Though vintage-conscious trance snobs will forever deride breakbeat as the Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill of the electronic music vineyard, diehard fans of Orlando-based DJ Baby Anne and her compatriot de deck Jen Lasher are happy to chug away the night and morning immersed in the duo’s traded-off trap-kit-beats and acid bass lines. Baby Anne, the self-proclaimed “Bass Queen,” delivers the electro-funk breaks made harsh with a serpentine version of Miami’s trademark trunk-rattling thunder. Lasher is confident enough to brazenly reference Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, and other New Wave classics, and the darkness of her mixes might give even the surliest trance acolyte reason to reconsider breakbeat’s dregs.
