Breakbeat Era

Breakbeat Era

Breakbeat Era was a short-lived British project that combined the breakbeat talents of drum and bass producers Roni Size and DJ Die with the vocals of singer Leonie Laws. Spearheaded by the single "Ultra-Obscene", and then released as an album under the same title in 1999. It was one of the first rock/pop/drum & bass fusion albums, a genre which Kosheen also later explored.

In conjunction with the album's release, the group was also seen as a live act in the U.S. and UK in a similar vein as Reprazent, with focus on Leonie Laws. [cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1426572/12011999/breakbeat_era.jhtml |title=MTV News |accessdate=2006-10-30 |format= |work= ]

Since the album seems to be a one-off project, other releases seem unlikely. As of 2006, Leonie Laws was working with a new drum and bass live band called "Blackout".
