be too soft and jazzy for his tastes.
Club music covers a wide range of electronic sounds made for dancing, and producers often reshape its rhythms and textures. Hauke has said he wanted to make something rawer and more experimental, using his own preferences as a guide; Woop Records is the label releasing his music.
