Breaksworld.com was arguably the breakbeat site which appeared following the rapid evolution of "nuskool breaks" in the late 90's. Developed and maintained by dutchman Jorrit Van Hertum (operating under the pseudonyms 'Aras' & 'Helix'), breaksworld provided a rich depth of resources and breakbeat information with contributors from around the world offering an unbiased and comprehensive view of the world of breakbeat. Jorrit retired the site in 2003, but Breakspoll.Com thought it was about time it was honoured by bringing it back to life for breaks fans to peruse its archives.
