I honestly didn't think it needed the breaks. I totally get the insertion of energy to offset the build section, BUT I think the speedy breakbeat distracted me from the other musical parts which I really enjoyed. That said, still an excellent tune!
@haberchuck i tried removing the breakbeat just now and it just sounds way too empty. however, i tried lowering it by 2-3dB and i do think it sits better there - now that you mention it i do think it is a bit too prominent in the mix, just didn't notice that at the time sadly
